Soldat Volume XI-D: The Reproductions by Cyrus A Lee, Mark D Stone

SOLDAT is designed as a handbook for the collector of German military uniforms, equipment, insignia and medals. This volume contains over 400 full color photos of over 100 different uniforms of the Heer, Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe, Waffen-SS, Polizei, and foreign volunteers. A special section focuses on the uniforms and equipment of the Fallschirmjager. All of which are hyper-detailed replicas.

With "collecting" now such a cut throat business; availability and cost of many items is now beyond the wherewithal of most. But dreams don't have to stay dreams nowadays with so many replica items available. Using a team approach Soldat FHQ has helped knit together hundreds of dreams into real collections. This volume details part of one such collection.

This volume of SOLDAT sets the hobbyist free of the bounds of size and expense to turn a dream into a collection. Like the other SOLDAT XI series books, this volume shows what can be done with replicas so the reader can be forewarned as they venture into shows, both virtual and real, as to what has been and a what can be replicated. I am still shocked at what I see sold by reputable vendors as "100% original" collectibles; and with this volume of SOLDAT one fake spotted pays for the book many times over!

SOLDAT is an essential tool for anyone interested in German WWII militaria.

SOLDAT continues to grow with the hobbyist.
