DIE WEHRMACHT MAGAZINE - ENTIRE FIRST YEAR!

,Die Wehrmacht’’ (The Armed Forces) magazines

THE COMPLETE FIRST YEAR OF
PUBLICATION OF THE NAZI
MILITARY MAGAZINE
,,DIE WEHRMACHT’’
BOUND IN HARDCOVERS
AS A BOOK

The magazine ,,Die Wehrmacht’’ (The Armed Forces) is without question the most reliable authority on matters related to the Armed Forces of the Third Reich Germany of Adolf Hitler. After the Nazis demanded and won the allegiance of the Junkers and the military, the conversion of the Armed Forces by the NSDAP began in earnest.

New helmets, uniforms, weapons and heavy equipment began to flow to the armed services in a never-ending stream. Committed professionals displaced old-timers in the military and the people of Germany were told to take pride in their army. They reclaimed the Saar and the Ruhr and simply discarded the nonsense imposed on them by the Treaties of Versailles and St. Germain

On 6 November 1936 the first issue of a new 9-3/4 x 13-1/2 inch, 48 page very heavily illustrated, twice-monthly professional military services magazine called ,,Die Wehrmacht’’ (The Armed Forces) appeared in Germany. Anything and everything that pertained to or impacted the military in Nazi Germany was reported and shown on the pages of ,,Die Wehrmacht’’. It published the official government position on all matters military.

We offer here the FIRST 28 very, very rare issues of the magazine ,,Die Wehrmacht’’ (issues 1 though 6 from 1936 and all issues for 1937) bound together as a 10-1/4 x 14 inch hardcover book. Naturally, the fact that these issues were professionally bound when they were new has done much to preserve them over the following 69+ years. The pages and the book are all in very good condition.

Among the subjects shown and discussed in articles in these 28 issues of ,,Die Wehrmacht’’ are German Army Recruits, Flak Troops, the Kriegsmarine Cruiser Emden, Italian Military Vehicles, Panzer Equipment, Cooking for the German Soldier, the Bulgarian Army, a Soldier’s Christmas, German Off-Road Military Vehicles, Gebirgsjäger or Mountain Troops, Cavalry School, Dangers Associated with Flying, Motorizing the German Army, Soldier Kitsch, Hitler’s Yacht the Aviso ,,Grille’’, Finland’s Army,...

... Tank Battles, Garde Grenadier Regiment 1, Manfred von Richthofen and his Comrades, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the Negro Army of France (“5 Million Bayonets”), German Riders, Submarine U-31, the Maginot Line, the Avus Race Course 1937, Japan’s Army, Suez Canal, Making of an Automatic [Walther] Pistol, Berlin, the Zeughaus Armory Museum, 1937 Maneuvers, Reichsparteitag, Tannenberg Memorial, the Führer and Il Duce, International Hunting Exhibition in Berlin, the Military War Game ,,Wehr-Schach’’, Regiment General Göring, the Russian Threat to Europe, the Navy, etc., etc.

,,Die Wehrmacht’’ was sold by subscription and on news stands throughout Germany. It was also supported heavily by advertisers who felt there was a connection between their products and members of the German Armed Forces. Some of the advertisers in ,,Die Wehrmacht’’ were Auto-Union off-road vehicles, Walther, Auer, Erika, Rieker boots, Mauser, NSU, Opel, DKW, Bombe, Sauer und Sohn, Hanomag, Heinkel, Zeiss, Arado, Focke-Wulf, Olympia, Rheinmetall, Singer sewing machines, Hirth engines, Kodak, WMF, Scho-ka-kola, Adler and many others.
