OEM as described, couldn't ask for more than that!
GERMAN ARMY GRENADIER 1944-45 (STEPHEN ANDREW) LANDSER BOOKS
20 May 2016
Pure Late War Grenadier
Late WWII German military equipment is a source of great fascination for many interested in the period. I was taken with the Osprey series on the subject since first discovering them, but always wanted more. This title provides that in spades. If you are interested in late war German Army (Heer) uniforms, then look no further - this book provides a heavy dose of colour plates and detailed descriptions; page after page of them.
Following a useful introduction, there follow full page colour plates with accompanying text. Each plate contains two grenadiers illustrated with Mr Andrews usual aplomb. The explanatory text starts with a general description of the particulars of specific uniform types (such as Summer, Winter, camouflage etc.) thus giving a useful background before delving into the details of the individual uniforms on display.
No space has been skimped on, as even the inside rear cover provides extra information on general aspects of German uniform production and usage.
Comparison with Osprey books is inevitable and complimentary. However this book outdoes Osprey in terms of pure visual content - imagine an Osprey title with back to back plates and you can then see the appeal of this volume. I very much look forward to more to come!
