Im Kampf ums Vaterland : Einzelbilder interessanter Erlebnisse sowie Schilderungen hervorragender Taten aus den Kämpfen der deutschen u. österreichisch-ungarischen Armee im Weltkriege 1914
A 1914 German illustrated war book, published by Loewes Verlag in Berlin, with text by Otto Promber and pictures by Fritz Bergen, recounting episodes from the German and Austro-Hungarian armies in the opening year of the First World War for a home readership. The pictures are dense black-and-white wash-style battle scenes of cavalry charges, bayonet fights, and street combat, with crowded diagonal compositions, smoke, and bursting shells that a designer could draw on for dynamic action layouts.
