Below are the covers of some books and publications that I have authored and self-published or translated for Zeughaus Verlag (Arsenal Publishing), Berlin, and one produced in conjunction with the KLIO Baden Württemberg (e.V.) club in Stuttgart. I think they should be of use to collectors for information on uniforms, clothing, armor, weapons and other equipment, not to mention information about the campaigns and actions of these armies. Check out the Zeughaus Verlag's website for more information.

This book on Hans Mueller’s medieval and Saracen/Ottoman flat figures came out in print in in German late March 2021 in German and it was published in English in July 2021. The German edition is out of print, but copies do occasionally become available. People who order either edition can have it mailed directly to them upon payment. Due to printing and mailing costs, the quantity of books published has been limited and scaled to the number of pre-orders.
The German language publication is 180 pages, DIN A4 (8¼ x 11¾ in.), softcover; the English language edition is hardcover. Both editions contain over 600 illustrations including color photos of all of Hans Mueller’s medieval, Saracen and Ottoman figures that have been painted by nearly 40 collectors from Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Sweden and the U.S in the German volume, while the English edition adds figures by contributing collectors from Belgium, France, Germany and Russia.
Each version also contains all of the additional, attachable flags for the 1410 Battle of Tannenberg/Grunwald that Mueller produced. All 460-plus figures are presented in their original 30mm scale, many depicting both sides. Additionally, the photo montages depicting all of the unpainted figures and the tables describing them, which appeared the Nov 2019-Jun 2020 articles in the Die Zinnfigur magazine have been updated, have English descriptions and other additional information. The publications also have chapters written by Gernot Schlager, Henry Schmidt und Hans Schwahn – experts on the development of medieval armor and the Mueller figures. The German edition has an English language synopsis for those who cannot read German. The English edition has expanded the information about and images of the various sources Mueller used for the designs of his figures. Additionally, Mr. Wolfgang Büche and Dr. Thomas Brümmer have contributed in depth information about the banners for the Tannenberg figures.
Purchasers of the German edition could also request an English “companion” document which translates all of the texts and the substantive parts of the captions. It is free and will be emailed as a “pdf” file upon request. The new English edition contains corrections to the "companion" document plus many more photos and newly acquired information.
This book is a valuable reference work for every collector and provides a unique view of some of the most beautiful flats ever produced, and then painted by, impressive artists.
Please note that the German version is now out of print, but Rick may be able to assist buyers by matching them with someone wanting to switch to the English edition and sell their German copy.
