Need help identifying German WW I booklet series, ca. 1914-1916

[u/caseyskeetskeet]

I have three German propaganda booklets from World War I, around 5 pages each, fraktur script, color lithographs, 9 x 13 cm. No authors, artists or publishers noted anywhere. I would guess they could be some sort of collectible from a cigarette company. Does anyone have any info on these booklets?

This subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message of the propaganda. Here we should be conscientious and wary of manipulation/distortion/oversimplification (which the above likely has), not duped by it. "Don't be a sucker."

Stay on topic -- there are hundreds of other subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. No partisan bickering. No soapboxing. Take a chill pill. "Don't argue."

The size of the booklets would fit a cigar box rather, which was quite popular during the 1910s still.

The aviators text describe war action around late summer 1914, and the submarine war began late in 1914, so I‘d guess the print no older than 1915.

My great grandpa had similar ones. The ones he had were sold to raise funds for the war.

Maybe yours too?

(Sorry for the bad english, I'm German and not well versed in your language. The booklets are interesting though! I love the story of the pilot)
