German Calendar for American Audience 1940

Updated August 26, 2026

This calendar from 1940 was produced in Germany explicitly for American distribution, as indicated by its English-language month and holiday designations. The cover features a black-and-white photograph and the heading "German Calendar 1940." Throughout, the pages include monochrome images of significant German monuments, architecture, and cultural scenes. It is arranged by the Terramare Office, Berlin, with both German and American holidays noted. The production and intended audience suggest cultural outreach, and the calendar may be associated with the German-American Bund, a pro-Nazi group in the United States during the pre-WWII period. The item is cord-bound and shows minimal visible wear.
