This is a very rare, very early Nazi book containing dozens of original period photos in color including a full-page portrait of SA Leader Ernst Röhm. This was the first very high quality publishing effort of the Nazi Party in the wake of their election victories early in 1933, and after Adolf Hitler was appointed Germany's 23rd Chancellor. This huge 9-5/8 x 12-3/8 inch, 150+ page very heavily illustrated hard cover cigarette card album is a good example of Deutschland Erwacht (Germany Awakened) published for the NSDAP in Germany by Cigaretten Bildendienst of Altona-Bahrenfeld in 1933. 

Deutschland Erwacht is the Nazi Party's tribute to itself and consist of a very substantial well-written German text, six full-page illustrations in color and black & white, over 60 color photos pasted in (most 1/2-page size), over 160 black & white photos pasted in, and one huge fold-out photo taken at a Nazi Party rally in Nürnberg that measures 12 inches tall by over 4 FEET long!  

The portrait above and other pictures featuring Ernst Röhm were removed from this book after the Night of the Long Knives in June 1934. The photo above was replaced with a portrait of the new Stabschef der SA, Victor Lutze.

The “SA Brown” colored cloth cover is embossed with gold blocking of the title and the profile of a Nazi against an embossed swastika in an oak leaf wreath. Drawings in the margins of the book were done by SS-Obersturmführer Felix Albrecht.

The book covers every conceivable aspect of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party including major personalities, early meetings, the Beer Hall Putsch, electioneering, the Braunes Haus, fighting the Communists, the SA and SS, the Hitler Youth (HJ), BdM, Party Rallies, winning power in Germany, Hitler at the Berghof and at Mad Ludwig's castle Neuschwanstein, etc.

The fold-out picture of the Standartenweihe in this 1933 First Edition of Deutschland Erwacht has no discoloration whatsoever, even along the folds. It looks like it has never been unfolded for viewing!

This is a very nice little-used original Third Reich color FIRST EDITION of Deutschland Erwacht, complete with all the pictures. The huge fold-out of the Standartenweihe at the 1933 Nazi Party Days in Nürnberg is in the back, part of it is shown below. It is in pristine condition, the best we have ever seen! The 90 year old book has a tight spine, no odor.
