Tarnfarben

Collectors like to get a feel for things they wish to add to their acquisitions, but some items remain tantalisingly out of reach no matter how hard they try to get hold of an example.

The illustrations in this book are of such high-quality it feels as though you are touching the real thing. The text is highly detailed and if there was a way of adding smell to a book this would preclude the need to buy an item. This first volume in a series covers the painted camouflage items of the German army in WWII from helmets to ammunition boxes, respirator tins and fuel cans – the famous Jerry Can. The differences in paint colours is explained and the highly detailed images shows collectors exactly what they should be looking for. With so much replica German stuff on the market, this book is an indispensable must for the serious collector. It explains a lot and will avoid making costly mistakes. We can only eagerly anticipate the next volume to continue our education in this remarkable field of collecting.
