To my fellow members on the WAF, this is a request for assistance for a book project on German Personal items of WWII. My name is Jim Pool and for those that don’t know, one of the authors of Rations of the German Wehrmacht in WWII. The second Volume should come out in 2012 or 2013. My initial vision and outline for the Personal Items books are shown below.<O

Both Volumes will be a blend of wartime intelligence reports, factory information, and of course photographs much like the Ration books. Obviously a project of this scale is well beyond the capability of any single person to cover adequately.<O></O>
<O></O>
So I’m asking for your assistance in providing any of the following:<O></O>
<O></O>
a. Wartime photographs of German soldiers conducting activities or actions consistent with the topics shown above.<O></O>
b. Contemporary or wartime photographs of personal items.<O></O>
c. Written information (wartime or Contemporary) on the selected topics or individual personal items.<O></O>
<O></O>
Scanned items should be done at 300 DPI or higher. Small photographs etc should be scanned at 600 DPI or higher. <O></O>
<O></O>
Contemporary photos of items in your own collection should be taken at 350 DPI or higher. Please photograph the item against a solid covered background. Please provide several views or angles as you deem appropriate. Wartime dates, manufacturer info is of special interest.<O></O>
<O></O>
All contributors will be required to fill out a Letter of Release and will be recognized for their support. I have utilized the Schiffer Publication release form since my hope is they will publish the books. At this time I have not offered the project to anyone and have no commitment from any publisher to publish the works.<O></O>
<O></O>
A Release Form in Word is shown below. If needed a PDF file will also be sent.<O></O>
<O></O>
