This is a fine example of the rare 7-1/2 x 9-7/8 inch, 144 page, very heavily illustrated full-color hardcover book Unsere Wehrmacht im Kriege - Farbaufnahmen der Propagandakompanien (Our Armed Forces at War - Color Photographs from the Propaganda Companies) by Carl Albert Drewitz.
Unsere Wehrmacht im Kriege - Farbaufnahmen der Propaganda-Kompanien is a rare 7-1/2 x 9-3/4 inch hardcover book, seldom seen in this very good condition.
Published by Verlagshaus Bong & Co. in Berlin in 1941 it still has its original 83 year old dust jacket which shows minor wear (see image near the top of this USMBOOKS web page. The book itself (shown above) has a tight spine, no odor.
The quality of the photography is superb, with big, highly detailed one-to-a-page close-ups of uniforms, helmets, weapons, insigne, field gear, tanks, planes, communications equipment, submarines, torpedo boats, railway guns, ordinary Landsers at war and German soldiers parading on the Champs Elysées in Paris. There are Luftwaffe crews and their aircraft, Kriegsmarine personnel, submarines and ships, Nazi paratroopers, Waffen-SS units, Flak troops and guns, and even an underwater diver and a Nazi observation balloon.
It was published in 1941 after the first few months of the successful Ostfeldzug, when “German soldiers defeated the enormous Bolshevik danger that was threatening Germany and Europe.”
