Thanks to more than ten years' researching and analysing military archives, pictures and equipment, the author reviews all the uniforms, equipment and weapons used by the infantrymen, in the continental and Scandinavian theatres of operations. The items are shown in colour with all the details needed for clear identification. Because of the unequalled range and the variety of the items presented, this work is a must for all French 1940 memorabilia collectors, but also for those who are interested in World War I equipment because of the number of items inherited from this period and the very complete and detailed way the tools, the harnesses, the small items of equipment and the collective weapons are presented.
