It was the most formal of the German Army uniforms, reserved for parades and ceremonial occasions. 87 examples of this important uniform are portrayed in beautiful, full-color professional photography illustrating every branch-of-service Waffenfarbe for enlisted men, NCOs and officers. Included are rare uniforms such as worn by chaplains, Nebelwerfer smoke troops and the Grossdeutschland Regiment. Details of their insignia, interior markings and tailoring are covered for each uniform. Additionally, there are 300 crisp period photos showing the proper and improper wear of the Waffenrock. This massive gem of a publication comes in a beautiful, heavy-duty slipcase.

Otto Skorzeny only rose to the rank of Colonel in the SS, yet is one of the best known and colorful figures of the Third Reich, in large part because of the faith Hitler had in the tall Austrian engineer. Many books have been written about his career, to include autobiographies, but before he died in 1975 he personally entrusted Bender Publishing with the formidable task of producing the most detailed, up-dated and best illustrated version of his incredible life story. A quarter of a century later, after painstaking research into the text and a hunt for unpublished illustrations, the ultimate story of Scarface Skorzeny, the most dangerous man in Europe and Hitler's commando extraordinary is finally available. Complete with an exhaustive index, providing biographical details not found in the text, this is likely to be the last word on this larger than life personality, one of the great characters of World War II.
