New Book: "Handbook of the Hitler-Jugend"

[stonemint]

I just found out today this book is now out. Has anyone seen it? Is it simply pic after pic of triangles, or are there just as many period pics of uniforms in wear? Anyone have any sample pics of the inside pages?

Superior Work

My copy arrived today and I can say that if all reference books on the TR era were as complete and as well done as this one is, we wouldn't need to worry too much about asking questions about why or what for on items.
Well done, well researched and well presented.

Hi Gents,

Anyone know the price, and where to purchase from?

The book is 784 pages. Every page has photos of items and many have period photos as well. It also contains a complete list of A4 RZM manufacturers and dates they held permits and thier locations. Complete Bann lists as well. The information comes from period sources and did not use the SHAEF lists as they have many errors. I collect HJ straps and boards almost exclusively and there is more information here than any other HJ reference. The footnotes cite which publication or regulation applies to the items pictured and described. Douglas, it's availible on Bender Publishing and it's around 90 usd.

I'd assume anything by the author would be exhaustive and complete.
