Original Third Reich propaganda book titled “Vom 30. Januar zum 21. März”, a period publication documenting the rise of the National Socialist regime from 30 January 1933 to 21 March 1933 (the “Day of Potsdam”).

This is a very attractive large-format hardcover edition with striking blue cover and gilt title. The book is richly illustrated throughout with numerous period photographs showing key political and ceremonial events of the early Third Reich.

Overall a very desirable display and research piece in nice collectible condition.

Original wartime photographic commemorative book titled “Damals – Erinnerungen an grosse Tage der SS-Totenkopf-Division im Französischen Feldzug 1940”, published by Chr. Belser Verlag, Stuttgart.

This large-format period publication documents the campaign of the SS-Totenkopf-Division during the 1940 French campaign and contains numerous wartime photographs, battle imagery, and propaganda-style presentation material from the early years of the war.

The book retains its original illustrated cover featuring a German soldier standing atop an armored vehicle marked “Orléans.” Interior title pages remain clean and attractive, showing the distinctive period typography and divisional references.

Condition is overall good considering age, with visible period wear, edge wear, creasing, and some damage to the outer cover and spine area. Interior pages remain well preserved and display very nicely. The cover is damaged (little side missing) and reverse is loose!

An increasingly difficult-to-find original wartime divisional publication with strong historical and display appeal.

Sold on commission.

Original matching two-volume Olympic book set covering the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics and the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Olympics, complete with the scarce original period slipcase.

Included are:

• So Kämpfte und Siegte die Jugend der Welt – XI. Olympiade Berlin 1936
• Kampf und Sieg in Schnee und Eis – IV. Winterolympiade 1936

Both volumes were published by Verlag Knorr & Hirth G.m.b.H., München and contain extensive photographic coverage, reports, results, and historical documentation of the 1936 Olympic Games held in Germany.

The books remain in good overall condition with normal age and handling wear. The original slipcase is present, which is often missing, and shows expected storage wear from age. Interiors remain well preserved and highly displayable.

An attractive and increasingly difficult-to-find complete Olympic set from the 1936 Games, especially desirable with both matching volumes and original case intact.

Sold on commission.
