The Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung was the weekly photo newspaper published in Berlin by Deutscher Verlag, but read by just about everybody in the capital of Nazi Germany.
Each 10 x 14 inch issue contained about 12 - 16 pages of the very latest news, photographs and information gathered from around the world including plenty from the United States and England.

The excellent paper was published every week and sold for only 20 Reichspfennigs, the equivalent of 12 US cents. The issues offered here are all the issues for the extremely historic year of 1942 (January through December) in a big, heavy hard cover book-like binding. Because they were bound like a hard cover book all the issues are still in excellent condition.

Naturally, Nazi Party Führer and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler is prominently featured in virtually every issue, seen in his role as leader of the government, but also in the field with the men of the Wehrmacht in his role as Chief of the Armed Forces.
