This is a rich, all-color visual reference exploring the everyday gear of Axis soldiers during WWII—from Germany, Italy, Japan, Finland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania. It showcases uniforms, weapons, gear, personal items, field equipment, and insignia with more than 1,000 curated items drawn from museums and private collections. Archive photographs depict the uniformed man in action, while new photographs show collected artifacts in detail. Text by David Miller, a former British Army officer and seasoned military historian, ensures credibility and depth; editor Graham Smith collaborated to produce what many deem one of the most definitive works on Axis infantry equipment.
