Each catagory of pre-1914 uniform includes a historical overview, photographs of actual examples, period photographs, plus charts of every pre-1914 Regiment with uniform details for each unit. This index will guide you to individual pages for each catagory of Imperial German uniform. This tradition stemmed from the necessity of dressing particular regiments and troops in colors, which would allow commanders to recognize their troops on the battlefield from a distance.
