ORIGINAL 1938 / 1939 / 1942 GERMAN INFANTRY YEARBOOKS

The 7 x 9-1/2 inch, 186-page hardcover books were published by order of the Oberkommando des Heeres (High Command of the Infantry) by Verlag Breitkopf and Haertel in Leipzig. The yearbook series was started in 1937, each book is full of very interesting information pertaining the German Heer, new equipment, vehicles, strategies, war photographs (in the 1939 and onward editions) and much more! The Forewords are written by the Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres (Commander of the Infantry), Generaloberst von Brauchitsch. The same kind of yearbooks were also published for the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) and for the Kriegsmarine (KM or Nazi Navy) and we have several volumes listed on this website as well. This lot includes the heavily illustrated volumes 1938, 1939 and 1942. All three are in good to very good condition, the 1938 volume has some water damage but nothing serious.
