Training Rifles of Third Reich Germany

Training Rifles of Third Reich Germany

As the Nazis rose to power in 1933, one of their first priorities was the institution of a program designed to train every citizen to become a proficient marksman, capable of defending the homeland. This program would also force the Gleichschaltung or standardization of all shooting organizations in Germany, reintroduce consortium production of firearms for the anticipated war effort, and provide the funding for machinery, materials, and manpower for that clandestine build-up for war. The training rifle program was very much an initial step towards World War II, which was arguably the single most important event in the history of our existence. Long an intriguing mystery with no answers available, the veil is now lifted with a thorough explanation of the training rifles which enabled this world-changing event. Finally, a comprehensive reference work for collectors and scholars of the wide variety of training rifles used in Germany before and during World War II is available. Hundreds of photos, drawings, original blueprints, advertisements, and charts are included; along with historic documents recently discovered which give a detailed view of these historic firearms. Descriptive text from the world's leading experts in the field cover the development, design, production and use of .22 caliber, 4mm, and air rifles, as well as insert devices, accessories, and ammunition. Interviews with participants at all levels of this program-living and dead-who made, designed, and used these firearms have provided insights into the previously unknown world of these German trainers.
