very early nsdap book

[Michael Fay]

Hello, I may begin to show some of my books. First off: "Nationalsozialistisches Jahrbuch 1926" with a stemple mark. Herausgegen im Auftrage der NSDAP
Deutsche osterreichs von Leo Haubenberger. 2 pages in it also has the stemple stamp mark of : Hauptarchive der NSDAP Munchen. Nr. 440/45.
No pictures or photos. Seems to have the german months named in the standard way, along with more ancient Germanic pagan names that Darre later on tried to promote such as November/Nebelung.

This kind of book is not found anywhere on book sites or militaria sites, and has not for quite awhile. So please tell me about this book.
Thanks, Michael

rare early year book

Since no one is adding any info with the exception of PMers(-thanks) , I started searching some more and it appears this book is very rare. Not even German, --but Austrian, no less (-with Munich NSDAP stamp though-so it may have been a reference copy in the Munich NSDAP office library-if they were even big enough to have a library yet). Got to wonder how many of these 1926 books for either Germany or Austria are still in existance at all. So early it is even pre Eher Verlag ! The publisher was: Volkischen Buchhandlung. it appears Eher took over the publishing rights in 1927. One site claims these books were thrown away every year with the new publication , as they were considered obsolete. So does any one also have some of these? Does any one out there collect these books?

Well, I can't add any info, but can say: Great find! There's got to be some good early reference material in there.

Thanks Hank. The funny thing was when I purchased it "sight unseen" I hoped it would be somthing different. But now I can't complain... 1926 is early! to me ,1926 is so far removed from the year 1933, I mean it was not in any way certain that the nsdap would survive the political wars. What bleak times...private armies shooting it out on side streets...political terrorist groups with occult/ pagan esoteric underpinnings vs. the utopian vision of atheist brotherhood of workers. Weimar sex shows and refugee White Russian Monarchists telling tales of world conspiracy....What a time. What a time.

NSDAP yearbooks are quite rare, but to my knowledge they are not much sought after. 1926 is early, this is still a booklet only. I have seen only book size before, I believe 1927 or 1929.

Why do you thing this is from Austria ? The tile just says "NSDAP Organisation in Austria" ? Suggest you post better quality pictures.

As far as I could find out the 1926 edition was the first Jahrbuch the NSDAP ever published.

Hello Gerdan. Thanks for the research. At this time I think you may be correct.There really is not much in English on these books. Not much in Deutsch either as far as Ich Kennen.
Thanks, Michael

Seriously, I put the best ones up. I am not a photography expert.
