Original German WWII Named NSDAP 7th Edition Organization Book With Extensive Color Plates - Published 1943

Original Item: Only One Available. This is the 7. Auflage (7th Edition) of the Organiſationsbuch der NSDAP. (Organization Book of the NSDAP) and was published in 1943, well into WWII. We usually only see pre-war printings of this book, as by this time during the war these appear to have been printed in fewer numbers. The rear of the title page indicates that it is 7. Auflage : 301.—400. Tauſend (7th Edition : 301-400 Thousand) though we do not know if that is the total number of books, or just how far it is into this edition. The book contains over 500 pages of the structure and organization of the NSDAP party and contains extensive color plates of insignia, flags and uniforms of all the elements under the Party. Measures 6"W x 8 1/2"H x 1 1/2".

The book is in very good used condition, and does not look to have been read much during the war. There is little rounding to the page corners or the cover, though there is some deformation of the rear cover. The binding appears fully intact, with some small holes and tears on the cloth spine cover. Definitely one of the best condition examples of these that we have ever had!

This book was the official NSDAP party guide published by Reichsorganisationsleiter der NSDAP, Dr. Robert Ley, describing in great detail the structure of the NSDAP and all its sub-organizations like no other book that was published in Germany between 1933 and May 1945. The book was never for public sale and only for party officials and offices. There are about 80 full color plates with uniforms, awards, banners, etc. plus countless other black and white illustrations in the text. A great reference book and must have for every collector of historical Third Reich material.
