SMGO-0627 Germany Awake! Cigarette album with Original Dust Jacket!!!

Almost impossible to find with this original dust Jacket and cardboard sleeve! Arguably, they are worth more than the book! The jacket does have a tear in it with a tape repair. The carboard sleeve is worn but not falling apart too much. The fold out rally photo is present and is often missing. The inside is complete with all photos and shows light wear and spotting.

This is a very nice original Third Reich book containing dozens of period photos including a full-page portrait of Nazi Party Führer Adolf Hitler and SA Chief of Staff (Stabschef der SA) Viktor Lutze. At the time this book was published in 1933, it was the first very high quality publishing effort of the Nazi Party in the wake of their election victories earlier in 1933, and after Adolf Hitler was appointed Germany’s 23rd Chancellor. The huge 10 x 12-1/2 inch, 152-page very heavily illustrated hard cover book is a very good example of Deutschland Erwacht (Germany Awakened) published for the NSDAP in Germany by Cigaretten Bildendienst of Altona-Bahrenfeld probably about 1938. It is from the edition of 776 to 875 thousand. The book is the Nazi Party’s tribute to itself and consists of a very substantial well-written German text, two full-page illustrations in color, over 160 black & white photos pasted in, and one huge fold-out photo taken at a Nazi Party rally in Nürnberg that measures 12 inches tall by over 4 FEET long!
