Badges Insignia Of The Third Reich 1933 1945

On parade, in full color: all the most important cloth badges and insignia used by 64 different German uniformed formations. Eleven categories range from National and Organizational Emblems to Flag Bearers Insignia and Musicians "Wings." Along with the historic German Army, Armed-SS and Air Force shoulder straps and collar patches, coverage extends to obscure but fascinating insignia of such organizations as the Technical Stud Service of Prussia and the Female Signals Operators of the Organization Todt.

The first edition of this now classic work truly broke new ground. It was the first reference work supported by full photographic evidence to cover in detail every aspect of the military uniforms, insignia and accoutrements of the German Army during the Third Reich. Now updated with extra notes and corrections, it remains the standard work on the subject. There are over 460 illustrations that cover all types of uniform dress from helmet to footwear. Included are badges and insignia of rank, arm of service colours and insignia, trade as well as specialist and qualification badges.

On these pages will be found a wealth of little-known and hard to find facts on German Military uniforms and insignia from 1933-1945.
