The book is comprised almost entirely of photographs of soldiers and their equipment. These are generally presented in either half- or full-page formats on glossy stock paper. Most appear to have been taken by the soldiers themselves, and depict typical scenes of camp life or portraits of vehicles or artillery. Many of these subjects are informative or inspirational for the diorama maker. There is a brief eight-page color section which shows examples of uniform items, weapons, and equipment. An odd inclusion are single pages on the Red, British, and French Armies which show their gear. These are offered without explanation, and while they do make for interesting comparisons to the German Army gear they are out of place given the contents of the rest of the book.
