- Summary
- "In the opening months of World War II the Heer, the army of Nazi Germany, established a formidable reputation on battlefields across Europe, and the astonishing victories won by Hitler's troops in the Soviet Union in 1941 confirmed their combat prowess. The Heer's effectiveness was built on the reforms of weaponry, uniforms, personal kit and other equipment in the years before 1939, with innovation and evolution continuing throughout the ensuing conflict. In this fully illustrated book noted authority Dr Stephen Bull examines the German Army's wide range of uniforms, personal equipment, weapons, medals and awards, and offers a comprehensive guide to the transformation that the German soldier underwent in the period from the opening of hostilities in September 1939 to Germany's unconditional surrender in May 1945."--Back cover.
