I think Hiscolls had a set of 12 or so awhile back, I was sorely tempted!

Practicing my German,

Der Fuhrer und die Wehrmact = The Fuhrer and the Army?

[HPL2008]

Der Fuhrer und die Wehrmact = The Fuhrer and the Army?

Almost: "The Führer and the Armed Forces" would be the accurate translation.

(The collective designation Wehrmacht included the Army [Heer], Air Force [Luftwaffe] and Navy [Kriegsmarine].)

[winterhilfswerk Book]

This was 1 piece in a series of 5 'mini books' produced and sold by the Winterhilfswerk during the National Street Collecting Drive on the 16th & 17th of October 1937. The 5 different pieces are as follows: (Catalog #'s are from our book)

37-17: In den Bergen (In the mountains)
37-18: Und die Bewegung (And the movement)
37-19: Und die Wehrmacht (And the Armed Forces)
37-20: Und der Arbeiter (And the workers)
37-21: Und die Jugend (And the youth)

We have all of the available (5 total...4 WHW & 1 DRK) sets available on our website for much less than you will find anywhere else. Take a look!
