“ABBEVILLE – ERINNERUNGSBUCH DER DIVISION BLÜMM”

A REMEMBRANCE BOOK OF THE WAR EFFORTS OF THIS WEHRMACHT DIVISION DURING THE BLITZKRIEG

AGAINST POLAND AND DURING THE WAR IN THE WEST

The book was published by order of the General Command VII.A.K. and put together by Major Gehring. It was published in 1941 by Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf. in München (Munich), Germany. The Central Publishing House of the NSDAP was the official publishing house of the Nazi party. Following a full page picture of the Division Commander, Generalleutnant and Knight’s Cross Holder Oskar Blümm, the fantastic book gives in-depth information about the situation shortly before World War II started, then of course the Blitzkrieg against Poland in Sept 1939. The major part of this book, however, deals about the war against the British, French and Dutch (who surrendered after 2 days) troops in Luxembourg, Belgium and France in 1940!

The 7-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch, 176-page hardcover book is in good condition and contains about 180 pictures, all taken by members of the Division Blümm.

One of the greatest achievements of Division Blümm was to form a bridgehead near the French town of Abbeville and to break through the enemy lines from there in early June 1940 which had a significant impact on the fast victory in the West! The town Abbeville was also the place where a young private fought in 1917 in World War I. His name: ADOLF HITLER
