Description
One of the earliest Heinrich Hoffmann photo books on Adolf Hitler is "Jugend um Hitler" (Youth Around Hitler). The 7 x 10 inch, 96 page very heavily illustrated softcover book was published by Verlag Heinrich Hoffmann in Berlin, Germany in 1934 with the intention of countering the enormous anti-Hitler propaganda then being circulated around the world in the foreign press. Many of the big clear photos were taken at the Berghof on the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden but there are also pictures taken in East Prussia, Hessen, Odenwald, Württemberg and Hannover. Many show SS, SA and other Nazi personalities other than the Führer, such as Sepp Dietrich, Baldur von Schirach, Viktor Lütze, Julius Schreck, etc. The 120 rare photos by Reichsbildberichtstatter der NSDAP Heinrich Hoffmann were made before 1934 when many of those in Nazi uniforms wore World War I medals and Day Bagdes. In very good condition.****************IMPORTANT! We ship this article from our office in Europe****************
