Rosenberg Book Presented to Himmler (Item HH 1-2) |
|||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a leather-bound copy of the book by Alfred Rosenburg, 1893-1946, a Reichleiter and editor of the Der Volkischer Beobachter and minister for the newly liberated territories in the east. He was generally accepted as the mentor of Nazi ideology. He believed in Nordic supremacy and his
various books and papers sought to confirm these thoughts among the German populous. He
wrote this book to praise and make immortal the deeds and philosophy of Ullrich von
Hutten, a dashing knight, revolutionary, and poet of 700 years before the formation of the Third Reich. The book in unique form and specially bound was printed in 1938 at the Great Press at Mainz. This was the press of the
Gutenberg Museum and was presented to Heinrich Himmler by the NS Teachers' Association in
Gau Hessen Nassau during the New Year's period. It is hand signed or imprinted with the signature
of the Gauwalter of the NS Lehrerbendes. The book measures 9" x 6"
and is very thin; less than ¼" thick. A very rare article; prodigiously important in the archives of the Third Reich.

Fantastic Himmler Presentation Book and Chest (Item HH 1-5) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is an incredible find. It is a cased presentation book to SS-Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler from the mayor and old city of Nuremberg. The case is most likely a project of the Hitler Youth; the center work being wonderfully and very professionally carved, while the eagles and swastikas that adorn the top framing are a bit more amateurish. But, the presenters were obviously cognizant of the Reichsführer’s love of Teutonic Volk Kunst (people’s art). His greatest passion was the re-creation of Germanic tribal art as was accomplished in the SS-Ahnenerbe organization. So, the H.J. workshop art as expressed here would be typical and expected. One of these books was presented in a similar case to Adolf Hitler on his 50th birthday as noted inside, and it was engraved and drafted on parchment and pigskin with brail-type stamping and embossing. The writing was in calligraphy and the pages hand decorated. Obviously this original to the Führer was all hand done, while others were presented in printed form to high leaders of the SS, SA, and state. How many? This edition was presented to H. Himmler by the high mayor or Burgermeister, himself. This presentation can be seen on the first foreword page of the volume. The Reichsführer personally initialed it “HH” and dates it 31/1/40. The book consists of 44 pages of parchment-like material each page being an accurate copy of the calligraphy-executed, original work given to Hitler. The pages chronicle the praises bestowed upon Nuremberg’s sons and adopted sons like Adolf Hitler. The pages read like a who’s who of German and Nuremberg history: Kaiser Frederick II, Kaiser Karl IV, Goethe, Hans Sachs, Ludwig König von Bayern, Martin Luther, Richard Wagner, Ullrich von Hutten. Each merits a page or two. Then, at the end of the book, there are 7 highly decorative pages devoted to Nuremberg’s very favorite honorary citizen, Adolf Hitler. This beautiful book is covered in white leather or leatherette? It measures 12 ½ x 10 inches and the condition is excellent plus. Along the spine are the words in gilt or gold lettering Der Stadt der Reichsparteitage Nürnberg des Deutschen Reiches Schatzhaftlein, “The City of the Reich’s Party Rallies Nuremberg the German Reich’s Treasure Repository.” Inside on the foreword page it says the same and under this caption it says: “Words and Legends of 7 Hundred Years.” The cassette or chest measures 12 ¼ x 15 inches and from the top to the bottom of the stepped feet it measures 3 ½ inches. The hand-carved small, square, corner blocks of wood have raised individual carvings depicting runics and skull similar to the design of the Totenkopf Himmler honor ring. Besides the double Blitzsieg runes so familiar to the SS there is the Totenkopf or Death’s Head, which is a reminder of death before dishonor! Bottom left is the Hagel rune that takes the form of an asterisk inside a six-sided hexagon. This is a symbol of the inner strength of Aryan man to overcome all problems and adversity. At the right-lower corner is the dual sigrunes and tyrune. The tyrune had meaning to the ancient Germans and the Shutzstaffel for the bearer to be fearless and at all times true to the cause and Sippe (tribe). There is probably much more that could be said about this magnificent and vastly important relic, but we will let the pictures do their job. We can’t imagine many items of the Third Reich being more historically important than this great set.
