Table of Contents

Military artists tend to paint the two extremes of the soldiers life; at one end the subject is rendered in his parade best uniform, pressed and spotlessly clean, and at the other extreme locked in heroic combat defeating his enemy. Friedrich Ludwig Scharf took the middle road, painting the troops as they looked going about their daily duties.

Scharf, on one hand an artist, had also been a career Jager enlisted man, rising to the rank of Offizierstellvertrater in 1918. He spent most of his wartime service on the Eastern front where he observed and fought with the Cavalry regiments, as well as the Reserve and Landsturm troops assigned to that front.

In his paintings the uniform historian and military modeler will find accurate and sometimes amusing representations of what Scharf actually saw. The ill-equipped Landsturmers with outdated uniforms, the Cavalry still mounted dashing about the Russian front, Flamethrower troops, ski troops and even a Franciscan monk in military service were captured in his watercolors and linoleum block hand-colored prints.

This book is a must for the serious student of the uniforms of the German forces from 1910-1939, portrayed in the unique style of Friedrich Ludwig Scharf, 1884-1965.

Beautiful and comforting!
Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Love, Love, Love this throw! I love the feel, coloring, and wearability! When my Tortie Cat lays on it, it is hard to see her! This is warm, soft, and Beautiful! Looks as good today as it did when I got it for Christmas! The Unhide Marshmallow brand was my favorite, before, and I do still like, I hope this washes up as well as they do. It is heavier, But very comforting!

Nice blanket
Size: Twin(60" X 80"), Color: Tie Dye Charcoal
My partner and I fight over this blanket. It’s so soft and comfortable. I wish I got a bigger size. It’s a little bit darker overall than the photo. I believe I got the black/gray color. It’s a good weight, not too heavy but not too light.

Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Olive Green
20x better than I expected! Has a great weight to it so it kept me extra warm during those super chilly nights, but SOFT. Like SO SOFT!!! I was skeptical about spending this much but it turned out to be worth it. Color is great too it’s like a forest jade green
