This is a good original example of the rare 7-1/4 x 9-3/4 inch, 112 page, very heavily illustrated hard cover book Von 7 Mann Zum Volk (From Seven Men to a Nation) by Wilhelm Fanderl as published by Verlag Gerhard Stalling in Oldenburg i. O., Germany in May 1933.
The book traces the history of the Nazi Party over a 14 year period to victory in national elections in 1933. That covers the period from the time that the Deutscher Arbeiter Partei (DAP) had only seven members, of which Adolf Hitler was member number 5 (the membership cards are shown on the cover of the book).
Following a foreword by Dr. Josef Goebbels, the new Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (State Minister for National Community Clarification and Publicity) the book shows the earliest venues and members of the earliest days of Hitler and the Nazi Party, complimented by a very upbeat text.
The obscure early photos (many by Heinrich Hoffmann) show the party Standards, uniforms, flags, equipment, weapons, meetings and leaders at a time when almost no one in Germany or around the world took them seriously.
The last 30 or so pages depict a very different, determined and politically successful group of men ready and able to take over the reigns of government in the chaos of Germany in 1933.
Pages 81/82 and 99 thru 110 were missing from this book and have been replaced with good quality photocopies of the original pages from another example of this book in our archive.
A very hard book to find, and in good used condition, except as noted above. Spine has been taped.
