This illustrated reference work presents a detailed catalogue of military badges and insignia used by the major Allied and Axis powers during World War II. Guido Rosignoli documents the emblems of seven nations—U.S.A., Great Britain, Poland, Belgium, Italy, U.S.S.R., and Germany—arguing that these symbols reflect not only military hierarchy but also national identity and wartime ideology. The book instructs readers in the visual language of rank, regiment, and specialization, supported by hundreds of precise drawings and annotations. It chronicles the evolution of insignia across branches such as infantry, armor, air force, and medical corps. Rosignoli illustrates how design and symbolism were deployed to unify, distinguish, and inspire troops across divergent cultures and campaigns.
