In the same layout like the volumes "Die k.k. Landwehr-Gebirgstruppen - Geschichte, Uniformierung und Ausrüstung der österr. Gebirgstruppen von 1906 bis 1918" and "Die deutsche Armee im Ersten Weltkrieg" this picture-book shows more than 850 high quality photographs and illustrations, most of them in colour. These are exhibits from the Bavarian Army Museum (Bayerischen Armeemuseum), Ingolstadt, the Wehrtechnischen Studiensammlung, Koblenz, the Militäry History Museum (Deutsche Historische Museum) of the Bundeswehr, Dresden, the German Historical Museum (Deutsche Historische Museum), Berlin and the Royal Army Museum (Königliche Armeemuseum), Brüssel. Previously unknown testing rifles, going back to the Prussian Rifle Testing Commission (preußische Gewehrprüfungskommission), for the first time allow to show the historical background that lead to this weapon. Also extraordinary variants and much more equipment, belonging to the rifle, is explained in word and by photographs. Further more the technical changes, the manufacture process, the organisation of mass production, the production figures and problems with the supply in WW 1 complete this detailed edition.
The book is also available in English for the same price!
