This is a very nice example of the rare 7-5/8 x 10-1/2 inch, 120 or so page (unnumbered) very heavily illustrated softcover book Das Gesicht des deutschen Soldaten (The Faces of German Soldiers) as published by Zeitgeschichte Verlag in Berlin (the same publisher that published the Heinrich Hoffmann Nazi photo books) for the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) in 1943.
There are plenty of pictures of Wehrmacht troops in full combat gear, from ordinary Landsers and their Officers to Knights Cross winners, battalion commanders, Generals, Panzer troops, Afrikakorps men, Gebirgsjäger, SS troopers, sailors, Fallschirmjäger, U-Boot men, pilots, fliers, etc.
This is by far the best book of its type published in Germany during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler. It belongs in the library of anyone who collects Heinrich Hoffmann photo books.

This 76+ year old First Edition example of Das Gesicht des deutschen Soldaten is complete and in very good used condition.  No odor.  A previous owner laminated the original 1943 dust jacket to preserve it.  There is a small, handwritten dedication on the front flyleaf.
