The cutlery-spoons, knives, and forks-of
Germany's 3rd Reich communicates its own special history. In
A Guide to 3rd Reich Cutlery, its Monograms, Logos, and
Maker Marks, author James A. Yannes provides a detailed and
heavily illustrated reference book containing extensive and
relative historical exposition on a broad range of personal,
organizational, and commemorative cutlery of the 3rd Reich
beginning in the early 1920s to its demise in 1945.

Augmented with more than 430 photographs, A Guide to 3rd
Reich Cutlery, its Monograms, Logos, and Maker Marks details
the cutlery that was used by the people and organizations
that were the 3rd Reich-from the private services of Adolf
Hitler, Eva Braun, Herman Goering, and Heinrich Himmler to
organizations such as the SS, Red Cross, Hitler Youth,
German Railway, the Armed Forces including the Wehrmacht and
W-SS as well as commemoratives such as the U-47 submarine.

For collectors and World War II history buffs, A
Guide to 3rd Reich Cutlery, its Monograms, Logos, and Maker
Marks details a unique aspect of history that can be held in
the hand.
