SOLDATENKALENDER 1941
This series of Feldpost cards was part of the 1941 Soldatenkalender printed by The Central Verlag der N.S.D.A.P., Franz Eher of MUNICH. The cover of the calendar features an image of a German soldier in front of a destroyed town. The title in large red letters reads "SoldatenKalender 1941" and the text along the lower edge reads "HERAUSGEGEBEN VOM STELLV. GENERALKOMMANDO VII A.K".
The calendar measures approximately 180mm (H) x 150mm (W) x 22mm (D) and the reverse side has both a desk stand and a loop for hanging on the wall.
The calendar consists of weekly tear-off pages each of which has a propaganda postcards (the calendar pages could be used as postcards after removing them from the calendar). Following each month there is a full-page portrait of a general, or famous Nazi for a total of 60 pages. The pages feature an artistic images of the German Army in action covering the campaign on the western front, below which are the dates for that applicable week. The cards are not numbered, so they are shown here in the order in which they appear in the caalendar.
The first page features a quote from Adolf Hitler:
"De entschlossener und je härter wir alle die. Opfer auf uns nehmen die der krieg mit sich bringen mag, um so. Sicherer werden wir den frieden erringen, den unser volk benötigt".
"The more determined and harder we all are to accept the sacrifices that war may bring, the more surely we will achieve the peace that our people need."
