Kriegsmarine insignia reference book.

[Ylang]

Im looking for a book about Kriegsmarine, a compedium about their insignia, that they were wearing on their uniforms [all of their variants, or at least combat ones].

Im interested in their ranks, not just names and symbols, because this can be found in the internet, but the overall structure. Ranks, and everything that applies to them. Corps insignia, specialist branches.

Simply, who, when, what, why, etc..

I have already asked, here and there... but at the moment, I received 1 reply.

I added an attachements, to show you what I mean, but its just a glipse, of what I need.

There are plenty of books, but I cant risk buying them abroad, just to check if they are what I need, and then send them back.

Please, help.

I rather have a book in English, as I can barely understand any Deutsch.

Maybe you can take a look at militariafachbuch.com.
It's a German website that also offers a lot of reference books in English.

"Die Kriegsmarine. Uniforms and Traditions" by Schlicht & Angolia is a classic.

I have the German 1-volume edition of this one as well as those of the Heer and Luftwaffe titles from the same series and use them a lot.
