  • Klemm Limousine Kl32

    Postcard depicting the Klemm 'Limousine' Kl 32. Ref: 29.04.1935 29th April 1935 Klemm Kl 32 1/1 Postcard depicting the Klemm 'Limousine' Kl 32. Ref: 29.04.1935 Klemm Kl 32 The Klemm Kl 32 was a touring aircraft, developed in Germany in 1932, based on the Klemm Kl 31 as a competitor in the Challenge 1932 touring aircraft competition. Like its predecessor, the KI 32 was a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed, tailskid undercarriage. The Kl 32, however, had a smaller cabin (seating three), and a fuselage built from wood rather than metal. Eight Kl 32s were entered in the competition, seven by German teams and one by a Swiss team. These were powered by a variety of engines, including the Bramo Sh 14, Argus As 8, de Havilland Gipsy, and Hirth HM 150. Notable German pilots included Robert Lusser (who designed the aircraft), Wolf Hirth, and Reinhold Poss. Hirth won the short takeoff trial in his Kl 32, and Poss tied for second place in the overall competition with his. Five of the teams flying Kl 32s finished in the top ten in the 'rally over Europe' part of the competition, and five of the top ten scores overall were achieved by teams flying Kl 32s. A Klemm L32-V (VH-UVE, originally D-2299) was flown by Maude Bonney during her Brisbane to Cape Town flight in 1937, a distance of 29,088 km and the first flight from Australia to South Africa.

Featuring a special cancellation (JB:Frankfurt (Main)87/285). Ref:29.05.1938 29th May 1938 5th Apothekertag 1/1 Commemorative postcard celebrating the 5th Deutscher Apothekertag and the 1st Großdeutscher Apothekertag, Frankfurt a.M. 28th - 30th May 1938. Featuring a special cancellation (JB:Frankfurt (Main)87/285). Ref:29.05.1938 Nazi views on public health developed within the context of German cultural traditions and medical science in the early 20th century. Many of the regime's public health priorities—such as eugenics, group exercise, and warnings against alcohol and tobacco—were first popularised during the years of the Weimar Republic. For example, in the 1930 film, 'Born out of Necessity', young Germans are urged to fight the negative health effects of life in modern cities by exercising together and engaging in wholesome social activities instead of drinking and smoking. These themes were later reflected in public health policies after the Nazi rise to power in 1933. Nazi public health officials adopted many of these traditions and ideas, but the Nazi regime’s public health policies were concerned solely with promoting the health of so-called 'Aryan' Germans. According to Nazi ideology, every member of the so-called ' Volksgemeinschaft ' (German racial community) was like a single cell in the larger national body. Each individual had a duty to stay healthy and strong so that the German nation could conquer other peoples and colonise their lands. These theories about individual health and national strength were influential throughout Europe and the United States in the early 20th century. However, Nazi Germany's policies were much more extreme than those of any other nation.
