• Here we shall place everything else that didn't quite fit into the other categories. Things like books, booklets, tinnies (day badges), newspapers, etcetera.


    [Below: Wandering an antique mall I stumbled upon these interesting medals. They were made by a German veteran's group here in Omaha. They say 'Deutscher Landwehr Verein' (German Landwehr Association). They also say 'Gegr. Am 18. October 1889', so these are very old. I couldn't find out what this date meant unfortunately.]

    [Below: I was lucky enough to find a picture of the men themselves! Pretty neat eh? If you look closely you can see the medal above is pinned on their chests.]

    [Below: This is very cool. Magnificent really. This is the cover of the booklet. It is Autobahn related. It says: 'Die Straßen des Führers' (The Streets of the Führer). Front.]

    [Below: Opened... Wow! Beautiful.]

    [Below: This is a flyer celebrating the return of the Sudetenland to Germany. There are several colors available (they came in red-brown, yellow, purple, green), all of which were dropped from the Zeppelin (although this is mint and never used). It is blank on the other side.]

    [Below: This beautiful flyer was for Austria's Anschluss. It is made of very thin, fragile paper.]

    [Below: Flyer reverse.]

    [Below: This folder was released for the Day of the Wehrmacht in 1940 and is pretty rare.]

    [Below: Inside. This is where various postage stamps were with special cancels. Oddly this one is blank. The Luftwaffe (Feldpost number starting with 'L') was used by 'Regimentsstab u. Nachrichten-Zug Flak-Regiment 38'.]

    [Below: This is a large piece of gummed paper that could be stuck on envelopes. There were many of these released, each one covering different topics.]

    [Below: Here is a translation of the paper. Hore Belisha was a Jewish Liberal, then National Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) and Cabinet Minister of Britain.]

    [Below: Mentioned in the leaflet, Hore Belisha. Eww... how would you like this monster to babysit your children?]

    [Below: Also mentioned in the leaflet, the Jew Zdenek Thon. Two truly reprehensible creatures.]

    [Below: This large booklet is called 'Volks- und Soldatenlieder' (Folk and Soldier Songs).]

    [Below: Opening page - Horst Wessel Lied.]

    [Below: Random page.]

    [Below: A seldom known part of the Third Reich was their 'Kinderlandverschickung' (Children Evacuation, KLV) program. As the twisted Allies waged war on German women and children, the National Socialists created the KLV to take children from cities and move them to the safer countryside. Various camps were set up, as you'll see below. First, let's look at a postcard. This is postmarked July 26, 1944 and was sent to Vienna, Austria from Bad Rauschenbach, Slovakia. The red stripe shows it was looked over by the censors. Click to enlarge and see the reverse.]

    [Below: This magazine says 'Elternbriefe der erweiterten Kinderlandverschickung in der Slowakei'
    Pressburg, Juni 1944'

    (Letters from Parents of the Expanded Evacuation of Children to Slovakia
    Bratislava, June 1944)

    Pressburg is the German name of the Slovakian capital Bratislava. Click to see inside.]

    [Below: American newspaper reporting on children being taken to Slovakia to protect them, from Cleveland, Ohio, dated August 1, 1941.]

    [Below: Another KLV camp for children was called 'Haus Anna', on the Vistrula in the Teschen region, Sudetenland. This postcard was sent on February 14, 1942. Click to enlarge and see the reverse.]

    [Below: This was sent Feldpost to a KLV camp near the town of Wolfstein in the Fraunberg district of Germany, postmarked on July 22, 1944. The Wolfstein County Hospital was used as a KLV children's camp. Click to enlarge and see the reverse and letter.]

    [Below: These are a selection of cards you would paste inside a book, commonly called 'cigarette cards'.]

    [Below: Here are two from a different set.]

    [Below: Here are two more from a different set. We all know the great Alfred Rosenberg, who was murdered by the Allies after the war. Bernhard Rust (September 30, 1883 – May 8, 1945) was the Minister of Science, Education and National Culture (Reichserziehungsminister) in the Third Reich. He was a brilliant and dedicated National Socialist and was loyal to the end. As the communist monsters swarmed over his dear Germany, he took his own life.]

    [Below: And another one from a different set. It says: 'Arbeit-Freiheit und Brot!' (Work, freedom and bread!).]
