Der große deutsche Feldzug gegen Polen (The Great German Battle Against Poland) is the definitive German Army photo-history of the first military campaign of Hitler's Third Reich. This book was published in cooperation with the Nazi Party's Chief of Photography, Professor Heinrich Hoffmann and the Head of the Archives of the Army in Berlin.

The example we offer here is the publisher's example from the library of Verlag für Militär- und Fachliteratur A. Franz Göth & Sohn in Wien and is in splendid condition, complete with the original promotional letter and in its blank paper dust jacket.

A short text is accompanied by hundreds upon hundreds of the very best German combat photographs ever taken. Most are half-page or full-page and some are double page spreads. Each is accompanied by a very substantial caption. There are more than two dozen full-page portraits of Knight's Cross medal winners and military leaders who took a prominent part in the short but fierce destruction of the Polish Army.

There is a big photo of a truckload of Jews being deported, a photo of Hitler and Sepp Dietrich, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, a very rare photo of Hitler in Poland with his Adjutant Erwin Rommel, photos of enormous weapons caches seized by the Germans, SS troops from Danzig, the corpses of German civilians killed by Polish death squads, the huge military review before Hitler in Warsaw, etc., etc.

Every branch of the German Wehrmacht from the SS to the Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe and Army is represented in the big clear photos chosen for this rare book. It shows in absolute terms the overwhelming military might of Adolf Hitler's forces unleashed against the modern, well entrenched military forces of Poland. All types of planes, tanks, weapons and vehicles are shown.

This huge book measures 9-1/4 x 12-1/2 inches, weighs about well over 3 pounds, contains nearly 350 very, very heavily illustrated pages, and was published by A. Franz Göth in Wien (Vienna) in 1940. Excellent condition. If you need a fine copy of this rare hard cover Hoffmann photo book, we can tell you it would be difficult to find a better one than this example.
