4th Edition August 1973. Soft covers. Book - Good. Ex-lib.

The A, B, C, and F expansion manuals for this popular children's game, one that "marked the shift in using not only toys but commercially produced board games to explicitly militarize and mobilize youth" (Flanagan & Jakobsson, p. 80). In total they introduce 34 battle scenarios inspired by campaigns from across the 19th and early 20th centuries. Jungdeutschland Schlachtenspiel was first produced in 1912 to create enthusiasm among children for the war. This was only one year after H. G. Wells had released a similar book, Floor Games, in England. "In the lead-up to World War I, dozens of increasingly complex popular war-themed board games were published in Western Europe, and in Germany in particular. By 1925 the war game's logic of regimentation and precise scale had seeped into a broader conception of the correct form and function of children's play" (Brown, p. 455). The first manual, A, featured eight example setups such as attacking a fortified position, performing a river crossing, or fighting for an armoured battery. Later expansions added layouts based on historical battles: Frederick the Great's campaigns in Manual B, the Battle of Leipzig in Manual C, the Napoleonic Wars of 1814-5 in Manual D, and the First World War in Manual F. Manual A contains three loosely inserted battle diagrams presumably used by a former player. Manual C, set in the 1813 Battle of Leipzig, is in the presumably early pictorial wrappers. The other manuals are in uniform grey wrappers likely applied to later editions. Patrick S.
