German WWII Booklet "Schlag nach ueber das Jahr 1940"
A softcover reference booklet titled "Schlag nach ueber das Jahr 1940" ("Look It Up: The Year 1940"), a chronicle summarizing events of 1940 in politics, culture, economy, and sport. The cover, printed in black, red, and cream, carries the original price marking of 50 Pfennig.
"Schlag nach" was a popular series of small reference chronicles published annually in Germany, offering a compact almanac-style summary of the preceding year's political, military, economic, cultural, and sporting events. The 1940 edition would have covered the opening phase of the Second World War, including the campaigns in Poland, Scandinavia, and Western Europe, framed through the lens of contemporary German state-controlled media and NSDAP propaganda. Such booklets were inexpensive, mass-produced items intended for general public consumption, reflecting how the regime sought to shape public understanding of unfolding wartime events.
