Heinz Brandt, der Fremdenlegionär Nr. 91-100 (1915.)

The issues in this set belong to the early war issues of the series. They were published in 1915, after the outbreak of World War I. By that time, the title of the series had already been changed to Heinz Brandt der ehemalige Fremdenlegionär, and the stories fully reflect the patriotic spirit and German war propaganda.

The series was created in the context of the long-standing German campaign against the French Fremdenlegie (Foreign Legion). The German Empire actively warned young men about the dangers of serving in legionary units, which were often portrayed as a modern slave army and cannon fodder for French colonial wars. The Casablanca-Affäre of 1908 was particularly important.

Heinz Brandt is depicted as a young, brave and patriotic German who, after the outbreak of war, deserts from the Foreign Legion and joins the German army, fighting on various fronts of World War I. This perfectly reflected the German mood: escapism through exotic adventures before the war and patriotic war propaganda during the conflict. These issues are classic Frühkriegs-Heftromane that reflect the German mood in the first year of the Great War.

Condition of the copy:

• Professionally bound as a single unit (all 10 issues preserved in their original form).
• Clean pages, no underlining, notes or significant damage.
• Vivid color covers with attractive illustrations typical of the genre.
• General condition: very good for an edition older than 110 years.

This set is particularly interesting because it is very rarely available in bound form. It is a continuous block of 10 issues from 1915. It has significant historical value – a document of the time and popular war literature of the First World War. Ideal for collectors of German Heftromane, Vorkrieg / Kriegs series, militaria or World War I history.

The format is the original kiosk format, bound in a hardcover. The condition is described with maximum precision. We recommend viewing the detailed photos.

Contemporary collectors increasingly appreciate these types of bound editions because they offer better protection and convenience compared to individual fragile Hefts. A great addition to a collection with Perry Rhodan, Jerry Cotton or other classic German series.
