Kleine Kriegshefte Nr. 9 Wir schmieden die Waffen
Nazi tank factory
During World War II the Zentralverlag der NSDAP or Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party, published a series of Kleine Kriegsheften or Small War Booklets on many different military and political subjects, and they were always written for consumption by the common Landser or soldier.

This 6 x 8-1/4 inch Kleine Kriegshefte number 9 contains 32 heavily illustrated pages telling the interesting story of vital war weapon manufacturing industries in Nazi Germany, the production of armaments and the German workers responsible for their production.

Nazi war weapon manufacturing industries in Nazi Germany
The illustration on the back cover shows a comparison of the output of war industries in Greater Germany and Great Britain.

This nearly 80+ year old example of Wir schmieden die Waffen is in very good, little-ussed condition. No odor.
Wir schmieden die Waffen starts with a patriotic excerpt from a speech Adolf Hitler gave on 10 December 1940 to Rüstungsarbeiter, or workers in the critical German armament industry. Heavily illustrated chapters cover a Nazi tank factory, the assembly of Nazi U-Boot torpedos, the manufacture of Luftwaffe airplane propellors and engines, grenades and machine guns, all with an emphasis on the fact that Wehrmacht soldiers could not win the war without the materiel produced by the dynamic force of German workers in the armament industry - skilled tradesmen, men and women, engineers, technicians, assemblers, etc.
