Defending the Reich.

2007 ' Defending the Reich ' by David Littlejohn. Another of the superb Bender references, 680pgs giving a history of the air war over the Reich, year by year, and then introduces the active ground defences (flak, radar, searchlights, etc.). The picture is completed with his coverage of Germany's civil defence structure which included the Luftschutz, TeNo, Police and Fire Services, Werkfeuerwehr, Luftschutzpolizei, Fire Services (Youth), etc. All of the above organizations are richly illustrated in colour and period photos, and the book shows everything these organisations wore and used (uniforms, rank and specialty insignia, daggers, flags, medals, helmets). Good, used condition
with a one page binding flaw, otherwise clean.
