We've made it! 

Thanks to a generous donator and a final sprint, we reached a funding of $19,500. But the campaign doesn't end here. Thanks to Indiegogo you can still contribute and buy any of the original perks.

Grossväterland is a comic book, that tells true war stories from some of the last living german eye witnesses of WWII as a 160 page graphic novel. It will be published in late 2015. You can preorder now – just choose a perk on the right.



Großväterland ("Grandfatherland") is a 160 page full color graphic novel that tells true german war stories from the Second World War – backed by research and  texts explaining the historic facts surrounding the stories.
  • The stories are told from the perspective of the last living eyewitnesses. We don’t want to tell the history of WWII but stories from WWII
  • Grossväterland is going to establish an objective view of the history via the subjectivity of the storyteller – without sugarcoating or lecturing
  • For historical and sociopolitical validation of the project we are collaborating closely with historic experts and institutions

Großväterland on TV

See the following two TV features about Großväterland and the two eye witnesses Otto and Gisela from German TV stations NDR and RTL (German language):


International shipping and taxes included in all perks!

All perks can be found and ordered on the right side of this page. Here are four perks we think are the best:

But there is more into it than just "things":

  • You get real stories about what it was like in WWII on the german side
  • The hard cover-book will have 160 full color pages with german and english language in one single edition. So you get the original dialogues.
  • Worldwide delivery is included in the price of all perks where necessary
  • Beautifully drawn and with lots of historical background information written by experts in history of The Third Reich
  • You can get a whole lot of extras – from the digital version up to original artwork and paintings. Please find all perks on the right.
  • We expect the delivery for late 2015.
