This is a very rare Third Reich technical publication originating at the Krupp Steel Works, a company that supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Movement in Germany from the early days on, and became one of the most prominent Third Reich manufacturers of heavy duty steel products like an array of weapons, U-Boote and other Nazi Kriegmarine ships, as well as very high-quality silverware for the Nazi Party, the German government, the SS and Wehrmacht.

The company name was even used by Hitler in the now well-known quote: “a young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp steel" (Flink wie die Windhunde, Zaeh wie Leder, Hart wie Kruppstahl)!

This is a very, very rare Krupp Steel Works technical dictionary in German, English and French for field, mountain and anti-aircraft artillery equipment (Feld-, Gebirgs- und Flugabwehrgeschütze). Krupp Wörterbuch Deutsch - Französisch - Englisch was published in April 1938 by Friedrich Krupp Aktiengesellschaft of Essen and was intended for use by officers and engineers . In the foreword it says that the “subject matter is presented in a systematic manner and explained by means of drawings.”

The 4-1/2 x 7 inch, 306-page Krupp Wörterbuch Deutsch - English - Französisch covers things like ordnance, fixed and separate-loading ammunition, motorized vehicles with and without mounted artillery, mortars, howitzers, breech mechanisms, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft carriages, anti-aircraft sights, field guns, different kinds of fuzes and detonators, tractors and dozers, pack horses, etc.

This 1938 Krupp technical dictionary is beautifully illustrated with line drawings, not hard to define black & white halftone pictures. The listings are from A to Z and are also indexed by language, making this a very handy technical dictionary. In the back of the dictionary are four blank pages for notes, which are unused, blank.

The dark blue leatherette cover and spine of this 85 year old three-language Krupp Wörterbuch have gold blocking. It is complete and in very nice used condition with the name of the original owner on the front flyleaf. It has a tight spine and no odor.
