Newspapers, Periodicals and Magazines - postwar


Recommended Posts

An older copy of the DWJ Deutsches Waffen-Journal, dating from October 2006;
this was readlily available from most newsagents, now mainly only under subscription;
otherwise difficult to find. The magazine presents all actual developments of firearm laws
with respect to collecting, storage and use, as well as interesting topics all about antique
and modern firearms, as well as occasional militaria, and has an adverts section. A very
good magazine for collectors. In the past few years no longer available from most newsagents. Strange.

An article about the BD44, a version of the Sturmgewehr 44 - which about 500.000 were produced and issued
to the Wehrmacht. The Russians developed their Kalaschnikow from this weapon.

An interesting article about a Fahnenträger-Seitengewehr from a Württemberg infantry regiment. This was discovered at an arms fair in Elsace, and research attributed it to one of the last standard bearers from this regiment, 2 fell and one was wounded, saving the colours, which were then withdrawn from the Front in 1915.

DMZ - Deutsche Militär-Zeitschrift
A rare publication, a special edition featuring the Waffen-SS from January 2007. This magazine is no longer available to the general public or at newsagents,
probably only on subscription, if not already banned, has long earned a bad repution with the broad mass general public, as most other publications of special interest.
