'Der Weltkrieg 1914'

a German Serial History Magazine

cover page of issue 13

'Der Weltkrieg 1914' was a cheaply printed German serial history magazine, somewhat like the French 'La Guerre au Jour le Jour'. Each issue contained text articles on the course of events along with a number of photos and illustrations. This magazine was not as extensively illustrated nor as large sized as 'Illustrierte Geschichte des Weltkrieges', another German serial history publication.

Here are several representative pages.
