Help with reference books

[gebirgs1938]

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to this hobby and up to this point have been collecting helmets. I want to start on uniforms but I don't feel confortable with my current level of knowledge. Could anyone share there opinion on different reference books, and what is truly worth the money. Any help would be greatly appricated.
Thank you,
Eric D.

Angolia's 3 volume set on German army uniforms is very good. Beavers volumes on SS uniforms is indispensable.

These will keep you busy!!

YEP ! !

And Eric, as your ID is Gebirgs1938,I take it you have an interest in Gebirgsjäger ...
I haven't found any good (modern) books on Mountain equipment that could fill me in on blanks. It comes down to reading period books and examine period pictures.

THanks for the help guys! THESE BOOKS ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!! but a bit of money now will probably save me much later. Yes bart, The name "Gebirgs" is because my wife's grandfather was a gebirgsjager. I have attached a pic, hope you enjoy it! (1 Gebirgsdivision Artilerieregiment 79 , 1942-1945, He still lives in a small village near Salzburg Austria)
Thanks again,
Eric

Hi Eric,

Nice picture ! He's wearing a G33/40, not often seen ...
The load in the back shows the tripod for some optics. Could be for the Richtkreiss 31 ... or the rabit-ears ...
