You wait for ages for a vintage German "War Toys" catalogue to come along, and then....
Following on from this post showcasing the 1938/1939 Lineol catalogue, now the 1939/1940 catalogue from their great competitor, Hausser Elastolin:
 |
| Heavy Artillery on the front cover |
 |
| Interesting infantry poses (sword waving officer, flag waver, bugler, AA range finder) together with LMGs and HMGs - all rather VBCW! |
 |
| Personalities - no less than four poses of the Fuhrer himself, plus a figurine of the late Generalfeldmarschall (and last President of the Weimar Republic), von Hindenberg |
 |
| The artillery promised by the front cover, from heavy howitzers to infantry guns and an 88mm. Note the searchlights (with real working bulbs!) |
 |
| A competitor hits back - an atmospheric shot of friction powered Pz Mk1s in rapid advance from the even earlier 1937/1938 Lineol catalogue - probably, just to show that nothing is truly original, with cotton wool "dust clouds" behind them.. |
