Customer Reviews
Indepth and concise
Focusing almost exclusively on German paratroopers (with about eight pages at the end devoted to Italian and Japanese forces) and with a minimum of text, Kurtz offers page after page of photographs (some old, many new; some black and white, many color) of smocks and tunics and trousers and headgear and badges and just about any other paraphernalia imaginable, including "baby's cradles presented to families of paratroopers...when they had a child." Many close-ups of details like zippers and pockets. Quite useful for anyone trying to dress like an authentic fallschirmjaeger!
