Hitler is also shown visiting workers at the General Motors Opel car factory in Rüsselsheim, in Königsberg, in Stuttgart, in Hamburg, in München (Munich), in Salzburg, aboard his personal train, with Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend or HJ) boys and Bund der deutschen Mädel (BdM) girls, with pretty teenage girls, and touching children.
There are many photos of his huge Grosser Mercedes-Benz armored parade cars, photos of Hitler shoveling dirt for the Reichsautobahn and visiting Wien (Vienna) which had become the second largest city of Greater Germany after the Anschluss.

Published by Zeitgeschichte-Verlag of Berlin in 1938, this example of Hitler baut Großdeutschland is in very good used condition with the name of the original German owner inside the front cover, accompanied by the date XII/1941. The ivory covers are somewhat dirty and the spine has seen better days, but the photo pages are in fantastic condition. Our photo of the book cover looks somewhat more yellow than it actually is. Only the lettering is in gold. The book has no odor.
This 85 year old book was brought to the United States at the end of World War II by a veteran of Battery C of the 392nd Field Artillery Battalion, a unit of the 42nd Infantry (Rainbow) Division. The Division was in Bavaria in April of 1945 and liberated around 30,000 inmates from Dachau Concentration Camp on the north side of Munich. By the end of the war, the 42nd Division had established an enviable record. It was first in its corps to enter Germany, first to penetrate the Siegfried Line and first into Munich. Rainbow soldiers seized over 6,000 square miles of Nazi held territory during their march across Europe. A great deal of the history of this notable American Division can be found on the internet.
