There were thousands of men of Jewish descent Mischling and hundreds more of what the Nazis called "full Jew" serving in the army while their families were exterminated at the same time causing psychological trauma for most of them while keeping it a secret for the rest of their lives. The American author Bryan Mark Rigg has documented the Jewish ancestry of more than 1200 of Hitler's soldiers including two field marshals and ten generals some of whom were awarded the Knight's Cross Nazi Germany's highest military honor. Hitler himself had signed declarations that these soldiers were of German blood. These soldiers often believed that they were helping to save the lives of Jewish relatives. "Many while they were fighting their parents were being deported anyway." Rigg. Some 2300 relatives of a group of 1000 soldiers documented by Riggs were killed by the Nazis. See Bryan Mark Rigg "Lives of Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: Untold Tales of Men of Jewish Descent Who Fought for the Third Reich. University Press of Kansas 2009 Hoffmann in his letter September 13 1943 to Rabbi Max Koppel writes: "Dear Doctor You'll be astonished by my lines because I've lost every connection to my relatives who as far as I know are now in America. That is why I am approaching you confidentially with the request to help me in this matter. My father's name is Samuel Felix and comes from Austria-Hungary where we owned a large dye and weaving factory. My father has lived last in Cologne at the Rhine where he owned a textile wholesale. Due to his Jewish faith the events in Germany forced him to flee. I myself took on another name. Maybe I could ask you to visit me here or to send a representative since it is impossible in my situation to convey everything to you by letter. To facilitate this a permission has to be obtained from Washington. Hoping to get a confirmation of receipt of my letter. With sincere regards Willibald Hoffmann" POW Camp McCain was established in the Granada district of Mississippi USA in 1942 originally as a training camp for American infantry bound to join the fighting in Europe. During the war more that 7700 German prisoners of war were held in the camp. They were put to work in the cotton fields of the Mississippi delta. The camp operated until October of the year 1944. The addressee Rabbi Max Koppel was born in Mönchengladbach Germany in 1905. A graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau JTS and the universities of Breslau and Würzburg he served as a Rabbi in Hirschberg today Jelenia Góra in Poland and Berlin and was an educator at the Joseph Lehmann school of the Reform community in Berlin.

Volumes 2 3 and 4 were published in 2 parts each; volume 1 is here bound as two volumes this was a convenience introduced by the binder because of the length of the second section of text in the first volume. This is not designated on the title page of the first volume later volumes are clearly printed with a part number subordinate to the volume number. The binder in this instance inserted the fly-title before the text of the second section that constitutes this additional volume. The following Roman numerals designate the volume numbers in conformity with the printed title pages. I - xxiv 1 - 349 1 - blank 2 - fly-title 353 - 685 1 - errata 2 - adverts pp. folding table; II1 - 4 1 - 382 pp.; II2 - x 1 - 322 2 - adverts pp.; III1 - iv 1 - 339 1 - errata pp.; III2 - 2 3 - 311 1 - blank pp.; IV1 - 2. 3 - 288 pp.; IV2 - x 2 3 - 208 xiv 1 - 58 209 - 245 index 1 - errata pp. There are also two sheets of detailed contemporary notes that are bound in. One dealing with gold and another with a peculiar mineral formation found formed as a nodule accompanied by a hand drawn illustration in the Italian Alps. There is also a 13 line note on the verso of the front free endpaper of volume one that faces the title page and runs on to it below the imprint. The note discusses the "bequem" format of the 8 volume binding of the book; it is signed: E. v. Uechtritz. Inspector of precious stones Hoffmann studied at the Freiberg Bergakademie under A.G. Werner ". the great oracle of the sciences of the earth" Hoover catalog quoting Cuvier. "Very scarce" Schuh. This work is one of the greatest encyclopedias of Werner's mineral theories ever published. It was the only authorized publication of Werner's mineral system. It was begun by Hoffmann who died after the first two volumes were published and continued by August Breithaupt who completed the third and fourth volumes. In this monumental treatise the Wernerian doctrine of mineralogy is propounded in its most detailed presentation. The authors accept all of Werner's theories concerning mineral formation and classification and include numerous illustrative examples. The text is generous in its treatment of the subject sometimes devoting long detailed sections to minute points. Werner did not publish much on his theories but his students and followers insured that his ideas would reach a larger audience by their own works following his guidelines. The first volume provides a short history of mineralogy definitions descriptions of physical properties including color optics streak hardness specific weight transparency luster and crystal form chemical characteristics the use of the blow-pipe nomenclature and a synopsis of the classification system. Later volumes contain essentially a descriptive mineralogy; all that was known was included in the descriptions.

Very Good with light shelf wear a few volumes have staining to the covers else fine. Various ephemera laid-in including a note relating to his Czech passport numbered receipts from clients insurance cards pay scale rate cards applications for work letters of intent from prospective employees. An incredibly meticulously logged diary archive into the life and work of noteworthy London architect Paul Hoffmann likely born in Vienna in 1869 passing away in 1938. He was notably involved in Queen's Gate mansion blocks the Philimore Estate and Earl's Court in early 1900. In tiny ink script he kept a diligent yearly diary of his work until just ten days before his death on August 19th 1938 detailing his professional relationships as an architect nearly every day for four decades except Sundays. Includes names of clients colleagues and accounts of his projects. As for what he did in his spare time an intriguing 1902 article in the Anglo-American Press mentions that he was also a librettist and author of the opera "The Little Innocents" under the pen name Hugh Stranger. Hoffmann designed and maintained Capel House in 1905-06 now Cable House in London at 56 New Broad Street. His journal entries describe his work at Capel House including the annual building costs over the years applications for work at the House architect's insurance and more. Not only does this archive describe the day-to-day tasks of a busy architect but also keeps log of the outbreak of WWI from a Londoner's perspective. His diaries kept between 1914-1918 log important WWI dates. He declares that the "Banks are closed due to 'war scare' on July 31st1914. He logs that "Germany declares war on England" on August 5th 1914. An insurance slip by "The Government Scheme of Aircraft and Bombardment Insurance" laid-in his 1916 diary charged his account 1500 pounds on the 1st of February to insure Capel House from air raids. On June 13th 1917 he writes "Airplane bombs in city" -- later on the 7th of July he writes "2 airplane raids over London." He writes on Armistice Day November 11 1918 "Armistice between Germany & Allies unchanged." In the interim of air raids and bombings he still keeps a daily log of calls meetings and projects. One of his most noteworthy projects Roxburgh Mansions Kensington London constructed in 1899 were eventually destroyed in The Blitz of WWII. A remarkable archive for enthusiasts of late 19th & early 20th century London architecture. [No publisher] unknown books
