Reviews
"These two volumes should be read in conjunction and together they are highly informative. There are plenty of photographs which are accompanied by highly detailed texts. . . . The author has done a great service and he should be highly commended for his efforts. Just saying "well done you have produced two brilliant books" is a massive understatement.", For the collector, the re-enactor and the modeller, this is another goldmine of references, all beautifully photographed. Add this to volume 1 and I can't imagine a more complete reference, and an insight into the challenge all this would have presented for the quartermaster service., ...unique, informative and captivating. Once I started looking at the book, I could not put it down., Henri's incredibly exhaustive research has resulted in definitive illustrated guides to GI gear 'so that the sacrifice of those who fought for the liberation of Europe is not forgotten.' Readers will be rewarded with a mother lode of photos and data vital for historians, militaria collectors, model makers, and toy soldier and model figure enthusiasts.

Synopsis
In World War II, the U.S. Army not only supplied its soldiers with the most modern equipment and uniforms, suitable for any combat situation, but went as far as providing them with their favorite drinks or candy bars, and seemingly anything else they might require.This comprehensive reference book brings together all the equipment issued to American soldiers in the European Theater of Operations, 1943-45. Each item is presented with its catalog numbers, described in detail and fully depicted in photographs, including close-ups of the labels to aid identification of items. Graphics and diagrams offer additional information and context. This second volume of the G.I. Collector's Guide is fully revised with the addition of sections including personal equipment, trophies and souvenirs, the wartime draft and Stateside training, and the life of POWs in German camps. More than one thousand new artifacts with detailed captions are featured in this completely revised new work.Expert Henri-Paul Enjames describes all variations of uniform, insignia, badges, weapons, and equipment in detail. As a complete catalog with high-quality photographs, this book is invaluable to both family historians researching grandpa's kit found in the attic and to collectors in their quest to find authentic items among the reproductions that flood the modern market., Sumptuously illustrated, expanded encyclopedia of the uniforms and equipment assigned to U.S. soldiers serving in Europe, 1943-45.
