DOC Armies of the Napoleonic Era: by Digby Smith in History

Description

During the times German soldiers weren’t involved in combat operations; they felt some return to a normal existence and a temporary break from the horrors of war. Relying on wartime British; American; and German references; this book sheds light on the day-to-day life of the German soldier; a topic that has only received passing coverage in many publications. Using the successful formula of the author’s previous two-volume series on German rations; this book focuses on Health and Hygiene; exploring many of the technical aspects of items often taken for granted; such as combs and soap. Lavishly illustrated with over 1;000 photographs; charts; wartime advertisements; and other educational aids; this book is a must for every serious collector and historian of the German military in WWII.
