The military policeman must be one of the least appreciated yet most indispensable military figures in modern history. In the mobile warfare of the 20th century no army could keep its vital supply routes open without the military policeman. This book documents the organisation; uniforms and insignia of the many and varied German military police units of World War II. Their duties included traffic control; maintaining military order and discipline; collection and escorting prisoners of war; prevention of looting; disarming civilians; checking captured enemy soldiers for documents; collection of fallen enemy propaganda leaflets and providing street patrols in occupied areas.

The Museum of the City of New York pulled it together. The book is as comprehensive and enlightening as the Museum show. The text is a very good read; and illustrations are beautifully presented. I think people interested in the art world or the political significance of gay and lesbian creative people in NYC over a long period of time will love this book. I have given copies as gifts; and they were well received.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
