Original German WWII Lot of Seven Miniature "Der Führer" Propaganda Photo Books

Original Items: One Set of Seven Available. During the early NSDAP period in Germany, propaganda was deemed of utmost importance to develop a solid hold on the government of the country. Many items were published detailing the leaders of the NSDAP, as well as their daily lives, into which snippets of NSDAP ideology were injected. These little 1 7/8" x 1 3/8" books are mostly full of photos, with just a bit of commentary, and appear to have come as part of a variety of different "series".

This set includes:
- FOUR Der Führer macht Geſchichte (The Führer makes history) books, dated 1933, 1934, 1936, and 1937. The 1933 edition notably shows the famous picture of President Paul von Hindenburg shaking Adolf H's hand, while the 1937 edition shows Adolf H meeting Mussolini.
- One Der Führer und das Winterhilfswerk (The Führer and the Winter Relief Fund) book.
- One Der Führer und Muſſolini (The Führer and Mussolini) book.
- One Der Führer und ſeine Heimat (The Führer and his homeland) book.

All the books are in very nice condition, and still retain the original strings on the back. Ready to research and display!

NSDAP Party

The NSDAP, officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), was a far-right political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that created and supported the ideology of N**ism. Its precursor, the German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920. The Party emerged from the extremist German nationalist, racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the communist uprisings in post–World War I Germany. The party was created to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism. Initially, N**i political strategy focused on anti–big business, anti‑bourgeois, and anti‑capitalist rhetoric. This was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders, and in the 1930s the party's main focus shifted to antisemitic and anti‑Marxist themes.

Ad**f Hi**er, the party's leader since 1921, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. Hitl** rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich. Following the defeat of the Third Reich at the end of World War II in Europe, the party was "declared to be illegal" by the Allied powers, who carried out denazification in the years after the war both in Germany and in territories occupied by NSDAP forces. The use of any symbols associated with the party is now outlawed in many European countries, including Germany and Austria.
