Davis's text examines the flags of the Wehrmacht, in this first of three volumes concerning flags of the Third Reich.

An essential part of German propaganda was the raising of non-German volunteer contingents, variously named as ''Legions'' and ''Free Corps''. These units were from their outset mere token forces, comparatively insignificant in numbers and maintained chiefly for their propaganda value. However, as the tide of battle turned relentlessly against the Germans, the appeal for volunteers became ever more desperate. In this second of three volumes examining the flags of the Third Reich [see Men-at-Arms 270 and 278] Brian L. Davis examines the flags of the Waffen-SS: those of Walloon, Flanders, Norway, Finland, Danzig, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Croatia, France, Spain and India. Men-at-Arms 270, 274 and 278 are also available in a single volume special edition as ''Flags of the Third Reich''.

The first detailed, illustrated description in English of wartime life in Germany, and the tentacles of the Nazi state as they affected every man, woman and child.German families suffered the same hardships as British - labour conscription, extra civic duties, severe shortages of food and necessities, disrupted transport, homelessness and evacuation, separation from loved ones and, for many, bereavement.However, there were important differences. The dictator for whom many had voted was leading them to ruin; unequalled death and devastation ensued from Allied air raids; and every aspect of life was caged around with repressive decrees that began to replace the true rule of law well before September 1939.This book outlines and illustrates the living conditions of German civilians in World War II, and the Nazi state''s basic structure.

The population of Britain was mobilized to support the war effort on a scale unseen in any other Western democracy – or in Nazi Germany.They endured long working shifts, shortages of food and all other goods, and complete government control of their daily lives. Most men and women were conscripted or volunteered for additional tasks outside their formal working hours. Under the air raids that destroyed the centres of many towns and made about 2 million homeless, more than 60,000 civilians were killed and 86,000 seriously injured.This fascinating illustrated summary of wartime life, and the organizations that served on the Home Front, is a striking record of endurance and sacrifice.
