This is a fine used example of the rare 200+ page hardcover Nazi photo book Feuer und Farbe (Fire and Color) by Walther Tröge as published by Wilhelm Frick Verlag in Wien (Vienna) in 1943.

Beginning with a six-page overview of the subject of war and art, this 8-3/4 x 9-3/4 inch Third Reich photo book goes on in a short text to describe the new face of war. That short text is followed by an excellent index to the 155 color (four) and back & white reproductions of paintings depicting every aspect of troops engaged in combat. Each picture provides the name of the painting as well as the full name of the painter. Many of these pieces of art are instantly recognizable, but almost nobody knows their names.

There are paintings of Knight's Cross Holders, members of the Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler, SS Division Wiking, DAK and Erwin Rommel, war scenes from the 1939 invasion of Poland, western Europe in 1940 and Operation Barbarossa in the Soviet Union by Wolf Willrich, Claus Bergen, Elk Eber, Eichhorst, Siebert, Thöny, Janesch, Hengge, Handel-Mazetti, Sauter, Padua, Staeger, Engelhardt-Kyffhäuser, Martin-Amorbach, Ahrens, Tschech, Jahn, Werner, Lipus, Dallinger, Gemm, Kaspar, Seidel, Hartmann, Buchheim, Unger, Spiegel, Strobl, Krause, Trenk, Schreiber, and others.

A fine Third Reich hardcover war art book. Hard to find and in very nice used condition.
