Suggestions for Best WWII firearms references for American and German (maybe Russian) firearms

I am not a big reader, so I am looking more for some reference material and less of a regular book. I want to start getting into collecting the firearms of WW2. I quickly get lost when trying to determine why one item is $800, and another is $5,000 that otherwise look identical. That's what I am really after. What details on various models make it more valuable. Like the flaming bomb cartouche, or straw finished Luger. Those types of details, but in-depth. I have been collecting for a long time, just not military arms. So, I know condition, production numbers, etc. are important.


If individual books are better than overarching one might be, here's where I am starting if the right ones come up:

Luger P08, M1A1, Garand, M1 carbine, Walther P.38

Fanatic collector of the 10mm auto.
