Der Landser

Der Landser (literally private, common soldier) was a German pulp magazine published by Pabel-Moewig and featuring mostly stories in World War II settings.

The magazine was founded in 1954[1] by writer and former Luftwaffe officer Bertold K. Jochim [de] (1921–2002), who worked as its editor-in-chief until 1999.

In September 2013 the Bauer Media Group, its last owner, ceased publishing the magazine.

The content of novels was accurate regarding minor technical details, but its descriptions were often not authentic and withheld important contextual information from the reader.

[1] In September 2013, Bauer Media Group said it would cease publication of Der Landser following complaints from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
