Description: Product Information This illustrated book is the first comprehensive reference work covering winter uniforms used by the German Army- Air Force and Waffen-SS during the period from 1942 to 1945. The book is intended for collectors- historians- model makers and those with an interest in military history. Following the attack on the Soviet Union and the first experiences with the Russian winter in 1941-42- it quickly became clear to the powers that be standard German Army uniform was completely unsuitable for waging war in the east- where temperatures often dropped far below zero. This made it necessary to create a new uniform capable of dealing with the climactic conditions on the Eastern Front. This book describes the creation of the Winteranzug 42 winter uniform- the first of its kind- and the following versions for the army- air force and Waffen-SS later in the war. First the complete winter uniform - balaclava- parka- trousers and mittens - is illustrated schematically in all its details.
