Title: AfrikaKorps Uniforms and Equipment
Product review: This In Action book gives a very short, concise, accurate summary of the desert warfare fought by the Germans, Italians and British. I thought the emphasis was going to be on the uniforms and personal gear of Rommel's troops, but the photos are about largely about the equipment they used, almost all with soldiers in the photo. That's why I gave it four stars. Good for what it is, misleading cover.Still, it does give you a good flavor on what the conditions were and how the equipment was used. The B&W; photos here are very crisp, clear and many I've not seen elsewhere. The two pages of color drawings are of the uniforms only.If you're looking for a book just about German uniforms, this is not it. But the photos really have a lot of detail of interest to armor buffs and especially good for anyone building a diorama. I enjoyed this book, worth getting if you're just getting into the history of the Afrikakorps, or perhaps find it on discount.
