Wehrmacht illustrations
Vorweihnachten 1943
HJ and BdM
swastika symbols
This Nazi Christmas calendar is an outstanding example of the approach taken by the National Socialists in secularizing what had previously had been religious holidays. These 6-1/4 x 9 inch full-color soft cover, 68 page Vorweihnachten (Pre-Christmas) book was published by the Nazi Party's Reichsorganisationsleiter / Hauptschulungsamt in cooperation with the Hauptkulturamt in der Reichspropagandaleitung for distribution to German mothers.
Wehrmacht soldiers at the front
Snow Bunkers
Soldier Christmas 1943
Like a religious Advent calendar, the book provided activities and lessons on a day-by-day basis from the 1st through the 24th of December, but without the religious orientation found in traditional Advent calendars. The activities ranged from complex explanations of ancient Germanic traditions to craft projects using things like pine cones and nut shells, to identifying animal tracks in the snow to picture puzzles. There are also illustrations of Wehrmacht soldiers, Russian tanks being blown up by German tanks and Allied ships being sunk by German submarines.
racial hygiene, ancestry
There are beautifully rendered traditional designs of flowers and wildlife incorporating swastikas, runes and other Nazi symbols. Poetry, songs and legends illustrate important lessons from the aryan past of the country's history and nature. The concept of decorating a tree with candles and ornaments is intermingled with little Nazi Hitler Youth boys having snowball fights in their Schneebunker.
Nazi life symbols
Kriesgsweihnachten 1943
O Tannenbaum
The original owner wrote her name inside the front cover and Merry Christmas 1943 (in German) on the first page.  Very, very difficult to find in this condition!
The importance of family, racial hygiene, ancestry and a soldierly life are very heavily stressed in this rare Third Reich color publication.
