Original 1941 wartime edition of “Wir stoßen mit Panzern zum Meer” by E.C. Christophe, complete with its original illustrated dust jacket. This early-war publication presents a detailed account of German Panzer divisions advancing through Western Europe. The cover art—depicting a tank silhouette against a bold red backdrop—embodies the visual style of German military publications from the period.
Published during the height of the German Blitzkrieg campaigns, this book outlines the rapid armoured offensives that brought Axis forces to the English Channel in 1940. Works like Christophe’s were part of broader wartime literature intended to boost morale and emphasise the technological and tactical supremacy of the Panzer arm. Today, it serves as a valuable primary source for studying German military publishing and early-war public sentiment.
Original 1941 copy retaining full structure and legible print. The dust cover shows surface wear and small edge tears typical of age, while the binding remains firm. A strong, collectible example of wartime German print media.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor
