Neues militärisches A.B.C. und Lesebuch für gute Kinder

Neues militärisches A.B.C. und Lesebuch für gute Kinder is a German educational and moral instruction book designed to introduce children to reading through military themes, patriotic values, and simple lessons about discipline and obedience. Combining the format of an alphabet primer with short reading passages, the work reflects the strong influence of military culture in German-speaking Europe during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

The book uses soldiers, weapons, ranks, marches, and scenes of military life as teaching tools for young readers. Each section of the alphabet is typically accompanied by illustrations, rhymes, or short stories intended to make reading engaging while also promoting virtues such as loyalty, courage, duty, respect for authority, and love of հայրland. Like many children’s primers of the period, it blends education with moral instruction and social values.
