1941 WEHRMACHT KALENDER

Published in late 1940 for the year 1941 by the Verlag Die Wehrmacht, this was the fourth annual calendar issued to illustrate the power of the German armed forces under the "Wehrmacht Kalender" title.



The calendar consisted of approximately 60 pages with 52 pages each of which contains a tear off postcard. Between the calendar pages were several full page images. The postcards are not numbered so it is impossible to determine where they appeared in the calendar without the complete item. Fortunately I have access to a complete calendar and the following pages depict the sequence that the cards were placed in the calendar.

If you are interested in finding out where a card in your collection fitted into the calendar you can simply click on this link and find the line that has the same inscription as your card. You can also look for cards that you don't yet possess but would like to acquire in order to make your calendar complete.
