Coinguy89 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 A great all around reference is "East Germany a country study." I was able to find the 1988 edition at my branch library in the stack. I don't know if I can find one online but I will start searching. The book is great for an overview reference and has many chapters, a whole section of the book dedicated to "national defense" with all of the armed forces, border guard, and such. It contains mostly text with quite a good number of b/w photography. In addition, there's an extensive bibliography in the back which I'm sure will point to many more sources. Obviously it is English text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Now THAT should be put on a CD or reprinted! Really great reference!!!!I'd love to see the next volumes-Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary etc.-maybe even Ethiopia and Cuba? (Not part of the Pact, but allied-one can hope....)

Gordon Craig Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Gents,Here are some DDR reference books from my library. When I find time I'll post more. I'll only comment on the book if there is something specific to say about it. If it is pictured here I beleive it is worth having in your library. All of these books came from Germany.

Gordon Craig Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) #2, This is a three book set and for the life on me I can not think of a good reason why I only brought volume three with me except that it contains DDR stuff!

Gordon Craig Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 #3 These small calendars contain some good rank charts and some colour pictures of Warsaw Pact stuff.The 1990 issue is the most common. I don't own any other years so can not comment on them as being useful or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) #8 The author of this book planned on doing a whole series on different subjects. This one didn't sell well so no more were produced. The reason they didn't sell was probably because of the size. It is a very small book for a reference one. Bring money of you want to buy one of these, if you can find one. Edited April 26, 2007 by Gordon Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
