Hi and welcome to my auctions. I am a model maker and bookseller with over 30 years experience. I specialise in aviation, maritime, military and militaria reference books aimed at model makers, collectors and enthusiasts. I try and list at least once a month, so please add me to your 'favourite sellers' list. I sometimes get more than one copy of a title in stock, so if you are looking for that elusive title, please let me know.I believe that everyone deserves a chance to ow...n an item, therefore in 99% of all my listings, prices start at £0.99 regardless of the item's value - this is the way eBay should be, in order to make it a fun place to shop.

German Paratroopers Uniforms & Equipment 1936-1945 Vol.II: Helmets, Equipment and Weapons - Karl Veltzé - Schiffer Military History
SCARCE!
Awesome Book!
Fantastic book as usual from Schiffer. There are three books in the series, and all are really first class. The books will be indispensable to collectors, uniform enthusiasts and military historians alike. This three-volume work is the most comprehensive and detailed study of the World War II German paratrooper to date, providing in-depth examinations of nearly every uniform item - including all models of jump smocks - and equipment used from the airborne forces’ establishment in the mid-1930s to May 1945. It also extensively covers specific insignia and various unique ephemera. Finally, the work provides in-depth summaries of the operations the “Green Devils” fought in, from the air assaults on Norway, Belgium’s Fort Eben Emael, Holland and Crete, over ground combat in North Africa, Russia, Italy and Normandy through the Battle of the Bulge and on to the last days of the Third Reich.The author and publisher were able to draw on an unprecedented degree of cooperation with collectors and museums from all over the world. The three volumes run to more than 1, 000 pages, with thousands of specially commissioned colour photographs of original Fallschirmjäger artefacts, some of them never shown before, accompanied by many unique period black and white images, many of them hitherto unpublished
Universally acclaimed and already fetching high prices!
368 page hardcover published 2015
