Die feldgraue Uniformierung des deutschen Heeres 1907–1918
It does not matter whether you are a novice or a very experienced collector. In my opinion, these two volumes represent the best value. Sticker shock warning. These are extremely expensive and come from my former publisher VERLAG MILITARIA. It is an Austrian firm and shipping cost can be pretty steep as these books are only available in German. If you have hesitations about buying a German language book, you can figure much of this out without linguistic Powers.
The long-out-of-print anniversary work of the German Army Society from 1999 is presented here in a 2nd, improved, supplemented edition. They cover completely the entire field gray uniform of the German army from the first developments to the end of the First World War. In addition, in close connection with the formation, it also paints an overall picture of the German army in the First World War. In the first part of the work, all items of clothing are described in detail and illustrated in detail with their changes, which were often caused by the scarcity of raw materials during the war and illustrated with clear illustrations. The range extends from headgear, skirts, trousers and coats to all uniform badges and personal equipment including knapsacks, gas masks and horse equipment. Special sections are dedicated to the new special clothing for mountain and snowshoe troops and tropical clothing.
The second part deals in detail with the uniforms of the individual troops and authorities of the army, organized by branch of arms. Not only are the respective badges for all troop units shown on the various items of clothing, but they are also explained in close connection to the history of the formation. This takes into account the countless war formations, such as reserve, Landwehr and Landsturm troops, as well as numerous special technical formations, e.g. B. Mine thrower companies, anti-aircraft or high-current formations, which were awarded special badges. In addition, special clothing was created for the aviation and motor vehicle troops, which is also discussed in detail. A large part of the work is also dedicated to military officials, whose complicated structure and uniforms are explained in detail for the first time and clearly presented in numerous tables. A total of 70 full-page color plates clearly show the system of the field gray uniform to the reader.
Following the structure of the two-volume text volume “The field gray uniform of the German army 1907–1918”, this illustrated volume. Though nice to have, I do not think that this volume is essential. It is a picture book like other picture books that are available. Well, it is very nice and obviously tied to the two volumes, it is horrendously expensive. Now one thing you can say about this publisher is that the books may be expensive, but they are complete works of art.
