WWI – Manfred von Richtofen – ‘The Red Baron’ Der Rote Kampfflierger first edition 1917 signed to inside cover in pencil by von Richtofen ‘Frhr v Richthofen Rittmeister’. Excessively rare. This was Richtofen’s autobiography written in October 1917 while he was recovering from a serious head injury following an engagement with Captain Donald Cunnell of 20 Squadron RFC (who was killed a few days later). Von Richtofen wrote the book on the instructions of the German propaganda division and was heavily censored and edited. He later repudiated the book saying that it was ‘too arrogant’ and that he was ‘no longer that kind of person’ but he was not able to produce a second and revised edition as he was killed the following April. We have only been able to trace one further signed copy of this book appearing at auction in the last 25 years (lot 221 Sotheby’s sale May 28th 1986)
WWII – Hitler – Mein Kampf the excessively rare English translation produced by the Nazis. This copy bearing the stamp of the Stalag 357 Prisoner of War Camp. We have been unable to trace another copy of this version of Mein Kampf on the market at the present time. The fact that it has been stamped with the mark of a POW camp could indicate that it was intended as a means of propaganda to turn gullible British POWs towards the Nazi cause. Stalag 357 was famous for the ‘long march’ when in March 1945 after the allies have crossed the Rhine 12 000 POWs were forced to march to a ‘destination unknown’ in columns of 2 000 strong. The men were hungry cold and tired out and Warrant Officer James ‘Dixie’ Deans who had been elected as the POWs leader finally persuaded the German command to let him go to find the allied advancing troops – he eventually reached the allied lines and thus Stalag 357 became one of the first to be liberated – though not before the RAF thinking the columns of men were German troops had opened fire on them killing 60. This particularly edition of Mein Kampf is considered of such rarity that only one other copy is known to exist. Please refer to : www.hitler-library.org/Mein-Kampf-Collectors-Guide.pdf
WWII – Heinrich Himmler – ephemera fine presentation certificate on a leaf of vellum given to Himmler by the people of Quedlinburg ‘in appreciation and since gratitude for his tireless research into the home of our ancestral heritage...’ dated July 1st 1937. Written in an attractive calligraphic script in black ink highlighted in gold and signed by the Oberburgermeister of the Town. The certificate features two finely executed vignettes showing the exterior of the Cathedral at Quedlinburg and the grave of King Heinrich I. Some age creases and a few very slight blemishes to text but otherwise in generally good condition. A document of considerable interest in the history of the mysticism which surrounded the Nazis and the SS in particular. The certificate commemorates Himmler’s particular association with the town and the grave of King Heinrich I who ruled Germany from AD919-936. Himmler took a special interest in the history of his namesake and made a high profile propaganda visit to the grave of the dead King in the previous year in which he gave a seminal speech. Himmler asserted that Adolf Hitler was the earthly inheritor of the human and political spirit of the long dead King – and thus tried to convey that Nazism had its foundations in ancient history and the whole philosophy of German nationalism. Himmler also bizarrely believed that he was in fact the reincarnation of Heinrich I – and that the dead King was the founder of the Ayrian race. An extremely rare piece of historical evidence on the origins of Nazism
WWII – The Holocaust ‘Trau keinem Fuchs auf gruner heid und keinem Jud bei seinem eid’ [Don’t trust a fox on the green heather nor a Jew by his oath] by E Bauer. This excessively rare book is considered by far the worst anti-Semitic book every published mainly for its naked and aggressive attack on the Jews via lurid illustrations in garish colours but also because it’s author was an 18 year old girl – and of course it was produced as a children’s book. The publisher was Julius Streicher whose anti-Semitic excesses were so awful that they even enraged leading Nazis such as Goering. The book contains a total of 21 full page cartoons somewhat crudely drawn but each with a powerful message to children that the Jew was not to be trusted and the Jewish people were responsible for the ills and depravations of the German people – images include a top hated fat man walking away with a fair haired German girl with promises of trinkets – but from the look on his face with clear sexual intent on his mind. There is also the Jewish butcher selling substandard meat in his filthy shop and the Jewish accountant who swindles the hard working German farming couple. Streicher couldn’t resist a part in all of this and two of the illustrations are blatant examples of self propaganda – one showing children gathering around a public display of his vile newspaper ‘Der Sturmer’ and the other showing him in Nazi uniform being greeted by a throng of delighted children. Each illustration is accompanied by a suitably worded message written in verse so that the average German child could easily get the bed-time message. Copies of this book are naturally excessively rare on the market. At the downfall of Hitler it would not have been wise to have kept a copy and as such it remains one of the rarest books available.

WWII - Nazi propaganda remarkable handbill issued by the Germans to British troops under the headline ‘Germany strictly observing Geneva Convention’ and extolling the wonderful treatment troops would receive if they became POWs: ‘...you will be transferred to a Stalag (permanent camp). The Stalags are up to date camps with all conveniences. The food is prepared in modern kitchen... besides you are allowed to receive a package every week through the International Red Cross. You will be housed in clean airy rooms which you may decorate according to your own tastes...you will be given opportunity to learn a trade^ to improve yourself in your own profession and you can even acquire a university degree...all Stalags have athletic fields and modern sporting equipment.
