Which reference book?

[Bobki52]

If I bought one of the following three reference books, which one should it be?

The Kriegsmarine Awards by Weber and Skora
War Badges of the Kriegsmarine by Gordon Williamson
Die Kriegsabzeichen der Kriegsmarine by Sascha

I reviewed the thread on reference books and it would be great to own them all, but alas... BTW, is Sascha's book available in English yet. I checked the B&D website and I didn't see it.

Correction

I'll correct my own mistake before someone else does. It appears that The Kriegsmarine Awards by Weber and Skora and Die Kriegsabzeichen der Kriegsmarine by Sascha are the same books.

So the question becomes which of these TWO books would you guys recommend?

The Kriegsmarine Awards by Weber and Skora
War Badges of the Kriegsmarine by Gordon Williamson

Hi,
The Kriegsmarine Awards (English edition in two volumes) by Weber and Skora is most complete now and if you want to have just one then take this one.
But if you want to collect KM badges I recommend you to get also War Badges of the Kriegsmarine and Torpedo Los! by Gordon Williamson. This is what I did and never regreted that
Cheers,

In all fairness to Mr. Williamson, but his book "War Badges of the Kriegsmarine" does not cover what the two volume set by Weber/Skora is covering. But one cannot compare a 1000 pages volume with one with 375 pages.

For the real collector there is only one answer: both books and also "Torpedo Los!"

I checked the B&D website and I didn't see it.
