WWI Christliche Liebesgabe 1914 – “Gott will es” Soldier’s Prayer Book>/h2>
This original 1914 Christliche Liebesgabe (“Christian Love Gift”) WWI soldier’s prayer book was issued to German troops at the outbreak of the First World War. Titled “Gott will es” (“God wills it”), the booklet was prepared by Msgr. Dr. Oskar Freiherr Lohner von Hüttenbådh and published in Munich and Trier as spiritual support for soldiers serving in the field.
Bound in its original dark cloth cover with a faded cross-and-wreath design, the book contains devotional texts, prayers, and religious guidance intended for wartime use. The interior features ornate printed endpapers, illustrated initials, and period typography typical of early WWI publications. Pages show expected age wear but remain well-preserved for a 1914 edition.
