WW2 Kriegsmarine Flakartillerie lot
Von der Nordsee zum Atlantik (From the Nortsea to the Atlantic Ocean)
Over the years we have occasionally encountered some of the pieces that make up this Kriegsmarine Flakartillerie folio separately at very high prices, but never complete as issued. The lot consists of an art folio complete with its 12 beautiful color prints dated July 1941, a hard cover book dated July 1942, and a roster of the men of Flakartillerie Batterie 3, complete with their names, ranks and home addresses!

The 9 x 11-3/4 inch art folio is called Von der Nordsee zum Atlantik (From the Northsea to the Atlantic Ocean). It is complete with its 12 illustratons by Willy Hanke (approved by the OKW on 2 September 1941) and was printed by H.M. Hauschild in Bremen. It was presented at Christmas 1941. The 8-page insert in the folio was especially produced as a 1941 War Christmas commemorative for "all the soldiers of the 3rd Battery in memory of the serious hours on the Atlantic Coast". It contains a history of unit operations from 1940 through 1941 as well as a complete name, rank and home address list of the officers and men of the unit!
