'Der Adler', April 1941

[BrodieBartfast]

Hello folks.

Another copy of 'Der Adler' magazine, this one dated 29th April 1941, and covering the Invasion of Yugoslavia. This one also has the benefit of being complete, with all pages present and unmolested.
Many photographs and artists impressions concerning the campaign in Yugoslavia, including the bombing of Belgrade, as well as an article covering the North African Campaign. Also of interest is an article covering Bulgarian pilots.
A heavy emphasis of the use of the Stuka in this issue, compounding its role as a psychological weapon. The covers of these magazines always jump out at you. This one more than others. I may look into getting these magazines professionally framed.

Regards, B.B.

Was especially pleased with this one. The Stuka is my favourite WWII-era aircraft.

And now, thanks to Hollywood, everyone associates that distinctive siren with any plane going into a dive.

It’s pretty convenient to have all issues in one cover. Here is the complete 1941 yearbook.
