This book traces the evolution of the German Army uniform from 1870 to the present day, using nearly 800 photographs. Each image is accompanied by a detailed caption, explaining interesting aspects of the soldier's uniform, insignia and equipment.

It begins with the German Empire at its height, with the iconic Picklehaube.  It then moves on to to the field-grey uniforms of World War One, and then the uniforms of the Reichswehr and the Freikorps and the revived Wehrmacht up to the end of the Second World War.

The post war years saw the establishment of the Bundeswehr in the West and East Germany's Nationalen Volksarmee, facing each other across the border of a divided Germany, before unification in 1991.

Tha book concludes with photographs of Bundeswehr troops serving in Afghanistan.
