One of the earliest and rarest books in the series of 50 or so Heinrich Hoffmann photo books produced during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler, this 96 page, 7 x 9-7/8 inch, softcover volume is called Das braune Heer - 100 Bilddokumente: Leben, Kampf und Sieg der SA und SS (The Brown Army - 100 Documentary Photos of the Life, Battles and Victory of the SA and SS). The forward was written by Germany’s 23rd Reichskanzler and Führer of the Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler himself.
There is a portrait of Hitler in his “Brown Shirt” as “SA High Leader”, pictures of men wearing home made armbands and carrying home made Nazi flags, early formations such as Stosstrupp Hitler the storming of the barricades on 9 November 1923, the Nazi martyrs of 9 November 1923, NSDAP Reichsparteitag in Nürnberg in 1927 (the last year Hitler smiled during a parade), Horst Wessel, faces of the SA, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, SS troops from all over Germany, rows of Standards, the High Leadership of the SS (including Sepp Dietrich and Reinhard Heydrich), the Motor SA, the Flying SA, SA horsemen, etc., etc.
With 100 spectacular photographs, the book documents the rise of Hitler and his rag-tag group of National Socialists from the earliest of the 1920s through their parliamentary victories in 1932.
Within months of Hoffmann’s publication of this book, the Nazi Party was in complete control of the political apparatus in Germany and other books followed which depicted the Party’s rise and complete victory in Germany. As a result, this book was not reprinted like the other Hoffmann books and is very scarce.
This edition (41-50,000) of Das braune Heer was published in 1932 and is complete with all its original photographs and the original dust jacket which shows wear. However, the inside is in very good condition.

An earlier owner of the book made a notation between the caption and the page number on page 44 about the death of Ernst Röhm, but the picture is not defaced in any way.
