Book excerpt: Heavy demand has created an international market in fake Third Reich uniforms, equipment and decorations. In this unique volume, over 200 photographs display several hundred fakes side-by-side with the authentic originals. Both are described in meticulous detail, making for two reference books in one. The author has drawn upon Scotland Yard forensic techniques to wage a 20-year battle against counterfeiters of Third Reich memorabilia, some of them exhibiting almost unbelievable ingenuity. Not readily available in the United States for a number of years, this is a solid work for the serious military collector and enthusiast that has also proven to be very popular with general readers.
