one side of the picture-book has the shape of the H.J. boy on the cover

VERY RARE UNUSUAL ORIGINAL 1933

This 5-1/2 x 11-1/2 inch picture-book was published 1933 by Schreiber pub-lishing house in Ensslingen, Germany, probably for eight to ten year old boys and girls in Hitler-Germany. The item, which is in excellent condition, has the number 695 on the cover. We are not sure if this is copy #695 of a limited number of copies or if this is a publication number from the pub-lisher (comparable to todays ISBN). The book contains fantastic full color (and a few single color) illustrations, showing Hitler Youth marching, Jung-volk, H.J. in the camp, Horst Wessel, etc. The text is written in form of fairly simple rhymes, all of them of course glorifying the Hitler Youth, the Führer Adolf Hitler and the H.J. leadership. One of the “highlights” men-tioned in the book is a visit of the Reichsjugendführer (Reich Youth Leader) and that he shook hands with every Hitler Youth boy in the camp. This is the only copy we have found in many years!
