This video reviews the "Vickers Guide - WWII Germany, Volume 2" book, a coffee-table style publication focusing on German semi-automatic and select-fire rifles, machine guns, and last-ditch arms from WWII. It also covers presentation pistols. The reviewer highlights the book's exceptional photography and mentions their own contribution as an author. Specific rare firearms noted include various FG-42 patterns, a Grossfuss StG, an StG45(H), MG-30, MKb42(W), and a folding-stock G33/40. The book is presented as a visually appealing and informative resource for enthusiasts of German WWII small arms, rather than a strict reference manual.
