The German Stahlhelm is perhaps the most recognizable image of World War II. Manufactured in its millions, it was used or copied by many countries. It is still one of the most collected relics of the war; but despite its relative availability, prices have reached levels that challenge collectors to protect themselves by acquiring in-depth knowledge. This book, by a collector of 30 years' standing, offers a detailed masterclass in the patterns, component parts and finishes of the combat helmets used by the German Army, Navy and Air Force. It is illustrated with a superb selection of rare period photos, colour photos of collected examples, and striking colour paintings.

The United States Marine Corps was one of the phenomena of the Second World War. Greatly expanded from its prewar order of battle of scattered defense battalions, overseas garrisons and ship detachments, it became a multi-division force bearing the brunt of the hardest fighting across the whole vast expanse of the Pacific theater of operations. In August 1942 Marines were among the first to strike back at the Japanese in the jungles of Guadalcanal; Marine Raider battalions were formed to carry the fight to the enemy; and from the Central Solomon's landings of mid–1943 it was the Marines who spearheaded the 'island hopping' amphibious campaign which brought them to Okinawa, on Japan's doorstep, by VJ-Day. This epic story has been well documented in most respects except one: the uniforms, insignia and personal equipment of the Marines who fought their way across the Pacific. Authoritative, illustrated reference works of this important aspect of World War II's physical history have been notoriously lacking. In this book, longtime collector and researcher Jim Moran fills the gap, with a systematic, detailed guide illustrated with more than 300 photographs, including some 200 close-ups of surviving items in private collections on both sides of the Atlantic. The author covers service and field uniforms at the outbreak of war; the development of the Marine's dungaree's; the introduction and development of the camouflage uniforms which became the Marine's trademark in the popular imagination; the 782 gear webbing equipment; the various packs and other load-carrying items; the uniforms, insignia and equipment special to the elite Marine Raiders and Paramarines; the uniforms and accouterments of the US Marine Corps Women's Reserve; and a range of issue and personal small kit items which collectors may encounter. His research is supported by some 100 wartime photographs showing the identified item in use. Assisted and encouraged by the US Marine Corps Historical Center at Quantico, Virginia, Jim Moran has produced an essential reference for the collector, modeler, illustrator and uniform historian.

The collecting of MKII helmets from the second world war has seen a considerable increase in interest among collectors recently. The enthusiast approaching this sector of militaria collecting for the first time has very few tools available that can at least point him in the right direction. So, taking stock of the knowledge I have acquired and with the help of various collector friends, I thought it might be useful to publish this guide on MKII helmets in the second world war and their use during the Italian Campaign. There is certainly a lot more to discover but this is a starting point. A tip, before making a purchase, always ask the opinion of other collectors because a trained eye can definitely help you in this jungle of post war use, fakes, tampering... and beautiful helmets that still know how to tell their story. A big thank you goes to Francesco Braneschi, it is also thanks to him that this "research" came about, to his passion and to our constant exchanges of opinion on this sector of the militaria. In an attempt to understand something more I cannot fail to thank Marco Visani, super adviser with his infinite bibles. A thankyou also to those who contributed with their time, photographs, information, and much more: Alessandro Zentile, Antonio Bonanno, Aaron Delaney, Brendon Ellis, Cristian Rubiola, David Yeomans, Dennis van Vugt, Fabio Ortolani, Francesco Saverio Giovagnoli, Giovanni Righini , Ivo Beute, Leonardo Biserni, Mark Kozowy, Massimo Costa, Paolo Zamma, Peter Young, Steven Britton and the Boys of the Combat Road association. Thank you. And finally, thank you to Fabio Roncella for his essay on the battle of Montegabbione, our roots are in history. Buona lettura! Daniele Piselli
