Hey, I found a *great* book with so much reference material it's incredible. You've probably heard of it, it's called The World War 2 GI Uniforms 1941 to 1945 In Color Photographs by Richard Windrow and Tim Hawkins. I can not believe all the pictures and information in this book. The pictures in this thing are so good I got itchy from looking at the wool uniforms. It goes through all the different uniforms in all the different theaters from the helmets and the different linings inside the helmets, right down to the different boots. If you haven't seen it, please check it out, as it's great help for noobs like me who have no clue as to what i'm doing.
This is from the section Fall/Winter 1944:
Reversed OD field Jacket; EM's special wood trousers; EM's wool melton overcoat; M1943 field jacket. trousers and cap; M1941 wool toque' M1943 hood, oficers and EM's double texture raincoats; sweaters, long sleeved five button, sleeveless crew neck. long sleeved V neck. first. second and third pattern mackinaws; OD wool and leather gloves, trigger finger mittens; carbine magazine pockets; marching compass and pouch; M;1938 wire cutters; M1936 field bag musette; M1938 dispatch case. M1917 binocular case, SCR 300 radio, M3A1 45 Cal sub machine gun...
And that was all just 1 chapter.I also found another few books that I would also recommend:
The Armed Forces World War 2 Uniforms, Insignia and Organisation by Andrew Mollo
German Army Unfiroms and Insignia 1933 to 1945 by Brian Davis
Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces Uniforms and Insignia 1932 to 1945 by Gary Nila
Those have some good info as well. Hopefully these books will help me get my painting of the uniforms on my figures half way decent.
