These books present in detail the field-grey uniforms, helmets, weapons,
and equipment used before and during the First World War. The origin and
the many formations in existence at the outbreak of the war, and newly
raised will be outlined, followed by a section on uniforms. The many
carefully selected black and white war-era photos with large and
complete captions will give the reader a thorough understanding of the
appearance of the German Army during World War I. Each branch of service
is lavishly illustrated with over 3000 black and white, and color
photographs. The three volumes cover: uniforms, headgear, weapons, gas
warfare, telephone and communications equipment, infantry, jäger,
schützen, radfahrer, mountain troops, machine gunners, cavalry,
artillery, pioneers, transport, train, medical, and miscellaneous
formations.
