Adolf Hitler (propoganda?) book:

My husband's father, an American soldier in Germany during WWII, brought this book out of the country as a 'souvenier'. My MIL recently gave it to my husband and we're curious as to its history. It seems to me to be a propoganda book that any German family might have owned - the photographs inside are independent of the page and remind me of the type you'd collect and glue in.

I'd love to hear if anyone knows anything about the book. For those interested, here are pictures of it:

The book isn't in the best condition but, on the other hand, not in the worst condition, either. The whole of it is in German so I have no idea what it says, either (although I could go to Alta Vista "Babel Fish" and put in blocks at a time if I wanted to, I suppose).

Looks like this

GPR-010 German NSDAP Adolf Hitler 1936 Reference Book


$150 bucks worth. The bottom photos look like the Nuremberg Rallies.

Thanks, Yoko, you hit it right on the nose.

Snyder's Treasures llook like a real treat for Nazis old and new. *YUK*
Nice to read so many "great", "excellent" and valued books, pity the one about the history of the jews is sold already

The pricing, by the way, is much higher than anything you yourself could get from selling, spedbug (not counting the papal VW Golf)

That Book Looks Amazing!!!!

Are you going to/have you read it???? Or is it all in German?

Apparently, according to miketrollstigen's translation from one of the photos, above, it's sickening pro-Nazi propoganda.
