Title: Impressive Compilation but...
Review: 240 different uniform illustrations "a la" Osprey, very impressive and very well rendered but... only a handful of combat/fighting uniforms.so if you are looking for equipment references this will leave a sour taste in your mouth, considering the book go for $80 or so used nowadays...On the other hand 80 bucks for 240 color plates, definitely puts away the slim ospreys ( no comparison on the historical, references, thorough detailing, additional pictures and complete background though...)so if you're looking for fancy officers' parade uniforms, evening tuxedos, german red cross volunteers, nurses, female auxiliaries, youth and SA brown shirts, coal miners surveyers, railway police officers and other obscur female auxiliaries, this is the book for you.If you're looking for paratroopers' camouflage patterns and eastern front grenadiers' reversible snow jacket, then this is the wrong book, stick with osprey.book is tiny too. paperback is 5x7.
