About this product
Product Information
Osprey's examination of German troops in the post-World War I (1914-1918) period. The troops returning home to Germany after the 1918 Armistice found their country riven by internal unrest, and its eastern borders threatened. Though reluctant to support the new Republic, the many Free Corps formed by ex-Imperial soldiers fought furiously against Communist revolutionaries at home and Polish and Bolshevik Russian pressure on the frontiers. Later providing much of the manpower for the new Reichswehr, the Free Corps would have strong links with the nascent Nazi Party. This concise account of a little-known but central episode in the history of 20th century Germany is illustrated with rare photographs, and ten colour plates showing unprecedented details of uniforms and insignia.

The German troops of the revolution and civil war
Good classic military outline from this publisher. The brief overview of the historical period with good photos of equipment and uniforms. These are then detailed in the central color plates as with all the series. There is not much "meat" to the history, as with all the series, but the idea of the period is given well. The plates are excelent, but I do doubt the K98 shown in two plates, it seems to be from a later period? Apart from that small detail. a great introduction to the German revolution and civil war period following the Great War.
