Deutscher militärische Dienstauszeichnungen 1816 - 1941

For the first time in over 200 years, a comprehensive reference work, richly illustrated and entirely in color, is available on the subject of German military service awards. With the usual care and an easy-to-use system, the treatment of this previously neglected topic is impressive. All 35 German states are covered, featuring all 378 military service awards, represented by 1,234 color illustrations, including 497 variants and color ribbon illustrations at a 1:1 scale. Nimmergut is one of the few phaleristic authors who does not limit himself to the precise description from the foundation to the award. He is also interested in the social, sociological, and psychological backgrounds, which he skillfully links with the factual data. This perspective adds an additional dimension to the highly interesting topic. A book that deserves a prominent place!.
