Among all the German elite forces, the “Green Devils” distinguished themselves, from the early stages of WWII, by their feats, their esprit-decorps and a chivalry towards their adversaries. From a uniform point of view, the rich variety of their field dress is an added attraction that the reader will discover through 12-inch figures, giving the full scope of the many theaters of operations where they fought during the war.

The scenes reconstituted and revisited by Frederic Bouteiller and Pierre-André Dupuis, all inspired by real events and veterans’ recollections, fill in a gap left by the official photographs. History is relived with these 12“ figures.

Action figures, the modern heroes of this Norman saga, have written a new page of the legend. Adjusting the harness, smoking the last cigarette in the C-47, hitting the ground, drowning in the marshes with death stalking behind the hedges, the return... Just as many pictures left buried in the memory of the veterans alone.

This is spectacular new book from Europe’s leading uniform and equipment publisher will follow in the footsteps as such classics from the past as From Doughboy to GI.

After the release of Volume 1, many readers and collectors pointed out several pieces they possessed which were missing from the book. Although including each and every item issued to the American soldier is a near impossible goal, the author started making a list of what should included in a second edition.

All chapters from volume 1 have been revised and updated (among others: uniforms, signal and medical equipment) and new sections have been added, including personal equipment, Stateside training, and the life of POWs in German camps.

More than 1,000 new artifacts with detailed captions are featured in this completely revised new work. Volume 2 of the G.I. Collector’s Guide provides a complete and unequaled source of American ground force documentation for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
