Verlag Die Wehrmacht in Berlin published this wonderful book called Zum Endkampf gestellt! about the battle of Luftwaffe forces against England and its Navy in 1940. This is a First Edition 6-¼ x 8-¼ inch, 88-page soft cover book from 1940 full of color and black & white action photos (some by the Associated Press), maps and great illustrations by famous war illustrator Theo Matejko who was also responsible for the cover art.

The photos are great and give a real inside view of Luftwaffe pilot life with plenty of uniform and airplane details: Heinkel and Focke-Wulf airplanes on Luftwaffe air bases in Germany and Norway, Fallschirmjäger or paratroopers jumping out of Luftwaffe airplanes and smoking after capturing Eben Emael, Werner Mölders surrounded by attentive fellow pilots, pilot gear, bombing raids and post-attack destruction, airplane repair, loading ammunition, Stukas, communication troops, Luftwaffe pilot training, etc.

A wonderful Third Reich book full of action, in very good used condition.
