Wehrmacht 46 - L'arsenal du Reich highlights the tens of armaments, equipments and materials, developed for Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS, and also tries to present their genesis, doctrines of employment, and the units which would have used them.
Many things were said and written about the "Hitler's miracle weapons" - so visionary for some as fanciful for others - studied or implemented in 1944-45 by Nazi Germany to try to knock down the course of the war. Through the multitude of materials developed in the urgency by the German engineers for its various branches, it is possible to provide an overview of what would have been the appearance of the Wehrmacht if the Second World War had gone on of several months in Europe.

To begin this study - so far unpublished in French - this first volume, dedicated to Heer and Panzerwaffe, gathers more than 200 photos as well as tactical plans, hundred colour profiles of vehicles and personal weapons, as well as soldiers' silhouettes presenting battle dresses and individual equipments to the study in 1945.
The second volume, so rich and to be released on the fourth quarter of 2016, will be devoted to Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, Waffen-SS and in weapons of mass destruction.


The whole book, text and captions, is in French
