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 The ill-equipped Landsturmers with outdated uniforms, the Cavalry still mounted dashing about the Russian front, Flamethrower troops, ski troops and even a Franciscan monk in military service were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.

Fits 11” iPad Air with keyboard case
Was looking for something that could hold not just my 11” iPad Air, but also hold it while in its keyboard case with flash sticks and storage for plugs and such. This fits everything perfectly, has good padding, storage pockets inside and out, and feels like a quality build.

Fits in purse without a lot of bulk
I ordered this to use as a travel cross-stitch case on the recommendation of someone else. Surprise, surprise - It doesn’t work as a travel cross-stitch case! (I either shouldn’t have listened or I got the wrong kind). However, I do have a iPad and it ended up working great for that so I didn’t return it. Padding is good; everything fits; easy to use with a nice handle; the zipper is smooth; color is neutral; doesn’t add a lot of bulk so it’s easy to fit in my bag; provides extra protection although I don’t really need that; seams and stitching are holding up well to everyday use and it wipes clean. While it doesn’t work for my sewing while traveling, it does work everyday for “work”. So, don’t get this for sewing, but for your iPad (the actual intended purpose!!); for that purpose it works well. My mistake ended up being a plus and the price was good.

Must have this if you have an iPad.
Fits my iPad perfectly. Makes storage of the power cord easy. It also protects the iPad when not in use.
