A vintage large-format illustrated reference book titled World War II German War Booty – Volume II by Lt. Thomas M. Johnson, continuing the author’s study of German WWII militaria captured, recovered and brought home by Allied servicemen.
This second volume is extensively illustrated with period photographs and detailed images of German military artifacts and historically significant war trophies. Featured material includes edged weapons, uniforms, insignia, firearms, captured flags, battlefield souvenirs and objects associated with prominent figures of the Third Reich.
Of particular interest are photographs documenting captured German material in Allied hands during and immediately following the war, including servicemen examining captured weapons, soldiers displaying German flags and souvenirs, and collections assembled from wartime bring-backs.
The book also illustrates several exceptional historical artifacts, including presentation firearms and personal items associated with senior German political and military figures, as well as uniforms reportedly recovered from locations occupied by Allied forces.
For today’s militaria collector, the historical photographs are especially valuable because they document German artifacts and the culture of souvenir collecting at the end of WWII, providing useful context for the provenance and history of veteran bring-backs.
An excellent reference for collectors interested in German WWII militaria, veteran bring-backs, edged weapons, uniforms, firearms, insignia and captured war trophies.
The book remains in good used condition overall. The covers display normal age, handling and shelf wear with some discoloration and minor edge/corner wear. Interior pages appear clean and well preserved, with numerous large-format photographs throughout.
