Communist criminals, i.e. the murderer of SA Sturm leader Horst Wessel who became probably THE martyr of the NS regime.

This heavily illustrated 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch, 182-pages soft cover book was written by Adolf Ehrt and published 1933 in English lan-guage by the League of German Anti-Communist Associ-ations with their headquarters in Berlin. The book starts out with an overview of the history of Commu-nism in Germany, followed by many examples of the Communist "conspiracy", their murder of many of their oponents, SA, SS and NSDAP members and how the Red Front was finally defeated. The Communists were the greatest enemies of the Brownshirts and many lost their lives on both sides in the countless street battles prior to Adolf Hitler's seizure of power in 1933. This book covers a very interesting subject, it contains a lot of seldom seen photos and because it is written in English it is easy to understand in full by everyone who is not fluent in German!
