WWII – Hitler – Mein Kampf First Edition 1925 special presentation copy signed and dedicated by Hitler to Hermann Esser one of the founding members of the Nazi Party and a fellow inmate with Hitler in Landsberg Prison – limited edition copy this being no 19 with further signature of Hitler to limitation page. Vellum covered boards slight spotting to covers but otherwise in near mint condition. This is probably the rarest copy of Hitler’s book which will ever appear at auction. Hitler’s autograph dedication signed to Esser appears on the inside cover and is written in similar style to the two dedicated copies we have sold in these rooms in the past two years. The previous two copies we have sold were presentation versions of the final version of Mein Kampf which comprised two parts bound in one volume. This was published in 1926. The present volume is however a special limited edition copy of the excessively rare first edition of the book which contained only the first part of the finished work. This was published in 1925 shortly after Hitler emerged from Landsberg Prison where he wrote the work. This was only produced in a total edition of 500 copies – making it an excessively rare book in its own right. However the first few copies were also produced as here, in a special limited edition with cream vellum boards and gilt embossed title to spine. These copies were only given to the closest possible people to Hitler in the emerging Nazi party who had furthermore been with Hitler in prison following the failed Bierkeller Putsch. This copy was given to Esser as a Christmas present on Christmas Eve 1925 with a dedication which reads in part [trans.] ‘...Hermann Esser the good old comrade on the occasion of Christmas 1925...’ Esser (1900-1981) joined the Nazi party with Hitler in 1920 and became the editor of the party’s newspaper ‘Volkischer Beobachter’ and a Nazi member of the Reichstag. In the early history of the party he was Hitler’s de facto deputy. He took part in the Bierkeller Putsch and was excluded from the party for a short period when the party was lead by the Strassers. But he was reinstated by Hitler and became influential in the reorganisation of the party from 1929 until its rise to power in 1933. It is unlikely that another copy of the first edition of Mein Kampf similarly dedicated to a founding member of the Nazi party will appear in the market.

This was presented to Mussolini when he made his ground breaking tour of German cities in the year before the outbreak of WWII. Stock’s book on the life of Wagner obviously received Nazi approval. Mussolini was given number 6 in the limited edition of 10 – the first one naturally went to Hitler himself
