Book Böhmen und Mähren from Reinhard Heydrich’s Personal Library (Item SS 26-1; NSD 12-1) |
|||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: No people were so overjoyed and happy to be set free and so tortured and murdered only a few short years later. This was the sad and gruesome story of the Sudeten Deutscher, and their treatment by the Czech communists. These were Volksdeutsche, or German nationals, living in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. They were of pure Aryan Germanic stock and a noble folk in every way. For further information on the terrible holocaust that these people went through at the war’s end go to Item SS 18-7. The struggle for freedom that finally gave these Sudeten Deutsche a short period of relief and joy of freedom before the period of unimaginable horror is depicted here in this beautifully illustrated book of photography. Here was a realized dream of European utopia that turned to hell! Reinhard Heydrich was not murdered because he was a bad man. He was murdered by Czech assassins at the premeditated orders of the British High Command. The book is 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches and about a half an inch thick. It comprises 266 pages; practically 90 percent pictorial. The photography is nothing short of wonderful with ancient history and the events leading up to and arriving at freedom for the Sudeten Deutsche under the protection of the German Reich. The binding and spine are gone, but the rest of the book is in fine shape. Inside the front cover is the ex libris card from Reinhard Heydrich, Deputy Reich Protector of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia with headquarters in Prague. This is one of the books from his library in the Prague castle. This is an important volume in the annals of Third Reich and contemporary European history and quite rare.
