IMPORTANT NOTE
:  Most Collector Grade Publications titles have gone OUT OF PRINT....with NO REPRINTS planned.  Received notice 8/21 from the publisher - that with the passing of owner Blake Stevens in 2018 - they are in-fact closing their doors for good by year end 2021.  Their many titles (almost 80) were arguably among THE FINEST GUN BOOKS PUBLISHED IN THE WORLD - the companies motto.  Truely sad to see this company close and all their books go out of print.  Blake Stevens - you are missed.  I started selling your books in 1983 - just a year or two after Collector Grade published their first title - "The Black Rifle".  Almost 20% of my annual sales $$$'s were Collector Grade Pubs titles.  Sold over 5,000 Collector Grade books in my 38+ years in business. END OF A ERA.  Vintgage arms collectors / military small arms owners/historians, etc. - if you are interested in ANY Collector Grade Publications title or titles (in or out of print) - I strongly suggest that you purchase soon - especially while they still are available.  Soon all that will be available will be USED books in various states of "condition" at substantial mark-ups over original cover prices.

EXPANDED REVISED EDITION, 2017
720 pages, 514 illustrations
The first edition of this classic work appeared in 2004, and has long been out of print. The author, a prizewinning military historian, has continued his research in the military archives of Germany and elsewhere and we now present this expanded, revised edition, which contains the most complete and authoritative account ever published of the intermediate calibre assault rifle and the revolutionary 7.92x33mm
kurz
cartridge.
It has been said that Adolf Hitler was the greatest general the Allies had during WWII, and several examples of his fatefully bungled tactical decisions are discussed. None was perhaps more significant than his refusal on three separate occasions to sanction the development and adoption of the intermediate calibre assault rifle as the general issue weapon of the
Wehrmacht
. Its acceptance and fielding proved to be a long, tortuous and never fully completed process and, as a measure of the complexity of the story, in all of German small arms history, no weapon was renamed so often within such a short period of time.
The
Sturmgewehr
44 (assault rifle 44) to give it its ultimate name, was belatedly approved by Hitler in October, 1944, after his earlier rejections had delayed the programme for a full year, and by the time he changed his mind a general rearming was out of the question. Nevertheless, the
Sturmgewehr
was by far the most important and influential small arm and cartridge development of the war. Fully indexed.
