WEHRMACHT SOLDIER'S EASTERN FRONT PHOTO ALBUMCloth bound photo album, 44pp. 13 1/4" x 10 1/2", containing 230 b/w photographs and snapshots chronicling the prewar life, training, and Eastern Front service of a particular unnamed Heer soldier and his comrades. Several individual portraits of this soldier, both in uniform and in civilian clothing, appear on the first few pages of the album, and the same individual is identifiable in other group shots with his unit throughout the album. The first section of the album appears to depict the beginning of this soldier's term of service, including images of a church service and training in a winter setting, after which the setting quickly and identifiably shifts to the eastern Front during Operation Barbarossa in August, 1941. The remainder of the album includes many images of enemy dead, artillery bombardments seen from a distance, destroyed or captured Russian BT-7 tanks, the wreckage of German aircraft on a railroad flatcar, captured Russian biplanes and a Tupolev SB bomber at an airfield, German graves and a funeral service, German and Russian foxholes and trenches, Russian soldiers surrendering with hands raised, columns of Russian POWs, a group shot of Russian prisoners smiling along with their German captors and, most oddly, what appears to be a World War I-vintage British Mark V tank; there are records of Mark V's being used in the defense of Tallinn during the initial German invasion in 1941, although whether this is one of those tanks cannot be verified. Included with the album are several loose photos, one of which depicts the soldier to whom the album belonged, now an NCO, obviously photographed following his first tour of duty, with an Infantry Assault Badge and a Wound Badge visible on his tunic. The differences in his expression and demeanor between the early photos and this later portrait are a striking record of the effect of combat on a person. All in all, a fine album with numerous unusual and intriguing images.
"GROSSE ANTIBOLSCHEWISTISCHE AUSSTELLUNG" EXHIBITION GUIDE BOOK Rare guide book to the "Great Anti-Communist Exhibition" of 1937, 50pp. 8vo., issued by the Ministry of Propaganda with a foreword and frontis portrait of Joseph Goebbels. This book was sold at the exhibition during the 1937 Reichsparteitag. The exhibit intended to draw attention to the goals of international communism but actually it was staged to portray all of international communism as the work of Jews. Jews are shown as automatons, methodically covering the earth with their concepts of race-mixing, military and economic conquest, monetary manipulation and the exploitation of the masses, and therefore enemies that had to be eradicated. The exhibition also traced the Jewish influence in world historical events from the French Revolution through the establishment of the Communist structure in the Soviet Union. Fine condition.
