Superb, smaller-sized, period WH instruction-booklet entitled: 'Die Maschinen-pistole 40 - Beschreibung und Handhabung' (= instruction- ie. training-manual for the MP40 machine-gun) as was published by the: 'Heinz Denckler Verlag' based in Berlin

The smaller-sized- and desirable booklet - only sized: 15 x 10,5 cms. - is fully complete and retains all its 22 pages - containing various illustrations and/or glued-in (to be folded out-) leaflet(!) - and is just somewhat yellowed and/or stained caused by normal age and storage for decades. The example on offer here has been used (ie. read) but is void of any damage whatsoever (normal traces of wear and/or age are however present as can be seen on the pictures). As possibly known has this booklet also been reproduced: this is naturally a fine original and/or period example. The booklet provides the reader with text and illustrations and gives a complete insight 'on properly using the standard machine-gun MP40 and all its accesoiries' (something that was of course deemed needed within the German army). These sought-after publications - as published by the 'Heinz Denckler Verlag' based in Berlin - were not 'standard-issued' manuals but had to be privately acquired by the soldiers ie. NCO's and/or officers. These small-sized, instruction-manuals are very collectable and can easily be graded 'scarce': the issue covering the 'Die Maschinen-pistole 40' is the most desirable of the extensive series!
