Lavishly illustrated collection of uniforms, weapons and equipment
for the French defending soldier. Thanks to more than ten years’ researching and
analysing military archives, pictures and equipment, the author reviews all the
uniforms, equipment and weapons used by the infantrymen, in the continental and
Scandinavian theatres of operations.
The items are shown in colour with all the details needed for clear
identification. Because of the unequalled range and the variety of the items
presented, this work is a must for all French 1940 memorabilia collectors, but
also for those who are interested in World War I equipment because of the number
of items inherited from this period and the very complete and detailed way the
tools, the harnesses, the small items of equipment and the collective weapons
are presented.
