Sort by:          Product     Price      Default     see details Austrian Mountain Troops, History Uniforms & Equipment 1906 to 1918 This superb illustrated book shows the uniforms and equipment of Austrian mountain troops in the First World War. The illustrations give a vivid impression of the soldiers who defended Austria-Hungary’s borders in the high Alps. The Tyrolean Kaiserschützen and mountain regiments were among the bravest in the k.k army and made a decisive contribution towards the first high mountain war in world history. Nevertheless, it was only shortly before the outbreak of the First World War that the Danube Monarchy could bring herself to form specially trained mountain units. What tactics developed in mountain warfare. Mine warfare in the high mountains, fighting on glaciers and the development of cable car systems round off the book. For the first time the assets of the Tiroler Kaiserschützenmuseum in Innsbruck, which are not accessible to the public, were photographed for this book, supplemented by rare artefacts from private collections. 320pp. Over 1,000 colour illustrations & contempory b/w photos.

Provides the reader with an insight into the wide range of uniforms, weapons and field equipment used by the Imperial German Army during the First World War. The devastating and dramatic character of the war required many innovations in military clothing and equipment. New uniforms and adequate protection was a must, and steel helmets appeared on the battlefield, replacing the outdated spiked helmets. Even medieval-looking items, like steel breastplates and trench clubs, were produced, giving the soldiers a fearful appearance. The threat of poison gas caused the immediate development of gas masks. It was also the time of the tank, observation balloons, mine warfare, the Zeppelin, airplanes, flame-throwers, deadly machine guns, and other war machinery that saw service, sometimes for the first time.

Friedrich Ludwig Scharf took the middle road, painting the troops as they looked going about their daily duties. In his paintings the uniform historian and military modeler will find accurate and sometimes amusing representations of what Scharf actually saw. The ill-equipped Landsturmers with outdated uniforms, the Cavalry still mounted dashing about the Russian front, Flamethrower troops, ski troops and even a Franciscan monk in military service were captured in his watercolors and linoleum block hand-colored prints.
