Great photos

Interesting book by a former east german who focuses on baltic, german and russian museums for photographs and gets pictures different from the usual american and english sources and has many unusual items. As an artillery junkie, I enjoyed it immensely. He has two other books out in German, one on field and fortress artillery which I have seen and looks very interesting and another on 500 years of field, antitank and antiaircraft artillery (my very rough translation) which I have not seen, but which will hopefully be translated soon. (However, I note that they have recently released in Germany all three volumes of Kosar in German, but no English translation seems forthcoming.)
