Published by Zeitgeschichte-Verlag of Berlin in 1938, this example of Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt 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 and spine are quite worn (clearly visible in the photo at the top of this USMBOOKS web page), 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 85 year old book has no odor.
This 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.

This is a fine original hardcover example of Heinrich Hoffmann’s first best-selling photo book on the Führer, Adolf Hitler. Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt (The Hitler Nobody Knows) was published in 1932, and this is the book that made Hitler’s photographer Heinrich Hoffmann a wealthy man.

Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt introduced the future Chancellor to the German people as a hard worker, a non-smoker and teetotaler - a popular man of the people with a vision for the future.
