BOOK SUMMARY
In the most ambitious Vickers Guide project to date, Vickers Guide: WWII Germany looks into European weapons development in the interwar years of the 1920s and 1930s and tracks the accelerated changes that took place in Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Examples of unrivaled craftsmanship are shown in detail, along with explanations of the subsequent production compromises that were made by German arms producers throughout the war.
This First Volume of Vickers Guide: WWII Germany specifically covers the small-arms categories of Machine Pistols, Submachine Guns, Bolt Action Service Rifles, Bolt Action Sniper Rifles, Primary Service Handguns, Foreign Service and Occupation Handguns, and a wide selection of the other pistols used by Germany throughout the war. In all, over 60 firearms are shown in incredible detail to give enthusiasts of all levels a new appreciation for this incredibly dynamic time in firearms development.
In this book, special operations combat veteran Larry Vickers has teamed up with a number of subject matter experts, including Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons and Tom Whiteman of Legacy Collectibles, to provide additional insight into the wide variety of firearms being showcased.
Vickers Guide: WWII Germany presents this highly curated collection of firearms from the Second World War in never before seen detail on larger than life, wide format, full color prints in a linen covered hardback.
