Examined in this book in the author's continuing series are the
Austro-Hungarian Empire's machinegun, medical, artillery, infantry,
cavalry and communication units. Other chapters cover distinguished
branches, such as k.u.k. Kriegsmarine (Navy), Seeflieger (Naval
Aviation), Generalstab (General Staff) and Beamten (Civil
Servants). Also covered are the Bulgarian machinegun, medical,
artillery, searchlight, communication and cavalry units. Further
chapters cover Bulgarian and other countries medals, orders, and
decorations worn by royalty and high ranking command as well by the
frontline soldier.
The majority of the images portraying the German armed forces
during World War II were shot by closely censored Kriegsberichter
(war correspondents), and frequently obfuscated the actual wartime
experience for propaganda purposes. In this all new series, one can
look back in time and see the war through the untainted lenses of
the individual Frontsoldaten, who were daring enough to capture
this epic period on film. In addition to fascinating candid photos,
is a carefully selected array of studio portraits. The outstanding
color gallery has the exclusive privilege of featuring original
period uniforms, equipment, and accessories from internationally
acclaimed collectors.
Volume two on the Central Powers examines Imperial German
artillery, cavalry, machinegun, medical, transport, and infantry
units. Other chapters explore Imperial Germany's Kriegsmarine
(Navy), air service, and Kaiser and generals. Additional chapters
cover Pickelhauben (spike helmets), Stahlhelms, Iron Cross
recipients, and tropical uniforms. Additional chapters include rare
images of Ottoman Turkish armed forces, as well as Eastern European
Legions.
