Book Deutsches Volk-Deutsche Heimat, from the SS-Oberbayern Standarte Library (Item SS 18-1)

DESCRIPTION: This is basically a book that in 745 pages shows in beautiful black-and-white photography the German fatherland from border to border. It also traces historically the glory of the Teutonic saga and the advent of the Third Reich and its accomplishments. This book is in beautiful shape with its original dust cover. It was published by the Deutscher Volksverlag in Munich in 1935. It has a foreword by Fritz Wachtler, the head of the N.S. Teachers' Society and it was published under the instruction of Gaulieter Hans Schemm, the most-liked political leader of the Reich. This is one beautiful book and it is quite rare on its own and then because it was the former property of this SS elite unit from the Bavarian Mountains. A real find!

Book Rasputin: Ein Werkzeug der Juden, Rasputin: The Tool of the Jews (Item SS 18-3)

DESCRIPTION: This is a book from the library archives of the SS-Totenkopf Standarte 'Oberbayern'. This is part of a very large collection of books stored for many years and only recently found again in Lower Bavaria and purchased by Germania International. We were very fortunate in being able to acquire them, for the archive contains some of the most exceedingly rare Third Reich books ever accumulated at one time. This particular volume certainly fits that description. Most of the books that depicted and described the Jewish question as envisioned by the Third Reich were destroyed in 1945; however, the archive of the Totenkopf Standarte 'Oberbayern' was preserved intact. This book purports that the mad monk Rasputin, friend of the Tsarina and terrible troublemaker was in fact a tool used by the international Jewish conspiracy to bring down Tsarist Russia. It was printed in 1939 by the Stürmer Book Group in Nuremberg and released in a second edition in 1941. The book measures 6 x 8 inches with 202 pages. Although the dust cover is a bit tattered, it is all there except for a couple of patches at the back dust cover's corners. Under the dust cover the book's actual covers are intact. The SS ex libris card is fine with a little soiling from the old glue application of 60 years or so ago. This again can be considered quite a rare book both for content and for the fact that it is from the SS archives.

Book Hofjuden by Peter Deeg (Item SS 18-4)

DESCRIPTION: This is a book from the library archives of the SS-Totenkopf Standarte Oberbayern and was published by Julius Streicher Verlag der Stürmer Nürnberg, 1939. This was the book that was one of the group from Julius Streicher that resulted in his being outright murdered at the end of the infamous Nuremberg Trials in 1945-1946. His crime was the writing and publishing of such books. The volume, The Palace Jews, is the story of the Rothschilds empire and its influence on the worlds trade, world wars, and intrigue personified that still continues today in the form of the New World Order. The banking houses of Rothschild were and are the most powerful financial empires ever seen and they literally own presidents, kings, countries, and systems throughout the world. They finance wars, bring down empires, and make or break such puppets as George Bush, Kerry, and the British jack-in-the-box Blair. In a film called The Formula, one of the actors talking with Marlon Brando, the oil magnate says, Well, what about the Arabs?. Brando retorts, We are the Arabs. The Rothschilds are also the Arabs, the Congress, the House of Commons, the House of Lords, etc. Nathan Rothschild once blabbered forth with the statement, "I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply." The book chronicles all of this insidious plot in 547 pages with illustrations, pictures of documents, and photos of the conspirators. The book measures 6 x 8 ˝ inches and is almost 2 inches thick. It is considered quite rare without being from the SS archives and it is in tip-top condition. If one were searching for this book today with a thousand dollars to spend on it, they probably would not find one. It is just the scarce. We offer it here.

Leibstandarte- Eagle; Headquarters Sculpture (Item SS 18-5)

DESCRIPTION: This may be one of the most beautiful and historically important relics we have ever had the honor to offer. It is an incredibly huge and very heavy eagle in metal, mounted on a wonderful plinth of Bavarian marble that is of rich, brown-textured natural stone. This is the actual decorative presentation that one would first observe when entering the front foyer of the headquarters of the LAH at Berlin Lichterfelde. This was the elite Standarte that was the unit declared by Sepp Dietrich to be responsible to Adolf Hitler, alone. This declaration was made on November 4, 1933. In April 1933, the LAH moved into the former main cadet institute in the southern area of Berlin. This awesome group of buildings remained the headquarters of this elite guard unit until 1945. Under the occupation, the buildings were taken over by the U.S. Army and renamed Andrews Barracks. It was at this time that a German gentleman, who was working on the renovation of the building, discovered many articles that were loose or in packing crates in the basement. There was an order from Army Command to clean out the entire basement to get it ready to become a recreation facility for GIs. This enterprising worker sorted out many things that he thought might be of value and they went into the back of his truck and into his basement in a suburb of Berlin. Here also sat several large plaques mentioned elsewhere on our site, and this magnificent eagle. He did not dare show these items to anyone for 50-some years, but when Germany became one again, he decided to sell the items and now we are able to offer this great relic of the

to the collecting public. The eagle and base are massive. The fine sculptured marble base is 21 ˝ x 14 ˝ inches. The height of the sculpture is 13 inches and the measurement from wingtip to wingtip is 17 inches. I would guess the weight at about 85 or 90 pounds. The round plaques embedded into the plinth show the original LAH in entwined, lettered cipher adopted in 1934 as the official insignia of the corps. On the left side is the famous key. Both of these round pieces are of the vehicle-marking style. The first used in 1934-1938, and the key design shown in this form was used from 1942-1943. There is also a scroll in the center between the round plaques with the Iron Cross and dates 1933-1943. The later date probably denotes when the eagle was placed at Lichterfelde. This may have been the decoration of the Motor Standarte section. The key design was the vehicle marking of the first

Panzer Korps Leibstandarte. There was a motorized section that was certainly the pride of the

and the Reich! The most interesting and utterly fascinating thing that we have discovered about the eagle sculpture itself is the fact that in almost every art object of the Schutzstaffel, one can almost always see the double-runic design of S runes that indicate

. Here is the subtle secret. Note: the configuration of the eagles wings feathers. You will readily see the SS runic design cleverly infused within the artistic accomplishment. The feathers would never be done this way on a normal Reichsadler (eagle), never! So it is very obvious that the artist, who very well may be none other than Richard Klein*, had designed this bird for the

-LAH and them, alone! (possibly for the motor standard). Most of the items taken from that Lichterfelde basement showed that they had some type of preservative paint applied to them (for storage purposes?). We have left them as is for genuine historic reality reasons. They do look fine, however. This is possibly the most dramatic art object we have ever perceived of the

organization. Absolutely stupendous!

* Richard Klein, born in Munich in 1890. Among other famous works of this artist: bust of Adolf Hitler; produced the design motif of the art exhibitions in Munich; reliefs for the Reichs Chancellory; commeratives of the Reichparteitags in Nuremberg, etc.

SS Tableware (front line) (Item SS 18-6)

DESCRIPTION: This is a group of Besteck, or tableware, from the Waffen-SS. It is not pretty, but it is genuine WWII period. In fact, its unpretty to us because Germania has built a reputation in handling the beautiful esoteric items over the years, but because our number one specialty is SS we couldnt refuse these items. We know the source and we know these four items are 100 percent right. There are two spoons--dinner size, a table knife, and a luncheon fork. They are heavy although not silver. The SS on each tang is hand engraved and we know that this was added by field troops of the Waffen-SS. These men were very proud and had the Korpsgeist enough to add their victory runes to all they captured or were given. The whole set is to be sold for what we paid for them.
