Anleitung für den Nahkampf und die Handgranatenausbildung - Instruction for Close Combat and Hand Grenade Training.  From April 15, 1944, this is an excellent hand to hand combat manual, showing how to break holds with eye gouging, knees to the groin, explains breaking choke holds, defense against spades and daggers, offensive moves of the same type, and even shows how to use the MP40, MP44, and MG34/42 on horseback.  It is stamped with the circular eagle stamp on the original cover indicating that this manual is from the Waffen SS Unterführer School in Laibach (see Original Cover, below).  It doesn't get much better than this.
This one is very well done, with lots of drawings showing how to defend yourself from the guy in the pointy hat with a star on front (Russian).
