1941 nazi paratrooper cartoon book
So wird man Fallschirmjaeger!  1941 Nibelungen-verlag Berlin
 
This First Edition (1 of 20,000 printed) of So wird man Fallschirmjäger has an extra unnumbered page (shown above) inside the front cover explaining a bit about the background of SA-Mann and Fallschirmjäger Hermann Groth.
This is a very nice First Edition example of the rare 6-3/4 x 9-1/2 inch, 96-page very heavily illustrated softcover book So wird man Fallschirmjäger (The Making of a Paratrooper) by Hermann Groth and Ludwig Kade (both of III./Fallschirm-Jäger Regiment I) as published by the SS Publishing House Nibelungen Verlag in Berlin in 1941.
Nazi paratrooper cartoon book 1942
Nazi paratrooper training
Ludwig Kade wrote a very interesting, revealing, humorous poem about the making of a Nazi paratrooper and his paratrooper companion Hermann Groth illustrated it with his highly detailed but humorous wash drawings.

The contents covers every aspect of training, R & R and deployment of Fallschirmjäger in the German Wehrmacht during the Third Reich. As in the American armed forces, paratroopers in the Wehrmacht were an elite unit and individual Fallschirmjäger spent their time thinking about fighting, women and their next leave. Getting the paratrooper qualification badge was a big deal. The book ends with a picture of a German paratrooper about to land on the back of a very frightened, running Winston Churchill!

A fine 83 year old Third Reich German paratrooper book in very good used condition.   No fading, no odor.
