In August 1914, the mobilization of the German Empire's 800,000-strong army ushered in the first major war of the modern era. Between 1915 and 1917, the German Empire had to adapt to a new form of trench warfare. Pre-war uniforms and equipment required modification for battlefields dominated by machine guns and artillery, while elegant cavalry regiments proved entirely unsuited to the Western Front. This volume details the organization, uniforms, and rank insignia, illustrated with rare photographs and meticulous, highly detailed drawings.
