This is a very good original Third Reich example of the rare 5-1/4 x 7-1/2 inch very heavily illustrated 96 page softcover Nazi Wehrmacht manual called the Nachschubfibel (Wehrmacht Supply Train Manual) by Oberst Bieringer. It is a Second Expanded Edition from 1938 published by Verlag Offene Worte of Berlin, the same company that printed Nazi military Nachrichtenfibel, Fahrfibel, Kradfahrerfibel, Pferdefibel, etc.

This original Nazi era military manual contains over 65 photos and illustrations and was published to explain the importance of supply columns to the reader, as well as a practical training tool for Wehrmacht supply troops. Explained are the transportation options (truck, railroad, ships, horse drawn carts) for ammunition, fuel, food, troops, Feldpost, etc.

This interesting Nazi manual includes fold-out charts about the supply of ordnance and fuel transports to the front lines, supply and replacement of weapons and artillery, food supply for troops in the field and at the front line. What makes this chart interesting the fact that it shows a different approach for situations with good rail and road connections and not very good transportation options. Signs and map designations for supply troops are illustrated and explained and the photos show examples of Wehrmacht Nachschubtruppen and motorized Nachschubkolonnen in many different situations.

This is important historical material for historians, collectors, museums and re-enactors. This original, complete 85 year old Nachschubfibel is in very good used condition. The manuals has a tight spine, no odor.
