Luftwaffe Search Lights and Range Finding Equipment [Paperback]

Features more than 140 photographs of Luftwaffe search lights and range finding equipment.This new photo album is number 31 in the MMPBooks/Stratus Camera On series and is the first to cover such equipment as Luftwaffe search lights and range finding equipment, of which the book contains 140+ photographs. The majority of the photos are from private collections taken by ordinary German soldiers, not professional propagandists. In this volume, we endeavor to show this rarely illustrated equipment in some detail but still show it as the soldiers viewed it as both their work place and also their home, not the highly posed and polished views of the official photographers.This book is an invaluable reference for military historians and modelers alike.This new photo album is number 31 in the MMPBooks/Stratus Camera On series and is the first to cover such equipment as Luftwaffe search lights and range finding equipment, of which the book contains 140+ photographs.The Camera On series explores the equipment and operations of the German Wehrmacht in WW2. The focus is on the often ignored or overlooked soft-skinned, non-armored, vehicles used by the German army. These profusely illustrated photo albums include a large number of previously unseen pictures, many from private sources in Germany. Whatever the rules might have said, German soldiers took many photos, and these are the basis for our new series!Individual titles cover either an operation (such as Dunkirk), or a class of vehicles, from horse-drawn transport to the wide variety of soft-skinned vehicles, large and small, used by the German armed forces.An essential reference source for military enthusiasts and modelers.Well worth picking up.This makes for another great addition to the Camera On series, which has grown into a marvellous reference resource. Even better, this is just volume 1 so we can expect another on this specialised range of equipment that was a vital part of the Flak units.PL
