DER NEUE BROCKHAUS, A FINE SET OF FOUR HEAVILY ILLUSTRATED NAZI ENCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARIES DATED 1941 & 1942
|
Since these are Third Reich editions of Der neue Brockhaus, there is of course, a lot of Nazi content. The structure of the Nazi Party is explained in great detail (with fold-out), the NSDAP Braunes Haus in Munich has its own entry, the Blood Flag, Nazi Blood Order and many other Nazi medals, Wehrmacht uniforms, and the colorful flag section includes the Nazi swastika flag, the Reichskriegsflagge and the Standarte des Führers. There are specific entries for the SS, the SA, and many other Nazi paramilitary organizations.

There are photos from the start of World War II in Norway, Poland and France, an example of the Deutsche Normalschrift (the Third Reich font that replaced Sütterlinschrift in 1941), charts on the population of and the percentage of Jews in every European country, an explanation of Hermann Göring’s special Reichsmarschall baton, and many important and high-ranking National Socialists have their own entry (Field Marshal von Brauchitsch, Dietrich Eckart, Wilhelm Frick, Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, President von Hindenburg, Hjalmar Schacht, to name just a few).
And in that special German way these books don’t simply show an illustration of a complicated mechanism like a camera for example, but the text and illustrations explain how the thing works!
| Der neue Brockhaus 1 covers A-E, book 2 F-K, book 3 L-R and book 4 S-Z. Under F there is an entry for the Feldherrnhalle in Munich, the letter G has entries for antler styles (Geweih) and rifles (Gewehr), but Maschinengewehr and Maschinenpistole are naturally in the M section. The Obersalzberg entry features a photo of Hitler’s Berghof, under the R one can find information about the Reichsparteitag, RAD and the Reichssportfeld in Berlin. The SA and SS are featured and the W has information on the Walhalla near Regensburg, Richard Wagner, the Wehrmacht, World War I and Horst Wessel. In that special German way, the Horst Wessel entry in Volume 4 even shows a couple of bars of the music for his most famous composition, Die Fahne Hoch or the Horst-Wessel-Lied. |
