'Liller Kriegszeitung'
a German Magazine for Occupation Forces
two cover pages for the first and sixth volume reprints
The 'Liller Kriegszeitung' (the Lille War Journal) was a German language magazine published and printed in Lille, in Occupied northern France. It was a somewhat intellectual magazine, offering artistic and litterary articles, illustrations, poems and commentary. Since it was printed in Lille, a city that was considered a prize capture by the German authorities, many articles and illustrations pertain to situations and events taking place in that city.
The following scans are extracts from reprints of the 'Liller Kriegszeitung' that were republished in book form during the war, for apparently the magazine had a widespread reputation for exellence and good taste and was much appreciated in Germany as well as among the armed forces in France.
