Anyone have one of these or seen one before? I Bought it from an online store in Finland today. It will take a month or so to get to me. I am sure it is not rare but I am curious as to just what it is. The seller described it as a Luftwaffe year book. Thanks for looking, John

So there were "yearbooks" (Jahrbücher), but this is actually not one of those. This is a Luftwaffe calendar for the year 1942. In addition to the dates, it features notes of interest (such as images, explanation of insignia, ads from relevant companies, etc etc) and was likely sold to civilians as a morale-boosting piece. Military-issued pocket calendars were much smaller and spartan in appearance.

In any case, a great piece of history in very nice condition!

Thank you.
