Luftwaffe Nordwärts (Luftwaffe Northwards) is a 5-¾ x 8-¾ ich, 112-page hard cover Third Reich book by Kriegsberichter or war correspondent Hans Wamper about Luftwaffe combat and transport fliers, paratroopers and mountain troops in Norway. It was published by Franz Müller Verlag of Dresden and printed in Nazi occupied Holland in 1943.

Printed by order of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) Luftwaffe Nordwärts covers what the Nazis describe as the "Largest Air Operation of All Times" in April 1940. It starts with a map of Norway, what lead to the attack on Norway, and then covers the transporting of combat troops, medical equipment and ammunition to Norway, Fallschirmjäger in action at Narvik and taking over Norwegian military airports, specially trained Gebirgsjäger, defending and outfitting new positions, setting up FLAK and machine gun positions, and even a speech by Air Minister Hermann Göring, thanking his Luftwaffe for the important victory.

There are action photos of Fallschirmjäger and Gebirgsjäger, Luftwaffe pilots in He111, FLAK positions, preparing ammunition for flight, ground crews at work on He111 planes, battle damage inflicted by Luftwaffe attacks, Wehrmacht troops with bicycles and even the Wehrmacht Musikkapelle (Wehrmacht band members with their instruments) boarding a Luftwaffe plane heading for Oslo!

A wonderful insight into the start of World War II in Norway. Good used condition.
