The first volume of the Propaganda Photo Series, a unique series of books on World War II small arms. Each volume covers all essential information on history & development, ammunition & accessories, codes & markings and contains photos of nearly every model and accessory.
The most important quality of the Propaganda Photo Series however, is a unique selection of original German World War II propaganda photos, most never published before. The combination of solid information and original photos makes the Propaganda Photo Series the most extensive and reliable source of German small arms "in-use", depicting the weapons and equipment as they were actually used.
This book describes and depicts the K98K rifle, the "workhorse" and most important small arm of the German armed forces during World War II. It contains a detailed description of the history, use and accessories of this rifle, but also covers the sniper rifles, rare variants and special accessories as the curved barrel device and the silencers.

The K98k Rifle is het eerste deel van de engelstalige Propaganda Photo Series. Elk deel van deze serie beschrijft de geschiedenis, de techniek en het toebehoren van een Duits draagbaar wapen uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De serie wordt gekenmerkt door een bijzondere selectie van originele Duitse propagandafoto's (voor het grootste deel nooit eerder gepubliceerd), die het wapen in het dagelijks gebruik tonen. Dit deel gaat over de beroemde Mauser K98k, het wapen dat ook wel de 'ruggegraat' van het Duitse leger werd genoemd.
