1940 Das Zeughaus "The Arsenal" Military Museum Berlin Official Courier Program

Description

A guide booklet I believe was used by the couriers or guides of the museum to explain the different exhibits shown in the museum.
The Zeughaus (English: Arsenal) is a listed building and the oldest structure on Unter den Linden boulevard in the historic center of Berlin. Erected from 1695 to 1706 according to plans by Johann Arnold Nering, Martin Grünberg, Andreas Schlüter and Jean de Bodt in Baroque style, it was later converted into a Prussian Hall of Fame. Damaged during the Allied bombing in World War II, it was rebuilt from 1949 to 1967 as part of the Forum Fridericianum. Since 2003, it has been home to the Deutsches Historisches Museum (German Historic Museum).
In March 1943, Rudolf von Gersdorff tried, but failed to assassinate by suicide bombing Adolf Hitler, during the opening of an exhibition in this museum.
Below is provided a very rough Google translation of the pages shown:

Despite its modest size, this collection provides a good overview, especially of the main types of edged weapons, in which the East in particular was the early teacher of the West. The Dorbilder also came from here for armor in the Middle Ages, in particular for helmets, girdles and plates, which Europe then continued to develop independently. Yoke 39.

It was not until the late Middle Ages that the powder cannon replaced the throwing, sling guns (called Bliden) and giant crossbows in the siege war, and it soon became very important in field battles. The powder as an explosive, a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter and foal, is an ancient Chinese invention, here related to air fireworks. It remains controversial to this day where and when the propellant power of the powder for firing projectiles, i.e. the gunpowder, was first used; but there are good reasons why Germany is considered to be the country in which guns began to develop and develop in the 14th century. Early examples of this has the arsenal, though not of which we are aware of the dimensions of the "lazy Grete," only from contemporary accounts.
The Geschütsammlung is weapons technology arguably the most important section of the Jeughauses and indeed unique in the world. Because it leads to a Nowhere else has the development of the
gunsmithing from its earliest beginnings to the present been seen without gaps. Furthermore, in the epochs of the Renaissance and the Baroda it is rich in splendid bronze-cast guns, which are of high artistic value and originate from the most important gunsmiths ( Joc 44—50).
