Panzerarmee afrika kalender 1943

[Bond]

Hi,
I got this recently, part of a vet bring back group from N africa and Italy.
It came with a wehrpass for Hg div and a loose page from another luft wehrpass.

I have long wanted one of these and though it is salty and missing its map and some pages, I am happy to have it.

It must have been one of the most optimistic print runs in the Third Reich. Nice piece. Jacques

Hi Jacquesf, thanks for your comment.

I think they were made before the 2nd battle of Alamein, when the war was still going well for the Germans, which started on the 23rd of october 1942.
Maybe they were in deNile!

Can anyone help me, as I would like to replace the map if I can, with an original if possible, but if someone can post a good picture of one, so I can copy it and print out a facsimile, that would be a good substitute, in the short term?

Thanks, JerryB

It is interesting but the only public library in Germany and Austria is the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek who has one copy of this calender in its stock:

Jerry, very cool. I think these are really neat pieces. Hoping to have one myself one day! Mike.
