Charity shop find

This charity shop ( of ages ago)  find emerged from a pile of books I was sorting at the weekend. I am posting pictures of it as it has an interesting map and illustrations  in it. It is a book of its time and initially I wasn’t sure about buying it. Eventually I bought it to give to the Charity, so some good came from it.

    I see Berchtesgaden is marked with a swastika.

      Not surprising I guess, as I said it is a product of the times.

    Still, a lovely stylized map of interwar Germany.

    Best Regards,

    Fascinating map of its interwar time - thank you for sharing. I wonder how many Bletchley Park German speakers would have used primers and language texts like this?

    Lots of interesting detail - the Russian wolf, the Tannenberg soldier etc.

    See also the child holding a toy horse and toys at Erzgebirge - the area which gives its name to toy wooden villages, wooden toy soldiers and wooden animals.
