Often imitated, never duplicated.
For more than 15 years, Militaria Magazine has been the leading military collectibles magazine in the world. Militaria Magazine is a full color, 68-page monthly which has never been equalled. Every month collectors, military history buffs and modellers discover exacting detail about the troops from WW1 and WW2, and in full color.
With more than 200 issues released so far, Militaria has dealt with literally thousands of topics, with more still to come.
This website will enable you to explore this month's issue and the last ten, as well as the index of all published articles.
Generally speaking, militaria covers every type of military collectable. Militaria Magazine itself focuses on the soldiers of both world wars. Thanks to its popular format, layout and full color photography, Militaria Magazine is able to describe the troops (Army, Navy and Air Forces) in great detail. Militaria Magazine includes many close up shots of uniforms, equipment, insignia, and small kit. Articles also deal with such areas as personal papers, badges, headgear, knives, or AFV's, thus reflecting the main interests of the readers.
From time to time special issues focus on a popular topic. In the past these have covered the French Infantrymen of WW1 and WW2, soldiers of D-Day, American, British and Canadian paratroops, and the Hitlerjugend Division in Normandy.
The articles are expertly written by collectors, and lavishly illustrated with color photos of authentic artifacts, as well as carefully selected period pictures, in order to place each item in its historical perspective. This approach to collecting enables beginners, as well as advanced collectors, to learn more about their hobby.
MM benefits from a large array of contributors from France, Belgium, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Poland, The United States, Canada, Spain, and Brazil. While the main focus of the magazine is on the major powers, the uniforms of smaller, but no less important armies, have been featured in its pages.
But I don't read French!
Although Militaria Magazine is written in French, we boast hundreds of enthusiastic subscribers around the globe who can't read French either. They have found that you don't need to read the text to understand the color photos.
Not only do we publish great articles, but we provide a forum for military collectors around the world through the following columns:
  • A monthly calendar of gun shows and militaria fairs in France and Belgium. More than 30 events take place every week-end.
  • An Identifications column in which readers and our authors help each other identify mysterious objects in their collections.
  • A reader's column with valuable comments on previous issues.
  • A clubs and associations column, for up to date information on gatherings, events and reenactments.
  • And more than 200 Classified Ads every month, with hundreds of military collectibles for sale by collectors, as well as regular advertising from militaria dealers from around the world.
France played a major role in both world wars, so it is no mystery why collecting militaria is such a popular hobby here. This is why MM has been, and will continue, to be the most important publication for military collectors in the world.

We invite you to browse the Militaria website, and to discover the other magazines and books published by Histoire & Collections.
As we expand our internet presence we hope to bring more services on line such as an index of articles. All suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for your interest, happy collecting!
