Description:
New book, 256 pages. The armed forces of the Third Reich were formidable foes for the Allies, their remarkable victories and effectiveness often being due to advances in weaponry and equipment. In this book, world renowned firearms expert John Walker examines the full range of small arms used during the Third Reich, from double action personal defence pistols such as the Walther PP and PPK, the Mauser HSc and Sauer M38, to sophisticated machine guns such as the MG.34 and MG.42. In this masterful study, John Walter also considers the value of the broad range of weapons that were captured and then used by the Wehrmacht and the police. Appendices provide information about the most common manufacturers codes, a glossary of the most commonly encountered German terms and extensive coverage of small arms ammunition.
