Original German WWII Luftwaffe Der Adler Magazine Collection in Binders – Years 1939 1940 (All 49 issues) Original Items

Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a collection of all issues of Der Adler magazine beginning in March 1939 and completing in December 1940. Der Adler was the official magazine of the Luftwaffe in World War II.

In total there are 49 issues total (every two weeks). That means every single issue issued from the magazines first issue in March 1939 through Decmber 1940. All issues are contained in an original official Der Adler Luftwaffe binder for each year (two binders total). The magazines are in their original GERMAN language, these are not the reissue magazines that were printed in English. This collection is incredibly rare with fewer than a handful known to exist. Of particular interest is the Summer of 1940 during the Battle of Britain which is very well documented with loads of photos of German bombers pounding English towns and cities, even a wonderful photo of the cliff of Dover with smoke billowing off one and a German bomber in the foreground.

Overall condition of the magazines are good, very little damage, though the 1940 set appears to have gotten damp at some point in the past thankfully the damage was very minor. The cover images are all very good as are the images and text throughout. You will not be disappointed!
