DICTIONARY
DUDEN FRANÇAIS
|
|
| If you collect militaria or read history of the Nazi period and are familiar with the Große Duden Bildwörterbuch (Big Duden Illustrated Dictionary) of the Third Reich era, this item will be of interest to you! The “Duden” concept was pioneered by the Bibliografisches Institut AG of Leipzig and took the form of heavily illustrated right hand pages with comprehensive definitions in German on the opposite left hand page. |
|
|
|
 |
|
| The Duden we offer here is an excellent example of the rare 5 x 7-1/4 inch, 796 page, 1938 FRENCH edition containing thousands and thousands of individual illustrations like the ones shown here in our scans. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| The dictionary is divided into sections such as People & Home, Work & Professions, Free Time, Knowledge Research & Art, Belief, The State, Traffic, Lands & Peoples, Plants & Animals, etc. Each of the sections is subdivided into many sub-sections so that there is even a page on barbershops, for example. |
|
| The sort of information available only in an illustrated Duden makes it possible to find out the correct Third Reich FRENCH name for virtually any item. The illustrations on page 255 show all the items of equipment used in mountain climbing and make it possible to find out that those little metal pieces around the edges of the sole of Gebirgsjäger mountain climbing boots are called le clou, type aile de mouche. How else would you know? |
|
| There are many sections related to the military including Weapons, Shooting, Maneuvers, Military Movements, Military Situations, Fortifications, Aviation, Sanitation, the Navy, etc. |

|
These contain detail as small as things like la plaque d’identité (Erkennungsmarken or dogtags), shooting glasses, etc. There are two indices in the back of the book, one in German and the other in French, a splendid cross-reference.
If you are interested in these subjects, there is no substitute for owning the Duden Français Dictionaire Illustré. The only problem is that the Third Reich FRENCH editions are nearly impossible to find these days. Here is your chance!
Wonderful condition and containing a wealth of information. This dictionary would be very hard to upgrade.
