Lurline that features cover art by Eugene Savage. There were four ocean liners christened S.S. Lurline by Matson Lines these menus were for the fourth ship with that name. The S.S. Lurline was a luxury ocean liner that would take passengers from the American West Coast to Hawaii and Australia. The Hawaiian port was Honolulu where most passengers would disembark the ship and make a beeline for Matson's renowned Waikiki hotel and resort the Royal Hawaiian. Eugene Francis Savage 1883-1978 was a trained sculptor and artist who was primarily known for his large murals. Savage was commissioned by Matson Navigation Lines to paint nine large 4' x 8' Hawaiian themed murals that were intended to be displayed on Matson ocean liners. These murals were completed in 1940 but due to American involvement in World Ward II the ships were dedicated to the war effort and the murals were never installed. In 1948 the Murals were used as covers for the menus on the S.S. Lurline. "When Captain James Cook British Royal Navy on January 20 1778 first came upon the Sandwich Islands later named Hawaii he was at the height of his fame as a navigator and explorer. But to the islanders Captain Cook was far more than that. He was an incarnation of their god Lono come in a floating temple to visit them from the great beyond. At his first landing on the island of Kauai they fell prostrate along the path and worshipped him as a deity. Matson Navigation Lines unknown books

2015ill., br. La Ahnenerbe Forschungs und Lehrgemeinschaft (Associazione per la ricerca e l'insegnamento dell'eredità degli antenati), fondata nel 1935 da Heinrich Himmler con l'obiettivo di valorizzare il passato del popolo germanico, è forse una delle istituzioni naziste più note ma meno conosciute. Predatori di tesori, propugnatori di un nazismo mistico e magico, i membri dell'Ahnenerbe operarono anche in Italia nel periodo fra il 1935 e il 1945, con velleità scientifiche ed esoteriche, ma anche - a sorpresa - di salvaguardia di opere d'arte. Attraverso documenti inediti o di difficile reperimento, questo saggio ricostruisce l'attività della SS Ahnenerbe nel nostro Paese, dove operò alla ricerca di prove del primato dell'antico mondo germanico e quindi del Terzo Reich nella realtà storica del tempo. Al di là dei miti di Atlantide e degli studi fantastici sulle origini delle civiltà preromane, fu possibile condurre importanti campagne di scavo e contribuire alla catalogazione e alla tutela di numerosi beni architettonici e archeologici della nostra Penisola, ad esempio con il Kunstschutz Abteilung, l'Ufficio per la Protezione dell'Arte, creato per proteggere i nostri monumenti dai bombardamenti e dalle devastazioni della guerra.

2018ill., ril. Dopo l'inizio della guerra, la Germania divenne riferimento per una nuova idea europea e il difensore politico e militare della sua civiltà, pertanto anche laboratorio di studio per un progetto di unificazione continentale. La battaglia ideologica si sarebbe giocata con la propaganda, gli approfondimenti politici e culturali con i seminari e i convegni; mentre la rivoluzione europea sarebbe esplosa sui campi di battaglia, combattendo nei ranghi del primo esercito politico a vocazione europea: la Waffen SS. "Germanische Gemeinschaft" descrive la profondità culturale e spirituale di questa nuova costruzione politica continentale, riallacciandosi alle sue radici nordiche e germaniche. Mentore di questa pubblicazione di propaganda, apparsa in due fascicoli tra il 1941 e il 1942, fu Franz Riedweg, SS-Obersturmbannführer, veterano delle campagne di Polonia, Francia e fronte orientale.
