VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1941 PHOTO BOOK ON THE WAFFEN-S
This extremely heavily illustrated 150 pages soft cover book in very good condition was published 1941 by the NSDAP Central Publishing House in Munich. The only text in this book is a foreword by Gunter D\'Alquen, a pro-minent SS war reporter after September 1939 and towards the end of the war appointed by Himmler as head of the armed forces propaganda department. The entire book consists of excellent full page and even double page photos, showing Waffen-SS in action! The many close-up photos by SS war correspon-dent Friedrich Zschackel are fantastic reference material for anyone interes-ted in SS uniforms, weapons, field gear and vehicles! This is a very fine copy of the 1941 original, not the 2006 reprint! Good used condition, comming with original cover, cover has light damages on the spine
