Original U.S. WWII Enemy Technical Manuals For German Military Forces and Japanese Military Forces - 2 Handbooks

Item Description

Original Items: Only One Group Of 2 Available. U.S. Army Technical Manuals, commonly known as 'Army manuals,' are part of a series of official U.S. military manual publications intended to be instructive and informative for all branches of the military.

Army manuals also included a number of so-called "enemy" manuals. These are manuals, which are official U.S. Army publications concerning enemy equipment or forces. The letter E in the manual number indicates that a particular manual is an enemy manual. For example, Technical Manual TM E9-803 on the German Volkswagen appears just after Technical Manual TM 9-803 on the Jeep. A number of enemy manuals about foreign forces are included, like the TM E30-420 Handbook of the Italian Military Forces.

The two Technical Manuals Included:
- TM-E 30-451 Handbook On German Military Forces 1945: “This book was published to provide a permanent comprehensive manual on the German Armed Forces. For the most part material in this handbook is based on information available up to 15 February 1945.” The book has chapters for the German Military system, organization of field forces, other military and auxiliary organizations, tactics, fortifications and defenses, supply, evacuation and movements, weapons, equipment, uniforms, insignia and individual equipment and the German Air Force.

- TM-E 30-480 Handbook On Japanese Military Forces 1944: “Handbook on Japanese Military Forces,is published for the information and guidance of all concerned.” This handbook is a rather comprehensive breakdown of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces. The chapters are for recruitment and training, Japanese military system, field organizations, Japanese Air Service, special forces, military police, tactics, supply, movements and evacuations, weapons, equipment, uniforms, personal equipment and insignia, conventional signs and abbreviations and military terms and characters.

Both handbooks are in great condition, but show definite signs of use and wear, which is expected with technical manuals!

Both come ready to read and display!
