Description
THE KAISER’S HUSSARS in WORLD WAR ONE.
This metal spiral-bound, soft cover book covers each element of the Hussar’s uniform, from his head covering to his trousers, for both the pre-Feldgrau and the Feldgrau. It then delivers a lengthy discourse about the 31 regiments that were activated in August 1914 (LGHR, 1.LHR to HR 20, and the ten Reserve Regiments). It discusses the regiment’s garrison, the specific uniforms for each regiment, and the regiment’s activities during the war. The author has found some firsthand descriptions of combat action, translated from German soldiers’ diaries and US Intelligence reports. It is illustrated with maps and numerous period photos, as well as many photos of the uniforms and busbies. The author finishes each regiment’s account by identifying the regiment into which it transitioned during WWII, thereby enabling the regiment’s tradition to continue.
259 Pages, Black and white and color photos, drawings and maps.
