Description
This is a nice example of the 1940 published German ‘Merkblatt über Gasabwehr’, which translates as being an instruction booklet or pamphlet for gas defence.
Written by Dr Ing (Major) Scholle of the Heeresgasschutzschule (Army Gas Protection School), the booklet would primarily been issued with gas mask to provide instructions on its use and the dangers of chemical weapons.
The booklet contains 52 pages, and features practical instructions, diagrams, and photographic images of the masks in use.
A nice piece of WW2 era German militaria for a collector, particularly if you wanted to team it up with a gas mask.
I would describe the condition as generally good, but service used.
There is some minor soiling to the cover, and a little foxing / soiling to the inner pages.
Some of the page corners are bent over from use.
The back cover has two round ‘rust’ stains, which I attribute to it having resting against the two rivets (holding a photo in place) in a wehrpass.
The front cover also has some minor creasing.
Overall it’s a decent service used example, with wear commensurate with age and use.

The item measures approximately 14.5cm x 10.1cm (closed)
