What is German Army Handbook (1939-1945) about?
I have the 1974 edition of this book. If this edition is the same or similar, it is a valuable overview and reference work for anyone interested in the German Army (Heer) of WWII. It is of a much higher standard than many recent works encountered (names withheld to spare the guilty). W.J.K. Davies is able to succinctly cover Divisional organization, weapons, and tactics in one, 176 page, volume. While not going into any great depth, the information, such as German chart and tactical symbols (also used on vehicles), and their meaning, are an important rare find. Most of the book covers "Equipment" (Chapter 5) and "The Men and their Accoutrements" (Chapter 6). It's too bad more people have not read his work. He clearly explained the difference between Wehrmacht and Heer over 30 years ago. Yet, virtually everyone is still making the same mistake...
