NAZI PHOTO BOOK GROßDEUTSCHLAND

,,DAS REICH ADOLF HITLERS -
EIN BILDBUCH VOM WERDEN
GROßDEUTSCHLAND’’
(Adolf Hitler’s Reich -
A Photo Book of the
Development of
Greater Germany)

Hitler named his version of Germany Großdeutschland at least in part in emulation of the name Great Britain, and because he envisaged a much larger country than the one he had become Chancellor of in 1933. The simple name “Germany” simply was not sufficient.

The splendid book we offer here - ,,Das Reich Adolf Hitlers’’ - was the Christmas Book of the Hitler Jugend (HJ or Hitler Youth) in 1940, published at the request of Reichsleiter Baldur von Schirach by the Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger in München (Munich), Germany and this example is from the rare Second Edition.

The book measures 7-3/4 x 10-1/2 inches and has 120 pages. Following an unusual full-page, full-color 1936 portrait of German Chancellor Adolf Hitler by Horn-Stalpfer, the book presents an outstanding photographic recap of each year of Nazi Party administration in Germany from 1933 through 1940.

The photographs of the early years of Nazi power show parades, uniforms, personalities and huge Nazi eagles and swastikas popping up throughout the country.

Progress on the Reichsautobahn, Honor Temples, housing developments, Ordensburgen, and other major projects is heavily emphasized in big full- and half page photos.

So is the 1936 Olympics, the German Pavilion at the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris, the new House of German Art, Reichs Party Day, the visit of Mussolini, Anschluß with Austria and the Westwall defenses.

There are photos of the New Reichschancellery in Berlin in 1939 as well as Hitler’s 50th birthday parade (shown below), but then the photo content changes largely to military in character: aircraft and bomb factories, U-Boot or submarine crews (shown above), tanks, airplanes, marching troops, Fallschirmjäger or paratroopers, the surrender of France after only a few days of resistance, etc., etc.

This is one of the best Third Reich photo books, done in the style of famous Heinrich Hoffmann photo books.

This 65+ year old book is in very good used condition and comes with the original dust jacket which has been laminated to better preserve it.
