Ola Guys and gals

Whenever there is a fleamarket in the neighbourhood I Always go and have a look around to see if there is something old from the waryears. Unsurprisingly what you mostly find is rubbish. But today I found a little gem.
An original German aircraft recognition booklet. Published in 1942 in cooperation with the Reichsluftfahrtministerium. This booklet was used to train the youth and luftschutz personell as well as people who were enlisted in the wehrmacht to spot and recognize what was flying overhead. Pretty good condition. Not a bad catch for the hefty sum of 5 euros

Thanks for the replies.

@ Richard
You are right about that. There still is a lot of the stuff around. And I am Lucky enough to have aqquired a little collection of stuff from the waryears at decent prices as well. I'm a designer by trade so my interest in Propaganda and other printed stuff is really great and I have some prime examples of that in my collection.

And since you don't say no I have made some pictures of more contents of the book. I don't have a scanner so you have to make do with photographs.


















I did a bit of checking on the information that the Germans gave with some of the aircraft and it seems to be pretty accurate. Which makes you wonder where they got the information from. It is not like they could be phoning in to the british war department to make some inquiries re the latest model Spitfire.

Really a nice little treasure. I have the contemporary English version of the book. They really are little gems.

That's pretty interesting. Looks like you really lucked out.
