"Heer Im Focus" is a new limited edition book  from Luftfahrtverlag-start, created by a group of well-known WWII German Army experts. The purpose of this series is to focus on the conflicts, vehicles, and machines that prior literature has ignored, as well as a dedication to the men who were there.
Similar to their "Luftwaffe Im Focus" and "U-Boot Im Focus" series,  the team of researchers get to the bottom of the topics they examine in a way that you cannot find anywhere else to bring you the best previously unpublished stories & photographs.
The books will feature Paratroopers, Air Force Field Divisions or Flak Units. For the illustration we use also on unique original Agfa Color Color slides back, which come from private collections. Recordings that have never been shown before and that make the events appear in a completely different light. 
Not only does this series offer a lot for historians and army enthusiasts, model builders also get their money's worth in view of the excellent model templates (profile drawings and B / W + color photos ). 
The authors look after model makers and diorama builders with histories on unique machines & the men that use them. In a different approach, this series shows us inspiring & esoteric subjects.
In each edition volume you will find approx. 60 to 80 unpublished recordings from private collections with detailed, bilingual information in German / English as well as articles on special army topics. 
Each volume uses categories from the following subjects:
• Tanks & AFV's of the German armed forces.
• Knight cross holders
• Motor vehicles the Wehrmacht
• "Photos with history" stories 
• Documents
• Unknown emblems
• Camouflage paints
• Focus on machines
• Sign forests
• Destinies
• Background
• Motorcycles
• Camouflage
• Scenery
• Propaganda companies
• Paratroopers
• Weapons
• Battle reports
The image material is printed in large format in the highest quality on art paper. A booklet for all historically interested and model builders.
The first book in this series is due in September through the Luftfahrtverlag-start website.
