DEFENDING THE REICH

In this work, the acclaimed author gives a history of the air war, year by year, and then introduces the reader to the active ground defences: flak, radar, searchlights etc. The picture is completed with his coverage of Germany's civil defence structure including Luftschutz, TeNo, Police and Fire Services, Werkfeuerwehr, Luftschutzpolisei, Fire Services (Youth), etc. All the above organisations are richly illustrated in colour and period photographs, and show related uniforms, rank and specialty insignia, daggers, flags, medals, helmets: actually, everything these organisations wore and used. Be prepared to see rare and unique uniform items in brilliant colour, many never before identified. This massive book will be one of your favourite and most used reference books!
