Description:

Original copy of Deutschland Erwacht 'Germany Awakened' that was released by the Nazi Party in 1933 after they took control of Germany. The book was propaganda designed to indoctrinate the German people into the Nazi beliefs. Book is filled with what must be 200 color and black and white photocard-style glued in photos of Hitler and the party. Book includes the original 4-foot-long poster in the back of a Nazi Nuremberg Party Rally. The Beginning of the Struggle and Victory of the (NSDAP) National Socialist German Worker's Party. This is an example of the Cigarette Bilderdienst books of the Third Reich. These were issued as blank-paged albums as far as the pictures were concerned and when you bought a pack of Altoona cigarettes you found inside a coupon that you would then in turn send in to the company which issued the album and you would receive a packet of the Photographs that you would then paste in to the album. When you had all the packets you would complete the book and the proud patriotic family would have a highly thought-of souvenir that chronicled the history of the Kampfzeit (struggle to power). This is considered the hornbook of the Nazi movement in the early 1930's. The book was issued with strictly black-and-white pictures and then later it was issued with wonderful Agfa color. This one that we offer is the Black & White version. It has 151 pages with pictures ranging in size form 3 x 5ins, 5 x 3ins, 6.5ins x 5ins and several large, full-page pictures. It is an amazing photo collage of thousands and thousands of the uniformed ranks of the party functionaries, the SS, SA, and political-leader corps. The picture is in a word astounding and the picture clarity is wonderful. The pictures inside are great; both the black and whites. Here before you is the whole saga of the Third Reich from its inception on through the putsch, the elections, the martyrs, the stalwarts of the SS and SA, the achievements of the NSDAP, the rallies, the leaders, etc. We describe all items to the best of our ability as we are not experts on everything.
