Armee mit geheimen Auftrag: die deutsche Legion Condor in Spanien (Army with a Secret Mission - the German Condor Legion in Spain) by Rudolf Stache is an illustrated Nazi book published to tell the story of the heroic German volunteers that fought in the Civil War in Spain.

This 92-page, 5-¾ x 8-¼ inch softcover book tells the story of their journey to Spain, the logistics of getting German military equipment to Spain, pilots of the Legion Condor in action in Spain, their opponents, the heat, the hostile international press, the first German casualty Leutnant Kolbitz, the Battle for Madrid, and the last day of battle, 28 March 1939. Viva Hitler! Viva Alemania!

This book was published by Henry Burmester Verlag in 1939 as part of a series called Der Weltreporter bringt Tatsachenberichte (The World Reporter brings Factual News). These publications by well-known authors and journalists were advertised as being necessary for anybody who wanted to know more than superficial news or wanted to know more background information. Other Weltreporter publications by Henry Burmester Verlag advertised in the back of this book are "Hollywood - Heaven or Hell?", "20 Years of the Benesch-Regime" and "The Truth about Palenstine".

This 78 year old Nazi book is complete and in very good used condition. There is some writing on the title page, and on several pages there is the stamp of a research institute in Berlin which originally owned the book.
