Original WWII German wartime booklet from the Kriegsbücherei der Deutschen Jugend (War Library of German Youth) series, Issue No. 110, titled “Fliegerrettung durch U-Boot” (Airman Rescue by Submarine). Written by Oberstleutnant Dettmann and published by Steiniger-Verlag, Berlin, it recounts the dramatic story of a German aircrew rescue carried out by U-boats.
This series was distributed to German youth, often touching on wartime adventure. Illustrated throughout with period artwork, this example remains complete and intact, showing only minor wear typical of age.
The Kriegsbücherei der Deutschen Jugend was a Third Reich-era publication aimed at the Hitler Youth to promote loyalty and heroism. Each issue depicted stories of military valour across the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, and Heer.
This volume highlights U-boat and Luftwaffe cooperation, illustrating Germany’s wartime unity. Today, it serves as a glimpse into wartime storytelling of the Third Reich.
Good overall condition with light age wear; all pages present and clean.
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
