The book is illustrated with 32 colour pages presenting various paintings patterns, as well as with drawings and photographs of Waffen-SS combat vehicles (used by Waffen-SS and police units) in the years 1939-1945. " It is a supplement to the first publication on this issue (Militaria No. 180), devoted to the period 1938-1942.
