Thought i missed some game of Kara ben Nemsi against Hadschi Alef Omar, most
likely a king's gambit, which Kara would have won of course in a most heroic way

Yes, very archaic.

During my childhood i was also a Karl May enthusiast. But the books had other
cover paintings. Are those somehow archaic Sascha Schneider paintings from
original editions?

Today my impression is a bit master race attitude - somehow zeitgeist of that
age. How was May's and Schneider's standing during third reich?
