Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. NOTE: This book is OUT OF PRINT. Limited quantities available - this may be our last copy. This is the first in a new series of detailed references on service badges and emblems - the distinguishing insignia that are worn on uniforms to show such information as rank, trades, qualifications, proficiency and skill-atarms, formations, units, locations and districts. Third Reich Cloth Insignia covers the services, organisations and units - military, political and other - that were part of Germany under the Nazis. This includes the Wehrmacht - the majority of the book is on the German Armed Forces, including army, navy, air force, Waffen-SS and Volkssturm; also covered are the political and administrative units.
