Berrafato Enzo & Laurent Kriegsmarine 1935-1945: History, Uniforms, Headgear, Insignia, Equipment
This 9x12 book describes and shows - in over 1000 color images - the history, uniforms, headgear, insignia, and equipment of the German Kriegsmarine between 1935 and 1945. In this work, the authors focus primarily on all the unnamed seamen who served on the minelayers, Schnellboote, minehunters, cruisers, U-Boats, and other ships. For this reason, they discovered previously unknown war-era records from private archives. The uniforms and equipment shown are originals from the period, and likewise come from private collections. This book is a must for readers who are interested in the history of the Kriegsmarine, and is a definitive reference for collectors of Third Reich-era memorabilia. 1 vol, 256 pgs
