Discipline is everything by Kurt Halbritter (1924-1978)

I remember I found this little book a few years ago by accident in a secondhand bookshop for 2,5 euro. The nice thing about it  is that there's an original drawing in it by Kurt Halbritter himself, signed 1.X.'60. (1960).


The book was published in 1954 (Verlag Bärmeier&Nikel, Frankfurt Am Main). It's a collection of drawings  and cartoons about recruiting for military service. The soldiers are universal soldiers, not belonging to any nation.
