What Is A Good WWII reference book?

Question

I'm doing some research on a book I'm writing and I need a good book of WWII facts. I don't really need battle data, but more so facts on uniforms, weapons, military jargon/slang... more day-to-day type stuff. Anyone have any ideas?

The Second World War by Martin Gilbert. Very good book.
