Folks,

For those interested in more arcane material, the two following volumes detail the equipment of the Dutch forces early in WWII.
Authors: Jan Giesbers, Rob Tas, Antal Giesbers
Holland Paraat! 1. It covers the equipment of the Dutch Field Army minus the armour

Holland Paraat! 2. It covers the armour as well as the colonial and naval infantry.

So far, I have only found distributors in Europe for these books. The first volume is however available in PDF at the following address (beware, it is a large file, close to 30MB)
