This long-awaited work is a detailed reference on the officer's
headdress of the Imperial German army from 1871-1918. Described and
shown in full color are helmets from the following subjects: generals,
infantry, cavalry, artillery, technical troops, communication troops,
train, semi-military forces, medical and veterinary services, intendance
and supply, the beamte, marine infantry and the colonial forces.
Informative and detailed descriptions trace the changing models and
patterns, as well as the "nuts and bolts" of assembly. Also discussed
are the Imperial German Army's organization, service, and recruiting of
the period from all of the Kingdoms, Grand Dukedoms and Princedoms, as
well as the Hanseatic Free States. This book is an important source on
Imperial headdress for collectors, dealers, historians, auctioneers and
restorers.
