“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
"The Collector’s Guide to Cloth Third Reich Military Headgear" by Gary Wilkins came out in 2002.
It was revolutionary in that it focused on specific makers and their respective manufacturing techniques. (There was supposed to be a Vol.2, but Gary got burn-out writing Vol 1).
Another indispensible book:
“Show me the regulation, and I’ll show you the exception.”
"Au Service du Troisieme Reich" came out in 2007.
It is a medium sized book (with all text in French).
All photos are in color, and are supported by period photos (a lot of which I had not seen before).
It is nicely done from a graphic-design perspective.
