A vintage hardcover copy of Uniforms, Organization and History of the Panzertruppe by Roger James Bender and Warren W. Odegard, a substantial reference work devoted to the German armored forces of the Second World War.
Unlike general histories of German armored warfare, this volume places considerable emphasis on the organization, uniforms, insignia and identifying characteristics of the Panzertruppe. It provides detailed information on Panzer formations and their commanders alongside extensive coverage of specialized uniforms and headgear, rank and branch insignia, unit and divisional markings, armored vehicles and their development.
The book is extensively illustrated with period photographs, detailed drawings, uniform illustrations, vehicle profiles and diagrams. Particularly useful to militaria collectors is the coverage of the distinctive black Panzer uniform, Panzer headgear and insignia, including comparisons between Army and Waffen-SS armored uniforms.
Additional sections document German armored vehicles and their technical characteristics, as well as the tactical and divisional symbols used by individual Panzer formations.
Authored by Roger James Bender and Warren W. Odegard, this is an older but highly specialized collector reference from an important period in the development of English-language research into German military uniforms and organization.
This hardcover example remains in very good used condition overall. The covers show light age and shelf wear, particularly at the corners and extremities, while the interior appears clean and well preserved with strong binding and numerous illustrations throughout.
