German 1936 "75er Regimentsappell" Festschrift Booklet, Bremen
A commemorative booklet (Festschrift) produced for the reunion gathering "75er Regimentsappell in Bremen am 19. u. 20. Sept. 1936," issued for veterans of the 75th Infantry Regiment. The cover carries a color illustration of a steel-helmeted soldier advancing with a drum and pack, rendered in a stylized graphic manner typical of interwar German regimental publications, with the title lettered in Fraktur-style type.
This booklet commemorates a 1936 veterans' reunion (Regimentsappell) held in Bremen for former members of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 75, a unit historically associated with the Bremen garrison that served on the Western and Eastern Fronts during the First World War. Such Festschriften and Appelle were common in interwar Germany, allowing former comrades to maintain regimental ties, honour the fallen, and reinforce a shared wartime identity, a practice increasingly co-opted and encouraged under National Socialist patronage after 1933 as part of the regime's broader cultivation of veterans' organisations and military tradition.
