 Excellent Pics!! July 21, 2008

A very nice book. Lots of color pictures of what appears to be original uniforms. In fact, some of the uniforms were faded and/or torn a bit, so they must have been the real thing. A good buy!!
 Excelent photographs of real uniforms May 12, 2008

Waffen-SS Uniforms In Color Photographs: Europa Militaria Series #6 (Europa Militaria)
This book is essentially a dramatic display of a large, single collection of original SS Camo uniforms. Models/reenactors are posed in various situations to show off the items being discribed in the text. Both the text and the photos are good. There are even a few unusual items displayed.
The book's only weakness is the limitations of the collection it displays. This book is not a comprehensive catalog of Waffen SS uniforms or camo.
Can you see about as much or maybe even more in an illustrated reenacting supply catalog? Probably; but it wouldn't be all original material in good-quality color close-up photos.
If you want to check your reproduction items against the real thing but don't have access to originals, here's a way to do it. Just be prepared for the possibility of not finding everything, or exactly what you're looking for.
Bottom line: if money is tight and you are looking for an extensive reference book on Waffen SS field unifoms and equipment, this is not it. If you want to do some comparisons or just want to see a good selection of original items being worn in realistic settings, then this is it.

I paint mostly WW2 28mm miniatures many of which are SS. The SS were an elite branch of the axis army. Many wore dotted camo patterns and this book has many close-up pics of the patterns so one can recreate them. Very nice addition to my collection. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the uniforms of WW2.

I needed to fill my library with a high quality comprehensive look at the Waffen SS uniforms- preferably in color, and boy did I get it. This book may not be the thickest but it is outstandingly high quality packed with sharp, full color pictures, showing in detail the uniforms using reenactors with correct weaponry in plausible scenarios. It is truly an awsome catch if you are interested in the Waffen SS's variety of uniforms or even for the cool reenactments of their lives.
