Hitler Befreit Sudetenland (Hitler Liberates Sudetenland) is a historic black & white Nazi photo book published by Professor Heinrich Hoffmann and the Zeitgeschichte Verlag in Berlin. This 7-1/2 x 10-1/2 inch, 64 page softcover book with an introduction by Konrad Henlein was released in 1938.

This historical book is filled with over 100 full- and half-page photos of Adolf Hitler, other high ranking Nazis (Göring, Ribbentrop, Henlein, Keitel) and foreign dignitaries deciding the fate of Sudetenland, a part of Czechoslovakia in the fall of 1938.

There are pictures of Hitler with with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Premier Edouard Daladier and Il Duce, Benito Mussolini at the Berghof near Berchtesgaden, at Bad Godesberg and during the 29-30 September 1938 meeting at the Führerbau in München (Munich). The "Munich Pact" was signed on 30 September 1938, an agreement that enabled Nazi Germany to take possession of the Sudetenland without fear of opposition from either Britain, France or Italy.

This section is followed by photos of German troops entering the Sudetenland, fleeing citizens, Hitler visiting the troops in one of his gigantic open Mercedes-Benz cars, Hitler inspecting Czech defenses, having lunch in the field, shaking hands with wounded soldiers, posing with smiling children, women offering Hitler mineral water with Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in the background, etc.

This book is an original Third Reich edition.  The interior is in used condition, the title page and introduction pages are loose.  The binding is in poor condition.  The poor condition of this book is the reason we are selling it for a much reduced price of $65.00.
The dust jacket is original and shows wear (see photo above).  It has advertising for other Hoffmann photo books (Bildbände) on the back flap:
Hitler baut Grossdeutschland, Hitler abseits vom Alltag, Jugend um Hitler, Hitler in seinem Bergen, Hitler in seiner Heimat, Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt, etc.
