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. Under the Nazi regime, Hitler's conservative views on the place of housewives and mothers in society limited German women to a much less active role in the war than their British and Allied counterparts. Nevertheless, the demands of a prolonged war did see German women in a range of uniforms as auxiliaries with the Army, Navy, Air Force and SS, particularly in the signals and air defence services. This unique book explains and illustrates these organisations and their uniforms and insignia, as well as Red Cross nurses, and auxiliaries of the Labour Corps, Customs Service, National Socialist Women's Organisation, and League of German Maidens (Hitler Youth).  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. The field equipment of the German Army in World War II was closely related to that used throughout World War I and earlier, yet it was of relatively light weight, ruggedly constructed, well designed, functional, and generally of a high quality, though this deteriorated in the later war years. A high degree of design standardisation was maintained in most categories of equipment, though materials and their colours often varied widely. There were also many different specialisations for the various arms of service as well as theatres of combat, such as the Afrikakorps in the Western Desert. This title investigates all manner of German combat equipments throughout World War II, from belt buckles to magazine pouches.

We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. The book is based on the official unit history of the 319th Glider Field Artillery Battalion, one of two field artillery battalions attached to the famous 82nd Airborne Division. The 319th is one of the most highly decorated units among all of the U.S. Airborne forces, winning two Presidential Unit citations in WWII and then their third and fourth Presidential Unit citations for combat valor in Vietnam. During WWII, the men of the 319th fired over 88,000 high explosive shells against the enemy in five separate campaigns from Italy to the Siegfried Line, unleashing the equivalent destructive power of 3,345,786 pounds of TNT against German soldiers, troop vehicles, German artillery positions, Tiger tanks, 88 gun positions and pill boxes with devastating effectiveness. The men of the 319th made two glider assaults during WWII, the first on D Day in Normandy (where almost 20% of the men were killed or injured in the multiple glider crashes behind enemy lines) and the second during the invasion of Holland. Gliders were used by both Allied and Axis armies in Europe to bring large numbers of fighting men, artillery and heavier weapons onto the battlefields as part of several large scale Airborne invasions. The gliders were towed by powered aircraft such as the DC-3 or various bombers (in the case of the British and German glider troops) and then were released behind enemy lines to float silently to the battlefield with no offensive weapons, no armored plating to ward off anti-aircraft or machine gun fire and no effective landing gear or steering mechanisms to avoid crash landing. Of the 16 million service men and women, who served the United States during WW II, less than 1% were required to ride into battle aboard these powerless, unarmed aircraft, in what the History Channel has described as "Suicide Missions" of WW II. However, because the helicopter had not yet been perfected, the men of the 319th provided sorely needed artillery support to the paratroops of the 82nd and fought alongside the men of the 504th, 505th, 507th, 508th and glider troops of the 325th regiments (82nd Airborne) in every major battle of the ETO. In this thrilling saga, follow the men of the 319th from N. Africa to Italy, then on to the British Isles, where they prepared for the Normandy Invasion on June 6th, 1944. In Normandy the 319th Glider artillerymen, along with the paratroops of the 82nd Airborne, set a record for 33 days of continual combat without relief. Then it was back to England for several months of training before embarking on Operation Market-Garden, the invasion of Holland. When the British First Airborne surrendered to the Germans in Arnhem, the 319th went fought defensive action for over 40 days supporting the British forces until relieved and sent to France for a much needed rest and retraining. This respite from combat did not last long, however, as the 82nd Div (including the 319th was called up to the front lines in December of 1944 to stem the German Ardennes Offensive. In January of 1945, the 319th was part of the attack on the Siegfried Line, the last western defense of Nazi Germany. Later the 319th liberated Cologne, Germany and was sent on a mad rush in April of 1945 to keep the Russians from coming too far West and possibly capturing Denmark.

Even though the Civil War is among the best-documented wars in world history, the story of the individual soldier is not well documented. What is the story of the men in blue and gray? In The Fighting Men of the Civil War, William C. Davis shows us that for these soldiers the Civil War was far removed from politics, from the great question of slavery, even from the movement of armies. Shifting his focus from the officer to the men in the ranks, he begins with enlistment and training, follows with life in the camp and on the march, and concludes with experiences of combat, imprisonment, and sickness. Following the men through a wealth of anecdotes and firsthand accounts. Davis brings us the reality of war. Each branch of the service is highlighted, as are combatants such as sailors in both navies and the many African-American troops traditionally denied the limelight. Camp life, uniforms, weapons, and a host of personal items are featured in a series of specially commissioned photographs - together with illustrations of there arms, armament, and uniforms of both Confederate and Federal forces.

We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Guy Whidden, II is a veteran 101st Airborne paratrooper. This book recounts his time served in World War II through letters written home to his mother. As the title suggests, Guy's censored letters often forced his family to read "between the lines" to figure out the many subtle messages he was sending. Through these letters and Guy's narrative, we relive many of his experiences: Army training and the voyage to England on the S.S. Strathnaver; his historic jumps into Normandy on D-Day and into Holland during Operation Market Garden; and being seriously wounded by a German mortar shell that killed two of his friends...nearly causing his own leg to be amputated. These letters show the progression of a young man as he grew in maturity and the resilience of the true and honorable soldier that emerged. This book gives a realistic and yet lighthearted look at what Guy went through during that period of his life so many years ago. But it does not stop there. Guy is still busy! An epilogue relates his activities since WWII including his "re jump" into Normandy in 1994.  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. The purpose and intent behind this work is simply to provide collectors, both novice and expereienced, with a wealth of detailed photos from which to gain a better understanding of what an original World War Two German Wehrmacht helmet looks like. Since the time of that horrible and vicious conflict between Allied and Axis forces, much has happened to the helmets used by the Third Reich. Thousands of helmets were shipped to neighboring countries as war reparations to be repainted, relined, and used by their military. These include Norway, Czechoslovakia, and the Netherlands. Thousands more, met their end in the blast furnaces of the former Soviet Union, as they melted the steel to use for arms against their former owners. Still more lay buried, covered in the ground which hides the horrors of war. Those helmets that remained found their way to the homes of the victorious soldiers. Today, these war souvenirs are the desirable helmets sought by a wide variety of collectors. However, as with all collectibles, the rising value of the helmet lured some into the "remanufacture", "reproduction" and "fabrication" of the original style helmets. Every component of the original, is remanufactured today. Several of the items are stamped by the very equipment that produced them through the 1930s and 1940s. These items, coupled with the reintegration of the helmets delivered to Norway, Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands and now in the hands of an artist, can mirror an. original, veteran bring-back trophy With a little time and effort, a helmet and parts purchased for a few dollars can be assembled and "artificially aged" (through a variety of means) to resemble a valuable original. How is one to know the original from the fake without being victimized over and over? Perhaps the best manner of making a determination is to see, first hand, original examples. These are becoming more and more difficult to come by and are demanding greater and greater prices. This, again, is the purpose for this book: to have a detailed study of original Wehrmacht Heer and Luftwaffe helmets, which can greatly assist one in education and identification of the real versus the fake and help eliminate the "Reckless Optimism" many collectors display when desiring to acquire an authentic helmet. I consider myself a collector and historian and not an expert. Certainly there will be some who will point fingers and say some helmets or components pictured are those that have been fabricated or reproduced. Great effort was placed in authenticating the pictured examples. The history behind these relics signifies a past that must be remembered, for all those who fought and died, on all sides. Remember, these were soldiers. As all soldiers do, they were fighting, not so much for their country, as for the "Kamerad" on either side of them while on the battlefield.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.

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. SS helmets continue to attract many collectors who desire to own one of the most heraldic pieces of militaria of any war or period. SS helmets are truly unique as they represent, better than any other single artifact, the Pan-European movement as dreamed of by Germany s WWII leadership. Because of their desirability, perhaps more than their rarity, collecting SS helmets remains a challenging and sometimes difficult hobby. The greatest difficulty of course is to locate original examples, which are becoming harder to find. With their scarcity comes increased prices, and with increased prices comes counterfeiting. In the relentless attempt to educate collectors away from the pitfalls, this book is offered as a follow-on and supplement to "SS Helmets" Volume One. In this new piece, improvements have been made in presenting the materials and information, focusing on imaging as an educational tool. Hopefully this will complement and supplement volume one, and provide the basis for increased knowledge for old and new collectors alike."  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas.
