USM book # 258

Eckart was one of the principal personalities in the founding of Third Reich Germany.
A great deal of information about him will come up on a simple Google search.
This is a rare book that was given to a member of the Feldeisenbahn Ersatz Ausbildung Abteilung Zeitz in recognition of his marksmanship at Christmas 1944 by his Major. It would have been considered a wonderful prize at the time for any ardent Nazi. It is a very nice example of the book Dietrich Eckart als Publizist - mit einer Ahnentafel bis 1285 und einer Dietrich-Eckart-Biographie (Journalist Dietrich Eckart - with an Ancestral Chart since 1285 and a Dietrich Eckart Biography from 1868 until 1938).
This 6 x 9 inch, 216 page hard cover book was written by Wilhelm Grün and published by Hoheneichen Verlag in München in 1944.
The book was only one photograph - the classic photo of Eckart above a facsimile of his signature - but it is filled with all the most minute details of the long life of the man to whom Adolf Hitler owed most for his political success in Germany. Eckart was born in 1868 to the family of a lawyer in Bavaria. By the time Hitler was born, Eckart was already well educated and on the way to a career as a teacher, journalist and author. By the end of World War I Eckart was a central figure in the Freikorps and political world of Munich, Bavaria and Germany. He was a founder of the Deutsche Arbeiter Partei, a committed anti-Semite and the man that Hitler thanked over and over following his death in 1923. Everything about the Nazi Party and its program bore the fingerprints of Dietrich Eckart.
It was also Dietrich Eckart who brought Hitler to Berchtesgaden and who made Hitler realize that a nationalist leaning, socialist oriented German worker’s political party could rise above the street battles and take power in Europe’s largest economy. Eckart is buried in Berchtesgaden and his grave is still marked with its enormous original tombstone.
A rare book in very good used condition with a single exception - the spine has been scotch taped.
