This is a very nice, lightly used example of the rare book FLAK VOR! With Our Panzers from the Bug River to the Very Gate of Moscow by Gerhard Kirsch and Joachim Schulz-Werner as published by Wilhelm Limpert Verlag of Berlin in 1943.

Following a Foreword by Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring and an Introduction by General der Flakwaffe von Axthelm this 388 page book covers every aspect of the campaign of Luftwaffe Flak troops in support of Nazi Panzer units on their way to Moscow during World War II.
There is an excellent text, but this 7-1/2 x 10 inch book is especially noteworthy for the many, many big full-page black & white and color photographs made during the campaign. They cover everything from the 88 mm holes that stopped a 52-ton Russian tank on its tracks to the difficulties of transportation in the Soviet Union even in the best of weather.

There are lots of photos of men and equipment, the description wrought by Flak troops, captured prisoners and equipment, bridging, repair work, etc., etc. For our money it is easily the best period book on the subject.
