Harry - Since you had sometime to go through the book. What is your thoughts/comments? thanks...

Ralph, Sorry for the late reply, been pretty busy lately.

I was informed about the book by the Reservistenverband (reservists association), you had to place your pre-order directly at the unit, that was early this year. Originally the price was 15 Euro plus postage, but in late May I received a note from the publisher that now it was 25 Euro plus postage. The reason is that the original plan was to publish the book with advertisings, now its without them and the price went up.
Now, having this said, I think its well worth the money. It has loads of pics in both b/w and color, covering all periods beginning with the early days when they tested all kinds of equipment, tanks etc. Lots of unit insignia is also shown so collectors could be able to identify some pieces. Also nice is to see the change of the uniforms over the decades. At the end of the book one can find a "Who is Who" of the Brigade with organigramms from then to now.
So all in all its a great book for someone who wants in-depth infos.
The downside: Its all in German, but the pics speak mostly for themselves.
Best
Harry
