Avitas Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Hello ladies and gents,I've had this neat little pocket magazine for quite a while and decided to post it for your viewing. It has many pictures of soldiers, songs and advertisements for cigarrettes and liquor amongst others. I couldn't find any dates on it but maybe someone can recognize the date from the price and markings on the front cover. I reckon it was a common magazine that the soldiers of ww1 Germany would take with them to provide entertainment in the trenches. Here are some pics, and I eagerly await your opinions and info on this little magazine.Cheers,Pat
Avitas Posted August 24, 2006 Author Posted August 24, 2006 Of note as well is that there is a Christmas tree song at the very end, so maybe this was a yearly book? or maybe the Yuletide edition. Here is the back cover, with a quaint ad for some fine German cognac,Cheers Pat
Avitas Posted August 24, 2006 Author Posted August 24, 2006 Here is an example of the content of the pocket book, a pretty interesting read from what broken German I can actually understand , but I'm learning it steadily.Cheers, and please leave your comments!Pat
Avitas Posted November 11, 2006 Author Posted November 11, 2006 Hello again gentlemen,Does anyone else have one of these magazines to show? Any and all background info on this is great as I don't usually collect Imperial items but I had to get this magazine as it was very interesting to me. Thanks for any comments!Cheers,Pat
