Hi Tommy,

Yes, there will be a couple of new Heer-FJ, Brandenburger and WSS photos in the books. As well as dozens of other interesting, unpublished ones. Plus some very rare uniforms, equipment, insignia, documents from a number of top collectors...

These books look fantastic! Here's some more information that I just pulled off the internet about each of them. Please excuse the rough translation by a non-German speaker (me).

German Paratroopers - Uniforms & Equipment 1936-1945 is out now!!

Dear WAF members,

I am very proud to announce that Volume 1 of my book - discussed above - on the German paras is finally available as of today (both the English and the German edition). For the moment it's only available from the publisher's website (Berliner Zinnfiguren/Zeughaus Verlag) and will also be on sale at the Kassel show end of November.

I am very grateful to the large number of WAF members who contributed select items from their collections to it. A very special "Thank You" goes out to "Gran Sasso" without whom this work wouldn't have seen the light of the day.

As soon as I get my own copies I'll try to post some images on this thread.

Glück ab!
Karl
