Interesting early Nazi Party photo album/scrap book I found from local vet

[Eric Queen]

This isn't really my area but I thought this piece was really interesting. A friend of mine who owns a local shop specializing in antique pottery/porcelain told me about a man who came in wanting to sell some vases which he said he took from a "nazi's house" during the war. My friend asked if he brought back any militaria and he said that he had taken an album out of the house as well. I was able to buy the ablum through my friend and will show the first couple of pages of it here. It belonged to a man named Ludwig Liebel. From what I can tell by going throug it so far is, that he was pretty well thought of within the party, especially locally in Contwig, and was quite close to Hitler. There are about 200 pages which are crammed full of photos, internal communiques, handbills for speaches, signatures, etc. The album starts in 1928 and I will post the first couple of pages. If any interest in seeing more let me know. Comments are welcome because as I say this is not my area and I really don't know what I am looking at.

Thanks

I thought the "kaput" was interesting

[Ken Jasper]

Fantastic album; please keep the photos coming.

Can't read all the inscription off the scan on "Kaput," but it looks like he was a Nazi "martyr" (SA Standard bearer) rather than a Röhm Purge "good riddance"... so the disrespect shown by scribbling on his face is... rather interesting!
