Monochrome photographic print measuring 6.5 x 4.5 inches (approx. 17 x 12 cms), a near fine copy. SIGNED BY KARL DONITZ IN BLUE PEN IN BLANK MARGIN. The print shows the vessel from the starboard quarter with one boat outboard on davits, one fender deployed and wearing the Kreigsmarine Empire ensign. Karl Donitz (1891-1980) was a leading Nazi and foremost admiral of the Nazi Kreigsmarine. During WWII he masterminded the U-Boat campaign against allied shipping; in 1945 he was nominated by Hitler as his successor. After Nuremburg he spent ten years in prison before retiring quietly near Hamburg until his death from natural causes in 1980. The Aviso Grille (1935-1951) was built as a state yacht for use by Hitler and other leading Nazi figures; should the Nazi invasion of England have succeeded, Grille was intended to convey Hitler and his entourage to London. Requisitioned by the British in 1945, she passed through a succession of private hands until finally being sold for scrap in 1951.

193918 parts, sm. 4to., First Edition thus, with very numerous photographs (many full-page) in the text; original pictorial wrappers printed in colours, wire-stitched as issued, Part 1 with wrappers present but detached, a bright, clean set now preserved in a custom-made burgundy buckram solander case with gilt back. COMPLETE SET OF THE FIRST UNEXPURGATED ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HITLER'S INFAMOUS TREATISE. Translated by James Murphy, it is also the first fully illustrated version in English, with many photographs, illustrations, advertisements and examples of British war propaganda throughout. The printing style of covers varies due to production costs; parts 1-7 are printed in red, yellow and black; parts 8-18 in red and black only. The publisher's blurb on front covers is hardly understated: 'the blue-print of German imperialism'; 'the most widely discussed book of the modern world'. It is ironic that the next statement is 'Royalties on all sales will go the British Red Cross Society'. During publication purchasers could choose from five different binding cases: 'when this work is complete you will say 'what a fine edition!' No case is present here, but we have had the set preserved for the future in a handsome, specially commissioned burgundy buckram solander case. COMPLETE SETS IN THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE VERY SCARCE.
