The Colonel Farnes Collection

A German Second World War Kreta Campaign 1942 Book Publication.

A very good example of the book published in 1942 on the Campaign in Kreta. The cover is in the form of the splinter pattern camouflage of the German armed forces with an impression of the Paratrooper Badge moulded into the cover with a Foreword by Field Marshal Goering. The first 31 pages concentrate on the history and details regarding the battle, the remaining approximately 100 pages are absolutely packed full of either full page or half page images of scenes taken during the battle by the Luftwaffe war reporters. The details are incredible, the close-ups of German equipment very good. A must for the Kreta historian or paratrooper collector, reasonable condition £100-£140

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, The Colonel Farnes Collection.
