here are 2 US wartime propaganda books for sale. Bothare hardbound and in excellent condition. First is the ominously titled 'Education for Death-The Making of the Nazi', by Gregor Ziemer, written in 1941. This book was the basis for one of the anti German films from the 40s. The book is very interesting--it's mainly about the youth orgainzations--DJ,HJ, JM, BdM, and appears to be written by someone who was actually there and experienced the day to day life of the children. If you ignore the anti German attitude, there's some very useful information about what the yourh actualy experienced, classes in school, camp, Landjahr, etc.
LUFTWAFFE BOOK IS ON HOLDThe second book is 'the Luftwaffe--its Rise and Fall' written in 1943 by someone using the pseudonym 'Hauptmann Herrmann'. According to the book, he was a WWI German pilot who later worked as an engineer at Junckers, knew Hugo Junckers, Udet, Milch, Messerschmidt, Dornier, Heinkel, etc. It does not read like a fictional work but like a narrative by someone who was actually there and took part in discussions with the highest levels of individuals, including Goering, Hitler, etc.
I have no idea what these should go for--I've seen Education for Death listed at over $100.00, which I think is dreaming.
For association members, I'll offer these at $65.00 for the 2 books, and I'll pay domestic shipping.
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
