The most important book in all of Nazi Germany during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler was not Mein Kampf, but the historic book offered here. The Organisationsbuch der NSDAP or Nazi Party Organization Book measures 6-1/4 x 8-1/2 x 1-1/4 inches thick and contains about 650 pages of profusely illustrated information about the membership, political leadership, uniforms, symbols, insignia, service requirements, flags, standards, daggers, swords, and other equipment of the many paramilitary units that made up the NSDAP or Nazi Party.

Each paramilitary group, such as the SA, SS, HJ, NSKK, RAD, etc., is dissected and explained so that anyone who had the need could understand all the specifics of how it was organized, the uniforms its members wore, and the requirements and responsibilities of membership in it.

All Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP or National Socialist German Workers Party) offices such as those of the Propaganda Leader, Press Chief, Foreign Press Chief, Racial-Political Office, Office for Genealogy, Law Office and Main Archive are fully explained.

The organization of every block, every cell, local group, area group and regional group of the Nazi Party throughout Germany is described and depicted (left) in perfect detail in amazing charts and perspective illustrations. Exactly as prescribed by Nazi organizational genius, Dr. Robert Ley.

This is the earliest example of this rare book, the first 1936 edition, in virtually unused condition with only minor cover wear from storage. There is no ownership stamp or name written in this book.

There are chapters devoted to clarifying questions about the State Chamber of Culture (Reichskulturkammer or RKK), Economics, Traffic, Student Organizations and the KdF Community of the German Labor Front. There are chapters related to laws that protected the Reich, protected the NSDAP, protected German Blood and Honor, the flag and even the Nazi eagle and swastika insignia. The back of the book contains the entire concept of “Blood Mixing” in detail with ten graphic easy to understand charts.

The book opens with a Hitler portrait frontispiece facing the title page. There is a comprehensive index followed by a foreword by Adolf Hitler, a few words by Rudolf Hess and an introduction by Nazi Organizations Leader Dr. Robert Ley.

The part played by Dr. Ley in organizing the rag-tag political party Hitler dreamed up, is without parallel in 20th century history and is poorly understood today. The NSDAP could not have existed without Dr. Ley, and no one should attempt to discuss, write, or lecture on the subject of Nazi Germany without first gaining a good grounding with regard to Dr. Ley and this First Edition of his most important rare book. It is absolutely fundamental to any understanding of the Nazi Party or any aspect of the history of the country of Germany from 1920 to the present day.

There are over 70 full-page, full-color plates (on heavy paper) that depict virtually every conceivable Nazi flag, uniform and insignia from the Führer Standard and Blood Order to the SS Honor Ring, and from the Hitler Youth leader's dagger and sailor suits to Reichsarbeitsdienst Gorgets. There is a picture of a Nazi nurse in uniform, an Honor Pistol (a Walther PPK) and its holster, musicians uniforms, etc. There are patterns for official Nazi Party office signs, special armbands for the Reichsparteitag (Nazi Party Day), the Honor Badges of various Gaue and early Nazi Party Days. It has been said that Germans in general have a tendency to “over-explain the obvious” and this book leaves no Nazi Party organization question unanswered. It perfectly fulfilled its sole purpose.

The Organisationsbuch der NSDAP was not for public consumption and it was not for sale in bookstores in Nazi Germany. Naturally, it was considered extremely dangerous by the victorious Allies when they occupied Germany at the end of World War II. Copies of this book were confiscated and destroyed by the tens of thousands with the result that only relatively few originals survived the war and very few example of the rare 1936 First Edition survived complete and in fine condition.

This original NSDAP Organization Book is from the 1st edition of 1936, and is in very nice condition, no odor. It is complete with the - frequently missing - portrait photo of Adolf Hitler opposite the title page. The color plates were printed on fine quality white paper and are still in excellent bright white condition. The black & white illustrations in all editions were printed on the same a less expensive paper as the text and have of course, yellowed since this book was printed 84 years ago. There is little wear to the red, cloth bound hard covers, however there is a light discoloration along the front edge of the spine.
