German Combat Equipment, 1939-45 - Gordon L. Rottman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

German Combat Equipment, 1939-45 - Gordon L. Rottman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The field equipment of the German Army in World War II was closely related to that used throughout World War I and earlier, yet it was of relatively light weight, ruggedly constructed, well designed, functional, and generally of a high quality, though this deteriorated in the later war years. A high degree of design standardisation was maintained in most categories of equipment, though materials and their colours often varied widely. There were also many different specialisations for the various arms of service as well as theatres of combat, such as the Afrikakorps in the Western Desert. This title investigates all manner of German combat equipments throughout World War II, from belt buckles to magazine pouches.

Security Interests under the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment - Assistant Professor Sanam Saidova - Bog -

Security Interests under the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment - Assistant Professor Sanam Saidova - Bog -

This book provides an extensive analytical examination of the Cape Town Convention and its Protocols. The Convention aims to facilitate asset-based financing and leasing of aircraft, railway and space objects by establishing a uniform legal regime for the creation and protection of security and related interests in these types of equipment. The book provides a detailed treatment of issues arising from the creation of security and other international interests under the Convention, from the need to ensure their priority among competing interests to the enforcement of remedies in the case of the debtor’s default or insolvency. Security interests in aircraft, railway and space objects are among the most frequently invoked mechanisms used to ensure repayment of the debt. It is their significance, effectiveness and frequency of use that explains this work’s focus and scope.

US Marine Corps Recon and Special Operations Uniforms & Equipment 2000–15 - J. Kenneth Eward - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

US Marine Corps Recon and Special Operations Uniforms & Equipment 2000–15 - J. Kenneth Eward - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In the age of modern warfare the changing landscape of the 21st century battlefield has demanded a transformation within the US Marine Corps Special Operations. Adapting to a huge range of combat environments, an enormous array of specialist uniforms, protective armour and battlefield electronic devices were developed to facilitate missions in the most extreme conditions. A special forces operator would now have available to him a dozen distinct types of body armour and two dozen different weapons; never before in American military history had so much equipment been given to so few.Authored by J. Kenneth Eward, professor at the American Military University, and illustrated throughout with photographs and meticulous colour plates, this volume offers the first detailed, authoritative study of the characteristics, and performance in the field, of the most modern combat gear and weapons provided for USMC specialist operators to date.

The War Underground 1914–18: Tactics and Equipment - Simon Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The War Underground 1914–18: Tactics and Equipment - Simon Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This absorbing illustrated study reveals the evolving tactics and techniques used by all sides in the underground war during 1914–18. Covering the Western Front but also the Gallipoli and Italian theatres, this study explores three aspects of World War I below ground: military mining, attack tunnels and dugouts. In 1914–17, the underground war was a product of static trench warfare, essential to survive it and part of both sides'' attempts to overcome it. In 1917–18 it was rendered largely obsolete by the development of the all-arms battle as mobility was restored to the battlefield.In the stagnant, troglodyte existence of trench warfare, military mining was a hidden world of heroism and terror in which hours of suspenseful listening were spent monitoring the steady picking of unseen opponents, edging quietly towards the enemy, and judging when to fire a charge. Break-ins to enemy mine galleries resulted in hand-to-hand fighting in the darkness. The ingenuity, claustrophobia and tactical importance of the underground war are discussed and depicted in this fully illustrated study from an acknowledged expert. The artwork plates include depictions of the specialized uniforms, weapons and equipment used underground, as well as vignettes that vividly convey the many aspects of subterranean warfare during World War I.

The Special Air Service - James Shortt - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Special Air Service - James Shortt - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Since its birth at Kabrti in 1941, the Special Air Service has consistently captured the imagination of the military and public alike by the daring and unconventional nature of its operations. The nature of the tasks and the methods peculiar to the SAS have made it difficult to standardise items of equipment. Apart from issues common to the British Army as a whole, SAS personnel have need of, and access to, various specialised ''pieces of kit'': often SAS innovations created to meet specific needs. James Shortt investigates the organisation, tactics, equipment and remarkable history of Britain''s elite fighting force.

Italian Aces of World War 2 - Giorgio Apostolo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Italian Aces of World War 2 - Giorgio Apostolo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Flying aircraft such as the Macchi 200-202, Fiat G.50 and biplane Fiat CR.42, the Italian fighter pilots were recognised by their Allied counterparts as brave opponents blessed with sound flying abilities, but employing under-gunned and underpowered equipment. Following the Italian surrender in September 1943, a number of aces continued to take the fight to the Allies as part of the Luftwaffe-run ANR, which was equipped with far more potent equipment such as the Bf 109G, Macchi 205V and Fiat G.55. Flying these types, the handful of ANR squadrons continued to oppose Allied bombing raids on northern Italy until VE-Day.

The German Army 1939–45 (5) - Nigel Thomas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The German Army 1939–45 (5) - Nigel Thomas - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book covers the high command, the developments in unit organisation, the campaigns and the uniforms and equipment of the German Army in the last two years of the war in North-West Europe and Italy. Despite the huge pressure of fighting on three fronts, ever-worsening shortages of manpower and equipment, and Allied command of the skies, Germany''s decimated divisions fought on with impressive skill and determination. This period of World War II (1939-1945) also saw a fascinating mixture of obsolescent, newly designed, and field-made combat clothing which gave the German soldier a radically different appearance from his predecessor of just five years before.
