@JHhilip I found on Ebay but only in French.. Do these also exist in other languages ? French is not really my strongest .

Hello,
Early issues of the magazine were also published in english but in my opinion they stopped before these issues.
With such a first name, you should be able to speak french (joking) my friend
Considering the price asked for these two issues of the magazine, to buy them even if you don't understand french, should not a be a problem. With all tools available nowadays for translations, it wouldn't take long for you to understand texts and photos captions.

(To me, the text in the issue # 295 about the Marschstiefel is the best text i ever wrote on german WWII military stuff. I usually don't like to say this kind of things, but if catching the true essence of the german Marschstiefel can be done, i did it with this text.)
Thanks

IIRC only issues 1-20 ( or 25 ? ) were issued also in English. IMO Militaria Magazine ( originally Armes et Militaria ) are an excellent resource. My French is very basic indeed but able to cope with the articles which are not too 'wordy'. The photographs are always superb.

I have quite a few of the Militaria Magazines in French and can read very little French. However the ‘Translator App’ which is free to download is your friend.
