The German Police study made by SHAEF and other more clandestine agencies shows clearly why the German Police was so different to their British and American counterparts. German Police covers the history of the German Police and particularly Himmler's involvement in initially the Gestapo and later with the secret organisations which were all included in the general term "Police".This detailed study examines Himmler's acolytes, the Higher SS Police Commanders, and the ever present SS involvement in internal security matters in the Third Reich. It also gives details of the regular police, as well as the more sinister Security Police (SiPo) and the Security Service (SD). Gestapo and Kripo are included.The volume is also important in that it contains nine uniform colour plates, sixteen black and white photographs and a very important colour section on official papers - identity documents for the regular police, the SS (including the SS pay book), the fire service and the Hitler Youth fire service, the SiPo, the SD, the Gestapo, the German standard ID card, Racial German ID cards and other important ID documents.

The 3-inch mortar was one of the most effective battalion weapons, used for medium and long range support and bombardment on the battlefield. It has served the British Army in various forms (it is now the 81mm Mortar) for many decades. It delivers a high explosive charge at high angle, allowing it to be effective against troops on the ground, troops in trenches, and to bring fire behind intervening obstacles such as buildings, trees and hills.The pamphlet gives full details of the weapon including the mounting, base plate and sights. The working stores are listed and there is a substantial examination of ammunition and fuses.Four plates show the weapon assembled, the mounting, the sights and the bomb.
