“Damals” – Erinnerungen an grosse Tage der SS-Totenkopf-Division im Französischen Feldzug 1940 – Original Wartime Photo Book

Original wartime photographic commemorative book titled “Damals – Erinnerungen an grosse Tage der SS-Totenkopf-Division im Französischen Feldzug 1940”, published by Chr. Belser Verlag, Stuttgart.

This large-format period publication documents the campaign of the SS-Totenkopf-Division during the 1940 French campaign and contains numerous wartime photographs, battle imagery, and propaganda-style presentation material from the early years of the war.

The book retains its original illustrated cover featuring a German soldier standing atop an armored vehicle marked “Orléans.” Interior title pages remain clean and attractive, showing the distinctive period typography and divisional references.

Condition is overall good considering age, with visible period wear, edge wear, creasing, and some damage to the outer cover and spine area. Interior pages remain well preserved and display very nicely. The cover is damaged (little side missing) and reverse is loose!

An increasingly difficult-to-find original wartime divisional publication with strong historical and display appeal.

Sold on commission.
