This is a rare, complete Nazi art folio with 34 8-¼ x 11-¾ inch Third Reich art prints of the victorious Luftwaffe in action over Poland, Norway, the English Channel, London, Dunkirk, Paris and the Maginot Line. It is called Warschau - Paris - London, Eine Bildmappe vom Einsatz unserer Luftwaffe (Warsaw - Paris - London, a Picture Folio of our Luftwaffe in Action). It was produced by Verlag Erich Klinghammer of Berlin, and while it is undated but we suspect the publishing date had to be late 1940 or early 1941.

The beautiful prints show Warsaw and Modlin under attack, Stukas bombing British Navy ships at Narvik, Nazi paratroopers over Narvik, air battles over the English Channel, destroyed oil tanks in France, Luftwaffe planes attacking Dunkirk and the Maginot Line, the Luftwaffe above Paris and London, Luftwaffe ground personnel, Flak, etc.

All prints and photos measure 8-¼ x 11-¾ inches and are in excellent condition. The folio comes with one extra print not mentioned in the index on the back of the folio. It is another Adolf Bock illustration (shown right) with a Weihnachten or Christmas message dated 1940.

It is rare to find this Luftwaffe Bildmappe complete with all pictures and prints. Most people who owned this 75+ year old folio framed one or more prints, or pinned them to an office wall during World War II. In very nice condition, no odor. Small portion of the upper right front cover is torn off.

The folio contains 18 illustrations by well-known German painter Adolf Bock and 16 photos on glossy art paper. One photo shows Adolf Hitler on 1 September 1939 addressing Parliament and announcing the start of the invasion of Poland, one shows Nazi Air Minister Hermann Göring looking at maps in the field surrounded by high ranking Luftwaffe Officers and the others are photographs by PK-Männer or war photographers close to the action.
