Is there a common thread between the impeccable, medal-bedecked tunic seen in studio photographs of soldiers on peacetime leave and the shapeless, drab garment worn by the endless columns of prisoners at the war's end? Looking at the countless photographs of Wehrmacht Heer soldiers taken between 1935 and the defeat of 1945, one might reasonably ask the question. Throughout this in-depth study — the fruit of several years of research in French and German archives — military history enthusiasts and collectors will be fully immersed in the highly regulated, and sometimes surprising, world of the German Army's field tunic. Drawing on official texts, this work examines every seam and every manufacturing variant of the regulation Feldbluse. Numerous period photographs and reconstructions illustrate the gradual changes in the appearance of the German soldier in combat. 144 pages 230x310 mm — 350 colour photographs
