'The German Army in Pictures' January, 1941

[BrodieBartfast]

Hello folks.

First 'new item' post in a while, this one being nothing particularly rare or spectacular. Another addition to my small collection of British training manuals, this one titled 'The German Army in Pictures'. This training booklet was intended to familiarize the British soldier with the uniforms, weapons, and vehicles of the German armed forces. Apparently assembled from captured German material, it is fairly comprehensive, though I have not posted all of the pages here.

Thats a nice manual, I have seen and own many, but they rarely have many photos.
Nice find.

I assumed this would be the usual case, a lot of words with few photos. The entire manual is made up of photographs, which makes a nice change. The only downside to this one is the condition of the staples.

Yes, they can be a problem, it looks well leafed through.
But I like it.

It's already helped me memorize the difference between a Panzer III and Panzer IV, which is something I struggled to remember previously. Over 70 years later, and still doing its job!
