This is an extremely fine example of the early and rare 62 page very heavily illustrated Third Reich cigarette card album Das Neue Reich (The New State). The front cover is deeply embossed with a bold 4 inch diameter swastika in a wreath of oak leaves.
The book consists mainly of captioned pages onto which 156 genuine continuous tone black & white photographs (NOT pictures printed by a mechanical process - these are REAL photographs) have been pasted. The photos are in a size of about 2-1/8 x 3 inches and are in very good condition.

Das Neue Reich is one of the earliest Nazi publications distributed after the National Socialists attained power in Germany early in 1933, and begins with seven words of a Hitler quotation Du bist nichts - dein Volk ist Alles! (You are nothing - your Nation is everything!). That slogan is followed by a full-page portrait of Adolf Hitler layered beneath a translucent sheet, an index to photographs, and then the photographs themselves. All the dated photos are from 1933.
All the principal figures involved in the Nazi Party can be found in the photos in this book. They include Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, Ernst Röhm, Hitler Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach, Rudolf Hess, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Walter Darré, Dr. Robert Ley, Horst Wessel, rows of SS men and SA troops, Prince August Wilhelm ("Auwi"), SA General Heines, Benito Mussolini, rows of HJ boys, Hitler and the Nazi Blood Flag, Van der Lubbe, etc.
Many of the early venues of NSDAP activity are also pictured in Das Neue Reich including the Reichstag, the Reichschancellery, Brandenburg Gate, the Neue Wache, the State Opera, the Kroll Opera, the Berliner Dom, Tempelhof Air Field, Lustgarten, Air Ship Graf Zeppelin, Düsseldorf Stadium, SA motorcycle park, Deutschland-Flug, Reichs Party Day 1933, Hindenburg Memorial at Tannenberg, Haus Wachenfeld, the Landhaus of Adolf Hitler just outside Berchtesgaden (before its transformation into the Berghof, etc.
This rare original 13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch Nazi cigarette card album is fully indexed and complete with its 156 genuine photographs, neatly pasted in.
It is the finest example of Das Neue Reich we have ever seen and sold. The covers show minimal wear, the embossed swastika on the front cover is untouched and all the pages are in very nice condition. The book has a tight spine and no odor.
