Kampf was published “more or less bi-monthly by Kampf, 8512 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11029 -- Price $1 per issue.”

The issue illustrated was not numbered, but was on the Battle for France 1944, and was © 1966 by James F. Dunnigan. Mr. Dunnigan noted that “[t]his pamphlet was written, quite frankly, because I was unable to find a comparable work ... It differs both from the ‘popular’ and ‘official’ histories in that it is far more detailed than the popular works (and thus not quite as ‘light’) while at the same time not being quite as gross and exhaustive as the official histories.”

He went on to apologize “for the sometimes ‘loose’ appearance of this pamphlet. It was done while carrying a full academic load at Columbia University. That it was completed at all is a testament to the ability of man to survive without sleep.”

Physically, the pamphlet was typed and photocopied in folio format (5 ˝” x 8 ˝”) in black and white. It consisted of 32 pages, including covers, and contained 13 mostly hand-drawn figures (maps, tables and matrices).

The pamphlet contained the following sections:

• The War Until June 1944
• Where to Invade?
• The Armies
• Strategy and Tactics
• The Allied Assault
• Battle for Normandy
• The Pursuit
• South France
• The Campaign Ends
• Retrospect
• Reading List

Mr. Dunnigan was true to his word. Kampf was more a monograph than a magazine or pamphlet. It contained detailed information, such as orders of battle, orders of appearance, comparisons of unit strengths and abilities, and types of weaponry. Each stage of the campaign was described, and accompanied by an appropriate map.

Alternative plans (such as the seven likely invasion areas) were described and discussed. An extensive bibliography rounds out the document.

Recently Mr. Dunnigan noted that Kampf pamphlets were issued “on Battle of the Bulge, Battle for France and Guadalcanal. I’m pretty sure that was it.” I can confirm the existence of Battle for France and Guadalcanal.
