1938 Mauser company history

Primary sources of history such as this document are fascinating to me. Every author can be expected to insert his own bias into a document, even if striving to be objective. This one would have to be read with a monumental awareness of that fact, considering the source, as Sieger suggests.

I have a book called "Give Prohibition a Chance" for example which was written by a most radical opponent of drinking. It's exaggerations and tone make it ineffective as a persuasive instrument, but it's very interesting and great for a history buff.
