Sorry John, don't know. I bought my copies at the Milan shows as they were released over the past couple of years.

These guys are friends of mine and these pictures published are just few from the Pavia's archive, a city far few kms from Milan.
If I well remember, pictures from panzer turkish soldiers are shown in the third book.
Incredible and rare pictures of german and RSI italian soldiers with exotic uniforms.
Higly raccomended!!!

Hitler's Turkestani Soldiers: A History of the 162nd (Turkistan) Inf. Div.

A new book has been released telling the story of the 162nd (Turkistan) Infantry Division, a German division composed of Central Asian Turkistanis "volunteers".

Myself, I participated in a uniform/photo section. For this I used many pictures that originate from the excellent 3 volume serie:“Deutsche Truppen in Italien”.

I'm sure this book will be most satisfying for all of those interested in the history and uniforms of Ost Truppen.

Excellent set of books and out of print. I'm in need of a second set of them, so please send a PM if anyone knows of a set for sale.

Yes - I've tried to finding these (they're referenced in another thread here as well). I've only seen one volume on Ebay and the price was too prohibitive for me.
