Welcome at Forestry of the Third Reich!

I'm Steven and i am a collector of forestry from the Third Reich era. I've created this website to inform people about forestry and all related to it during this time period.

You will see that i use my own collection along with information gathered over the years and the help of other forestry collectors to explain this little and for most unknown part of the Third Reich.

Please Donate A Few Dollars To Keep This Site Alive

​

I could’ve made this website paid-members only, made a book out of it and sold it to you like everyone else, plastered it with advertisement, referred you to expensive law firms to make ends meet,… but I’ve done none of that.

 

This site is FREE for you to use and you already know that there is NO alternative on the internet that’s as complete, accurate and helpful.

Please consider donating a few dollars to keep this site alive

and up-to-date for yourself and others.

I don’t ask you to pay my bills, all I ask is a meager donation to keep up

with the server cost and maintenance.
