This volume is dedicated to the millions of small arms that were captured by the German army in more than 12 different countries. Most weapons were re-issued to the German army, para-military units and auxiliaries and they were often used in their original state, but sometimes modified to German standards, or re-purposed to improve the weapons being fought with by the army. Such captures often led to new and adapted technologies, as the weapon developers took the best of the ideas from others and enhanced them with their own.This book covers all small arms described in the 'Kennblätter fremden Geräts' (instruction sheets on foreign material) and many other weapons.Last but not least, Captured Arms \/ Beutewaffen features a unique selection of original German World War II propaganda photos, depicting captured arms in use in German service.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739530338577,"sku":"NGR9789078521068","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9078521066.jpg?v=1751445839"},{"product_id":"mp38-40-40-1-and-41-submachinegun-book-guus-de-vries-9789080558328","title":"The Mp38, 40, 40\/1 and 41 Submachinegun","description":"The second volume of the Propaganda Photo Series, a unique series of books on World War II small arms.

This book is the first detailed publication on the famous submachinegun that (under his incorrect nickname\"Schmeisser\") became a symbol of the Blitzkrieg as the favourite small arm of armoured units and parachutists. But despite its fame, reliable information was until now very scarce. In this book, the history and development of the MP38, MP40 and MP41 are described for the first time. Moreover, several prototypes and rare variants are depicted, including the MP38(L) and the MP40\/1 with dual feed system.
