BK-5a Camouflage Uniforms of the
German Wehrmacht
By Werner Palinckx. Superb new title from Mr. Palinckx
and Schiffer Publications on German Army and Luftwaffe camouflage uniforms. This
is a remarkable book, with excellent photography that beautifully and distinctly
presents the various camouflage patterns in use by these forces. It covers all
types of camouflage clothing and gear (equipment). The final chapters provide
fascinating info on the last patterns the Germans were developing when the war
ended. There is also a very interesting chapter on the effectiveness of the
German patterns - including period shots - and excellent color photos of
uniforms against backdrops that show how well the uniforms blend in – or
don’t – with their surroundings. Sure to be a very popular collector’s
reference, and together with Mike Beaver’s book (on SS Camouflage), another
superb contribution to the hobby. Over 580 full-color photographs and includes
the original dust jacket. Desirable! 278 pages.
$75.00 (N,HC)
