Uniformen und Abzeichen der Waffen-SS - Buch

This illustrated book is the result of intensive collaboration between two experienced militaria experts, who are making their private collections available to the public for the first time. With the opening of the archives in the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, collectors of uniforms also had access to previously unknown material. The majority of the uniforms and badges depicted in this book come from the sub-republics of the former Soviet Union, especially from the Baltic states, from which many volunteers of the Waffen SS came. The interest in the German Wehrmacht and above all in the Waffen-SS, which consisted of highly motivated volunteers and was regarded as an elite force, has continued to this day. The outstanding military achievements of the Waffen SS on the battlefields of the Second World War as well as the confusing variety of German and foreign volunteer associations and the resulting multitude of uniforms, badges and markings attract collectors, researchers, model makers and others to the military equipment of the 2nd .World war interested in their spell.
