 The Collector's Friend July 25, 2004
I am the author of CANUCK, planned as a companion series to the SOLDAT series; having said that up front, I would like to champion Cyrus' books on German military equipment. His series does a lot of things no other series has yet done; provide detail rich current photos of actual equipment and how it was worn, with detailed information on variants, insights into the soldiers' lives, and some very good comments on telling original items from postwars or reproductions - a must for serious collectors.
These books are a great alternative to pricier, and out of print, works like Angolia's much more comprehensive books. For the collector, Lee's books are probably even a little better as the photos are larger and clearer.

A fine book on the subject of the German infantryman's uniform in 1943.While not as in depth as other available books,it has plenty of information and photos of the uniforms and equipment.Only drawback is that excepting four pages of color the photos are black and white.Still very good for the price.

There are many books out there on the same topic, but Soldat features the best reconstruction photos going, plus provides a very good price into the bargain. Comprehensive, well laid out, with good colour photos in a separate section, SOLDAT is good for veteran and newcomer collectors alike. Highly recommended for collectors, re-enactors, costumers and historians.
