About this product
Product Information
One of the great debates to come out of World War II surrounds the question of who had better equipment, the Americans or the Germans. This new book approaches that question in two ways. First, it reprints a report published by the U.S. Army analysing German equipment. This report offers an insider's look at just what Americans thought of their opponents' equipment. Second, it presents a visual comparison of the equipment of both sides. Mostly in colour, these photographs cover machine guns, handguns, mines, and other weapons; ammunition rounds and storage cases; tanks, jeeps, half-tracks, and other vehicles; uniforms, from caps and helmets to camouflage jackets; medical gear; communication devices; miscellaneous equipment such as binoculars, gas masks, canteens, and shovels; personal items like lighters and cigarettes; awards and insignia; and much more. Black-and-white photos depict notable commanders and show equipment in use in the field. This is a must-have reference for historians, collectors, modellers, re-enactors, and anyone interested in World War II history or military history in general.About the Author Uwe Feist is a world-renowned expert on military weapons and equipment, especially those used by Germany in World War II. He lives near Seattle, Washington.Product Identifiers

Fascinating book on US and Germany Army WWII kit- but no index!
The book is a reproduction of a US report comparing weapons and equipment of the Wehrmacht Heer and US Army. The topics include clothing, infantry weapons, artillery and tanks. The book is well illustrated with contemporary (and more modern) photographs and this section takes up about half the book. There are many opinions of the weapons and these are fascinating to read, albeit they are not objective comparisons and some statements by the contributors are factually incorrect. The main weakness of the book is the lack of an index. If the reader wants to know what the Americans thought of the Panzerfaust or the Panther tank, they have to start at the beginning and work through and my copy is adorned with sticky notes!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
