This is part one of a comprehensive two-volume reference that shows all the camouflage uniforms of the Waffen-SS. Using predominately modern colour photographs, Volume 1 covers SS camouflage helmet covers and smocks. Each example is displayed on a full mannequin with numerous photos showing how the clothing appeared from various angles. In addition, detail images are used to clearly expose key features of the uniforms and equipment. The text explains the important details about the creation, manufacturing, and wear of each item. Period photos establish the wear of each item presented in the book. AUTHOR: Lorenzo Silvestri's favorite hobby is collecting WWII military artifacts, focusing on German SS and Italian relics. Silvestri's interest led to his photographic history books on the uniforms and the camouflage used by the Waffen-SS during World War II. 943 colour images
