I've posted on my blog a review of the book 'Holland Paraat – Equipment of the Dutch Army 1939-1940' by by Jan Giesbers, Rob Tas and Antal Giesbers.
The picture book describes the weapons, vehicles, and the organisational structure of the Dutch army during WW2.
The text, written in both Dutch and English, starts with a brief summary of the short-lasting fighting in 1940, and a brief overview of the Dutch army organisation.
Besides the many pics of normal weaponry, transport, armoured cars and artillery you'd expect to see in such a book, it also includes photos of some rather unusual and obscure subjects, such as an ice-cutting truck, cycling bands, searchlight lorries, and semaphore communications equipment.
