The armies of the Third Reich were a formidable foe for the Allied forces – largely thanks to the effectiveness of their equipment and weaponry. In this first-class book, renowned firearms expert John Walter examines the full range of guns used from the commercially successful Walter PP and PPK, to the double-action, personal defence pistols Mauser HSc and Sauer M38. Walter also considers the value of weapons that were captured and then used, by the Wehrmacht and the police. Thoroughly researched and illustrated with fascinating examples, this comprehensive reference book covers all significant aspects of design and employment, including data for each weapon on length, weight, barrel, magazine and muzzle velocity. This is an indispensable resource on a compelling subject.

JOHN WALTER has been involved with military history since 1968 and has published more than sixty books, translated into a dozen languages under a variety of names. His books have appeared in a dozen languages and range from the ‘nuts and bolts’ military history to steamships, railways and naval history. He has contributed to key journals including Guns Review, Guns Digest, Gun Collector’s Digest and Shooter’s Bible, and now contributes regularly to Classic Arms & Militaria and The Armourer. He is one of the world’s best-known authorities on guns of the cartridge era. He lives in Portslade.
