Stuttgart was famous for being the City of the Ausland-Organisation (AO) for Ausland-Deutsche or Foreign Germans, and the Germans Living Abroad actually constituted a separate (43rd) Gau of the German nation! It was also the home of Mercedes-Benz, one of the largest Nazi defense contractors in Third Reich Germany.

Befitting a city of its size and importance, Stuttgart also had an excellent, very, very well-illustrated weekly photo magazine that covered the war and currect events called Stuttgarter Illustrierte. The huge 3 x 11 x 15 inch, 10 pound book we are offering here appears to be the entire run of Stuttgarter Illustrierte issues from January through December of 1941.

It was a very historic year in Germany and in Europe so the thousands upon thousands of images contained in these magazines are equally historic. Each of the magazines has a particularly newsworthy person, group or event featured on the front cover. Often that same person, group or event is featured in an in-depth photo essay inside. In all cases each big weekly issue contains a marvelous selection of photographs or Nazi personalities, the war, German Allies, and demeaning pictures of things British and American. There are cartoons, considerable advertising and some continued stories. Each magazine is a treasure trove of 1941 central European history!

Some of the interesting features include Nazi Paratroopers; Going to Ski School; the SS at War; a British Stamp featuring Winston Churchill's Face above the Name DOMINION DEUTSCHLAND; the House of German Art Show in Munich for 1941, Organisation Todt; Women in Uniform serving the Armed Forces; Shooting - Editing - Running Die Deutsche Wochenschau; Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto; Fighter Pilots; the Modern Geschwader Richthofen; etc., etc.

Covers feature a handsome young LSSAH Officer wearing an Army Overseas cap with a SS skull on the front, Werner Mölders, Deutsche Afrikakorps General Erwin Rommel being awarded by Hitler, Pilot Adolf Galland holding a dog, etc. Our personal favorite has a picture of two Army Officers wagging their index fingers at SS-Obergruppenführer Sepp Dietrich.

CONDITION: fortunately these Stuttgarter Illustrierte magazines have been bound for decades and have thus escaped the terrible beating often taken by single issues. We found nothing that has been cut out and no particular damage beyond the fact that the edges of the magazines were not perfectly trimmed during binding. In most cases a part of the white margin of each page has been cut off but virtually all of the photographic data and text is well preserved.
