Ostee-Handbuch Sudlicher Teil South Baltic Sea 1931 from US Library of Congress

Description

A surplus copy of a 1931 German "Southern Baltic Sea" handbook, likely used for navigation by sailors in the German Navy as evidenced by the "stamp". This copy was admitted to the United States Library of Congress in October of 1945, just shortly after the end of the war, and apparently sold off as a surplus copy some time later.
520 pages.  E. S. Mittler and Son, Berlin
