Any recommendations for a good reference book on German ordnance & weapons of WWII?

Hi Guys,

I've learned a lot from the internet over the years, but thought it would be nice to also get a good reference book on the subject of German ordnance and weapons. Something with good pictures and lots of details.

Which books do you guys recommend? (I would prefer it in English, but it does not have to be)

there are several books on the market......Deutsche Gewehrgranaten und Gewehrgranatgeräte from Michael Heidler, Deutsche Leucht- und Signalmuntion bis 1945 from Dr. Lorenz Scheit ( also in english available) and Deutsche Nahkampfwaffen from Wolfgang Fleischer

Thanks Jens. I was wondering about the Wolfgang Fleischer book, especially since copies of it are so expensive these days.

Great references, thanks. Lexpev.nl is such a great site, but I did not realize they had these manuals too. Now they are an even better website for me.
