DOC Uniforms of the SS (Volume 4) by Andrew Mollo in History

Review

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Historical InsigniaBy Sickly ChildThis volume of the first 'comprehensive' history of the uniforms and organization of the SS shows its age. The later books by Bender and Taylor are more comprehensive but many of the volumes in this earlier Mollo series are worth a look. This is one of them. Expert opinion has changed regarding some of the examples provided but the Totenkopfverbande is still scarcely covered in most of the other 'standard' works. The weakness is reliance on drawings instead of photos for many of the illustrations. When the provenance or historical accuracy of many of the expamples is still in question; drawings are not nearly as good as photos. This volume will help 'round out' a reference library on this difficult subject but it's hardly a stopping place.
