SCARCE LIMITED EDITION ADOLPH HITLER PHOTO BOOK.

Hard cover book, 12-5/16″ x 9-3/8″, consisting of 133 pgs of text in German with hundreds of black and white photographs of the German military and Adolph Hitler along with some photos of ordinary citizens. It is the understanding of this cataloger that these books were sold to the ordinary German citizen and then the photographs were added as they became available or as they were released by the German government and the individual pasted them into the book in their proper location. This book has an introduction by Herman Goering dated 15 September 1935 and another from Dr. Joseph Goebbles. Given that the entire text is in German very few of these books were brought to the United States after the war and few survive today. The paper was not of high quality and has deteriorated. Accompanied by its orig cardboard slip cover. CONDITION: Fair. Covers retain bright orange with embossed gold lettering and a white, gold embossed spine, which also has a gold embossed swastika. Spine and several pages are loose but it seems to be completely intact. Pages are yellowed and brittle with several small chips on some edges.
