Foreign orders are welcome - contact me for a quote for the extra postage cost. U.S. postage rates were increased again. It is no longer cheap to send to other countries. I suggest you purchase everything you want at one time to be sent in one packagee to decrease the cost of postage as much as possible. Combining an order with a friend is also a good way to save on postage costs.
"Reference words" are just above the price in each ad. Please use these words when ordering to avoid confusion about which manual you would like.

Weapons and Shooting Technical Guide
for the Order Police. The 1944
edition of the German Police Weapon and Shooting Technical Guide
(Leitfaden - pronounced LITE Fawden) is now fully translated and
in print. This book is now 700 pages of English, in
hard-cover format, 6" x 9" with over 400 illustrations,
and over 2" (5 cm) thick. The Table of Contents and the first
20 pages are in a PDF file below.
There
is so much information in this book that showing a few individual
pages just doesn't do it justice. 3 of the 12 color illustrations
are also listed below. I spent a year working on this book. Be sure
to read the table of contents to see what this book covers. While
this book was published in 1944 for the German Order Police, the
weapon and shooting technical information in it is useful to everyone
interested in the German techniques for shooting and the weaponry
common to the Order Police, but also includes information on the
MG42, MG34, Luger, P-38, earlier MPs and the MP38/40. There is no
other book that compares to this volume. NEW: Mortar

96 pages. A very well illustrated manual. Weapons Handling, Cold Weather - WWII German Army Issue Behandlung der Handdwaffen, bei Schnee,
Kält und Tauwetter - Handling of the Handweapons
with Snow, Cold and Wet Weather. How to protect weapons, equipment,
and accessories with cold weather, from Nov. 13, 1941. A brief manual
with 12 pages, priced accordingly. Text only, no illustrations. Sport Regulations - WWII Era Issue Sportvorschrift für das Heer -
Sport Regulations for the Army. How to get the proper physical
exercise, how to swim, box, and much more, from Oct. 1, 1938. 83
pages, numerous illustrations. See the sample pages below. Spoken German - US Army WWII Spoken German! - This 1944 language
course from the Linguistic Society of America was used by the United
States Armed Forces Institute to teach our guys how to speak conversational
German. The original manual had 265 pages, but was printed at half-sheet
size, which made for a very thick book. Each original page has been
scanned and enhanced, and was printed two to a page to reduce printing
costs. (Cheaper is good, right?) There are 12 Units (chapters) in
this manual. Each Unit had two 78-rpm records for it, with each
record having two sides. That's 48 sides of audio in German for
you to follow along to learn correct pronunciation. I have digitized
and enhanced these old recordings, and provide them as .MP3 files
on a CD for you to listen on your computer or CD .MP3 player. These
audio files have been digitally cleaned of pops and hiss, which
all the old records had, and are very clear and as noise-free as
possible. Take a quick lesson by listening to the audio file below
while you read the file of Pages 87-88. The remainer of the course
is all the same format, but also includes explanations and quizes. Armor Helps You - WWII Era Issue Panzer Helfen Dir! - Armor Helps
You. An interesting small (about 5.25" x 7") manual
from Sept. 15, 1944, translated and reproduced in the original colors
for learning how armor was to be taken advantage of and supported
by the troops in combat. 39 pages, numerous illustrations. See the
sample pages below. Sandbox Primer - WWII Era Issue Sandkasten-Fibel - Sandbox Primer.
A very informative manual for learning about the construction and
use of the instructive sandbox. 67 pages, 45 illustrations. This
is all about the theory for using the sandbox, how to construct
a proper sized sandbox, how to simulate the terrain, some map reading
basics, how to make scenery, and some sample exercises to explain
how to best use it. A great way to "train" when the weather
isn't favorable. I would think that every German camp would make
a sandbox of the local terrain for the public to see how it was
done in the day. See the table of contents and sample pages below. War Games - WWII Era Issue Kriegsspiel-Fibel
- War Games Primer. An interesting manual for learning how orders
were given in combat situations, and includes some of the reasoning
and explanations of how these decisions were made. 88 pages, 22
illustrations. Map exercises are explained as being between a leadership
group, "playing" against the director, while War Games
are two leadership teams against each other, with a director as
the person who advances the game with different variables. See the
table of contents and sample pages below. |
