Description: New book, 192 pages. German Soldiers, sailors, and airmen of WW2 went to war with a variety of personal effects in their pockets and knapsacks. Chris Mason's new book explores this most personal, private and often poignant aspect of military history, through a study the small items German soldiers used in barracks and in the trenches for work, hygiene, eating, relaxation, and survival. This sudy of these small personal items, presented with hundreds of full-color and period photos, provides a remarkable window into the daily lives of men caught in the maelstrom of history.
