BLITZKRIEG - LIGHTING WAR (1939-41)

INCLUDES 86 RECONSTRUCTIONS OF GERMAN UNIFORMS WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHES.

''This book is a study on the German Army acting in some outstanding episodes during WWII. More concretely, this work focuses on the 1939-1941 period, which matches with the strarting of the Blitzkrieg or Lighting War by the Wehrmacht...

... We have included so many wartime photographs, most of them still unpublished, and added full colour pictures to portray the more representative uniforms worn by the Wehrmacht during this period. The wartime photographs come from public and private archives and collections, we need to emphasize especially the collaboration given by Antonio Gonzalez Sanchez and Santiago Guillen Gonzalez, who placed their own superb collections at the author's disposal.

The work has been also added many color profiles of aircraft and tanks, as the use of both weapons was one of the keys of the Blitzkrieg success during the first years of WW2 (from the book's back cover).
