This is an expert guide to the uniforms of Britain, America,
Germany, USSR and Japan, together with other Axis and Allied
forces. It is an incredible directory of the military personnel of
the period, with 600 images, including photographs and
illustrations of uniforms, kit, weaponry and equipment. It analyses
the context of the conflict, and the ideology and politics that
motivated the various national forces, as well as the experience of
the soldiers who fought on the front lines. World War II was a huge
conflict, fought on different fronts, covering diverse terrain and
involving the fighting men of dozens of nations. At the outbreak of
war in 1945 military uniforms had changed little from those worn by
the soldiers of World War I, but as the conflict progressed changes
were made to adapt to fighting and living conditions. This book
covers in detail what the soldiers who fought in the war wore, from
British infantrymen in Normandy to Japanese troops in Burma, and
from Finnish ski divisions to female Chinese partisans. Lavishly
illustrated, with intricate insignia detail, this book offers a
definitive visual study of a pivotal period of history.
