Book Description
The majority of the images portraying the German armed forces during World War II were shot by closely censored Kriegsberichter (war correspondents), and frequently obfuscated the actual wartime experience for propaganda purposes. In this all new series, one can look back in time and see the war through the untainted lenses of the individual Frontsoldaten, who were daring enough to capture this epic period on film. In addition to fascinating candid photos, is a carefully selected array of studio portraits. The outstanding color gallery has the exclusive privilege of featuring original period uniforms, equipment, and accessories from internationally acclaimed collectors.

 Excellent resource January 25, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The value of this book lies in the abundance of photographs of German vehicles and heavy weapons that are presented in a variety of different combat settings. As an added bonus, the latter 50 pages or so contains a series of wonderful high quality color images of German uniforms, insignia, and personal equipment. The photographs come from private photo collections, and therefore offer a perspective that would not otherwise be available with photographs taken from "official sources". Most (if not all) the photos in this book have never been published before, and the book is well worth it's cost for this reason alone in my opinion. I highly recommend this book as a photographic resource of the German army in WWII that should be a valuable addition to the library of the historian and scale modeler alike.
