ref. 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.

1927247 pages. Black and white photographic frontis portrait of author. "This is a book written by a German after a war which brought defeat to his country and a great civilized people to a condition of dependence and subordination... The German Inflation can only be understood as part of the general history of the time. May we all learn from the past and emerge from the destructive era of reciprocal hostility into a new constructive period of international well-being." - from Foreward. Chapters include: The Inflation of the War Period; From the Armistice to the Invasion of the Ruhr; From the Invasion of the Ruhr to the Stabilization of the Mark; The Stabilization of the Mark; From Rentenbank to Golddiskontbank; From Currency Crisis to Economic Crisis; The Dawes Plan; The Reconstruction of German Money and Capital Markets; Foreign Credits; International Co-operation. "(Schacht) became one of the directors of the Reichsbank in 1916 and in 1923 became currency commissioner for the Reich. After his economic policies helped reduce German inflation and stabilize the German mark, Schacht was appointed president of the Reichsbank. He collaborated with other prominent figures in economics to form the Young Plan to modify the way that war reparations were paid after Germany's economy was destabilizing under the Dawes Plan. Though on March 7, 1930, six months after the beginning of the Great Depression, he stepped down from the position of Reichsbank Chairman, but returned on March 17, 1933 after Hitler's rise to power." - from wikipedia dot org.

ref. 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

1939231, [1] pages. 9.2" x 6.3". Waton (1871-1959) was a Jewish philosopher keenly interested in the works of Marx and Spinoza. In the Foreword, dated 1939, he states "I convinced myself that human society is irresistibly and inevitably moving towards state capitalism and fascism. Further reflection also convinced me that this social transformation would inevitably bring upon the Jews great suffering. How could the Jews face this world situation? This question occupied my mind for the last twelve years. At last I reached the conclusion which I embodied in a program for the Jews. When the Jews declared war against Nazi Germany and fascism (in 1933), I saw that as a suicidal policy. Thus passed more than five years of ever-increasing suffering for the Jews. When the situation became so grave that the Jews themselves began to realize the gravity of the situation, the Spinoza Institute of America asked me to formulate my program." On page 199 he adds "We have to face the fact that the Leader of the German people has no doubt in his mind that the Jewish problem is the centre of all problems, not merely in Germany, but in the world. It is useless to dismiss this as an illusion, because if it is, it demands explanation. But it is no illusion." Brilliant gilt lettering upon front board. Light external wear. Binding tight. Faint patches of soiling to boards. Occasional light pencil marginalia and underlining until page 21. Moderate age-toning to contents. It is left to readers to ponder the impact Waton's program could have had upon twentieth-century history. Book

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
