Photographs and captions cover the entire subject of HITLER as it was know in 1931 (years before the NSDAP came to power in Germany) from his birth house in Braunau am Inn just across the river from Germany, to the latest meetings of the Party faithful all across the country. A good deal of the mystique of the Nazis was first presented to the public in this book, even the description of Storm Troopers as "Quick as a Greyhound, Tenacious as Leather and Hard as Krupp Steel!"

Much of the photographic content of this book was not republished elsewhere and the text is unique, containing a great deal of curious information clearly written from a pro-Nazi point of view.

This 88 year old example of HITLER EINE BIOGRAPHIE is rarely offered for sale and is in very good condition complete with its original dust jacket. It is a FIRST EDITION of 20,000. No odor.

In 1931 Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler was well-known in Germany and becoming well-known elsewhere. The company Verlag Tradition Wilhelm Kolk in Berlin published a 160 page very heavily illustrated soft cover book by Hans Diebow and Kurt Goeltzer that year, which changed everything.

This book called simply HITLER measures about 7-1/2 x 10-1/2 inches. It was to be volume 1 in a series of books to include various personalities from the Pope and Mussolini to Thomas Edison. We know that HITLER and MUSSOLINI were published but we don't know about the others.

The HITLER book was framed in a stark red, white and black dust jacket with the SA uniformed subject flashing the famous Führer wave or salute. Every other page of the rare book is a large black & white photograph or two (there are over 130 photos in the book) and on the opposite page there is a well-written paragraph or so to explain the photos in German, English, Italian and French.
