Yes, I'm a former librarian too, and I did some of the ILL for my library.

When we request something, we end up pulling up a list of all the libraries
that hold that item. We start with the first library on the list and ask if
they will lend or make copies of the pertinent sections. That library may
say NO, so we move on to the second library on the list and work through the
list until we get a yes.

ILL is worldwide, but you are right, you are more likely to get libraries in
Germany or Europe to lend to you. So, if a library in Europe has holdings
for the magazine, you might be in luck. Getting something ILL from another
continent is probably not going to happen.

Try Ebay - they sell everything, worldwide these days. It may cost you an
arm and a leg shipping, but that might be a place to purchase the magazines.
