1939réf. 222j3127Berlin Germany: M. Muller & Sohn K.G. Good No dust jacket as issued. First English Edition. Pamphlet. "Members of the Reichstag! When six years ago on this evening tens of thousands of National Socialist fighters marched through the Brandenburg Gate to the light of their torches to express to me their feeling of overwhelming joy and their vows as faithful followers countless anxious eyes all over Germany gazed upon the the beginning of a development the end of which still seemed unknown and unpredictable. I received only a little over a third of all votes cast. The other twenty million were scattered among about 35 other parties. The only thing that united them was their common hatred of our young movement. This united the priests of the Centre Party and Communist atheists the Socialists out to abolish private property capitalists and conservatives. During the long battle of National Socialism for the leadership of the country they had all come together in defence of their interests and had made common cause with Jewry. The complete picture of the extent of the collapse in that period is gradually fading away. It seemed that only a miracle could save Germany. To the Jews and the other enemies of the State however it appeared to be the last flicker of the national power of resistance. They felt that when it had disappeared then they would be able to destroy not only Germany but all Europe as well." - paraphrased from pages 3-4. "During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance the Jewish race which only received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State and that I would then among other things settle the Jewish problem. Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war then the result will not be the bolshevization of the earth and thus the victory of Jewry but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!" - page 42.

réf. 6New York City: Stackpole Editions 1939. 8vo 669 p. original black cloth stamped in silver. First edition and the first true unexpurgated edition of Mein Kampf published in the United States. Stackpole's issue of Mein Kampf triggered a major legal battle with Houghton Mifflin which had acquired copyright in 1933. Stackpole argued that because Hitler was technically "stateless" having renounced his Austrian citizenship in 1925 before obtaining German citizenship in 1932 he was not covered by U.S. copyright law. Under this theory Stackpole claimed the text was in the public domain and promoted their edition on the basis that they would pay no royalties to Hitler from AI overview. Stackpole eventually lost the lawsuit and was ordered to destroy their remaining inventory after having sold around 12000 copies. As a result the Stackpole edition is uncommon on the market. This is a nice copy with two scuff marks to cloth to front board boards very slightly bowed light soiling to page ends some light scuffing to front page ends; front endpaper lightly soiled; some minor rounding to corners but in all an uncommonly nice copy of a truly scarce item rarely found in this condition.

réf. 72826E-140. Very Good. Paperback. Trade PB. 8vo. Published by Reginald Glossop London UK. 1932. 227 pgs. Issued in illustrated stiff-paper wrappers. Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Lengthy inscription on half title addressed to "Reich Kanzler Hitler with with compliments of the author." Book includes laid in note on the letterhead of Richard W. Van Wagenen 1923-2003 a former dean of American University's graduate school who retired in 1977 as a World Bank education and training specialist. Note reads: "Liberated from the shelves of a sort of library-closet in Hitler's Chancellory sic in Berlin late July 1945. R. W. VW." Uncommon in its own right this future war novel involving a tunnel under the British Channel would have been very much in keeping with the Aryan ideological model espoused by the Nazi Party. The note suggests the book was taken when the Chancellery was stormed by Allied forces in April 1945 during which time GIs took what souvenirs they could from the Fuhrer's domain. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . paperback

This copy belonged originally to the prisoners' library 'Lagerbucherei' at Dachau. Now almost forgotten this unlikely library was installed in Barracks 10 along with the infirmary and a sort of canteen. It was conceived as early as October 1933 by an imprisoned publisher Heinrich Bergmann who somehow obtained permission from the commandant Theodor Eicke to set up a lending-library for 'privileged' prisoners. For his part Eicke supplied some books predictable Nazi fare including presumably the present volume. To these were added some tractates and Jesuit relations seconded from a nearby Roman Catholic library and later literature history geography polonica &c from various sources. Perhaps the library appealed to Eicke's sense of Dachau as a 'model' camp or perhaps it was just a bit of practical penology controlling the many by meting out 'privileges' to the few. In any case the prisoners' library became a center of subversive activity within the camp particularly under its later librarians Kurt Schumacher and Viktor Matejka and by 1945 the library held some 15000 volumes: Some of these were carted off into the old town of Dachau where a former prisoner named Albert Zeitler set up a small lending-library in Augsburgerstrasse and the rest were simply scattered among surviving prisoners or mostly lost. Today these books are so rare on the market that the leading historian of concentration-camp libraries has never heard of one. Munich: Verlag Franz Eher Nachfolger GmbH, 1933 hardcover
