At the West Point Museum I use a World War II era Defense Department
publication that is still available, Handbook on German Military Forces, 15
March 1945.  I'll check with our History Curator and see what kind of
bibliography he recommends, but I'd start with that one.  It covers
everything from weapons to vehicles to uniforms and insignia.  I got mine
from an online source for about 40 dollars if I remember correctly.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Suggestions for Reference Books, please!

Good Day,

We've having to name and describe a fair amount of German and Nazi objects 
and the guides we have are not adequate in some instances. Sometimes we can 
find reputable information on-line, but other times we are completely 
stumped and none of our resources are helpful.

Can anyone suggest reference books, that you have used or found reputable, 
on Nazi--Third Reich insignia, awards, and other Militaria? Any 
recommendations are appreciated.

Thank you,
