'die Welt'
a German Weekly News Magazine
'Die Welt' (the World) was a German news magazine appearing wekly on Sundays. It contained general news of all kinds, though patriotically during the war years, the coverpages and a large number of inside pages were devoted to war news. Admittedly the 'war news' was seldom of actual combat or anything violent or unpleasent. Rather as in many German news magazines, one would typically find scores of photographs of German soldiers, 'unsere Feldgrauen' engaged in leisure or construction activities behind the front-lines, or making themselves comfortable in dug-outs or trenches. The magazine also regularly contained travelogues, articles on art and architecture, poems, puzzles and serialized novels, often of the more romantic kind such as those by author Courth-Mahler.
If the photographic contents was not of the most warlike kind, it was ofset and compensated by offering less usual glimpses of the daily life of German and Austrian troops.
