    Mein Kampf document

    Maybe just a page out of a book or an advertisement for an event. But I would be interested to know what this says. Anyone help?

    Thanks

      You got a flyer advertisement for Mein Kampf. It's special because this must have been printed in spring 1939, just before Hitler's 50th birthday. It's advertising the Jubilee Edition in blue leather (at the bottom), besides the other ediotions. On the back, the second reason to celebrate: A total of 5 million copies printed (that would be in German only). Until the end of the war more than 12 million copies were printed.

        Very interesting and thanks for the information. Did you notice that on the back of the flyer, the announcement is a seperate piece of paper?

          Yes, I did. I wonder what's beneath it.

            Only the top portion is attached to the paper, so looking under it......... there is nothing there .

              Actually Ganzleder is full leather rather than blue leather. You can see that there is an edition advertised as halbleder (half leather) as well.

                  Everyone who is somewhat familiar with the editions of Mein Kampf knows that the Jubilee Edition for Hiter's 50th birthday has a full blue leather binding. The half leather editions have only a leather spine.

                    Is there any collectable value in this document? If so, what is a fair price?

                    Thanks

                        Considering the condition and the fact it's just a page torn from some magazine - as you have pointed out correctly - it's of marginal value only IMO.

                          Fascinating!
