Description
Former library book. German language edition. Cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.
This vintage German-language edition of “DDR Handbuch” (GDR Handbook) offers a fascinating glimpse into the military technology and engineering of the former East Germany. Published during the Cold War era, this comprehensive reference work provides detailed insights into the defense capabilities and strategic priorities of the German Democratic Republic. Compiled by experts Hartmut Zimmermann, Horst Ulrich, and Michael Fehlauer, the book explores various aspects of the GDR’s military-industrial complex, from weapons systems and equipment to infrastructure and personnel. Despite its institutional provenance as a former library copy, the book remains in acceptable condition, with clean pages and a secure binding, making it an appealing addition to collections focused on 20th-century military history, East German studies, or the technological arms race between East and West during the Cold War period.
