Infos

An authoritative guide to the guns and manufacturers Fully-illustrated with photographs and diagrams Written by a world authority on firearms The armies of the Third Reich were formidable foe for Allied soldiers. This was, in large, part due to the effectiveness of their equipment and weaponry. In this new book, renowned firearms expert John Walter examines the full range of guns used by the Third Reich 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, then used, by the Wehrmacht and the police. Thoroughly-researched, 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, making this an indispensable resource on this fascinating subject. John Walter is the author of a number of books including Military Rifles of Two World Wars, Military Handguns of Two World Wars, The Greenhill Dictionary of Guns and Gunmakers and The Luger Story.
