Panzer helfen Dir! 1944 - booklet

[KrikoT]

Hi Guys,

I've bought this booklet couple of months ago. What do you think about? Can it be original booklet? I've seen lots of new print on the internet, but those are much worse condition. I'm not sure but the red color (on the front cover) has to be like that, not follow the draft.
Unfortunately the back cover is missing.

Thank you!

I like it, purely for the interest, although I wouldn't like to say 100% if its original or not, as I am certainly no expert in these, it certainly looks like it has age to it.

Yes, the date is 15/09/1944. And very interesting because the Tiger 2 has Porsche turret.

Very interesting, I've never seen anything like that. But it does look like it might be a genuine publication for education of Panzer support troops into tactics and recognition.

Looks fine.

If I were offered this piece, I can see no reason to think that it was not authentic and of the era. It's an interesting little booklet. The missing rear cover does hurt it's value considerably,though. And, yes-the red color does, indeed, belong there.

The official name of this booklet is "Merkblatt 18b/38", like written on the cover. It has the same "Fibel style" like the Wehrmacht Tigerfibel. The aim was to show soldiers fighting strategies by using a humorous and casual way. There are some repros on the market, but the shown item is from WW2.
