Fateful Years, Carl Walther: The World Famous Thuringian Arms Factory 1886 - 1945

Description:
Fateful Years, Carl Walther: The World Famous Thuringian Arms Factory 1886 - 1945

More than just a company history, Fateful Years is a rare inside look at Carl Walther Waffenfabrik of Zella-Mehlis, Germany—from its founding through its most controversial decades. Originally written in German and faithfully translated and expanded for English-speaking audiences, this volume is essential reading for collectors, researchers, and military historians.

Inside you’ll find a compelling narrative of the Walther family, company leadership, and employees, set against the backdrop of World War I, the Third Reich, and World War II. Rich historical detail is paired with dozens of never-before-seen photographs of Walther personnel, production facilities, and the legendary firearms they produced.

Covers a wide range of iconic weapons, including:

• Walther pocket pistols
• The PP, PPK, and P.38
• The firm’s role in developing the G.41, G.43, and K.43 rifles

More than a gun book, Fateful Years is a human story—of innovation, compromise, and survival in the shadow of history.
