This is a fine, complete example of the Nazi art magazine Die Kunst im deutschen Reich ("The Arts in the German Reich"), the JUNE 1943 Ausgabe A issue as produced by the Zentralverlag der NSDAP, the Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party, Franz Eher of Munich.

This 24-page issue has an extensive feature article on Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, one of Adolf Hitler's favorite paintings. The heavily illustrated article shows paintings in color and in black & white and many of them from private collections. This Nazi art magazine also contains female nude sculptures by Alfred Knott, Rudolf Agricola, Hans Jürgen Klein, and Richard Martin Werner, as well as an article to commemorate the 70th birthday of artist Olaf Gulbrandsson which is accompanied by his illustrations.

Die Kunst im deutschen Reich Juni 1943, Ausgabe A (7. Jahrgang, Folge 6) is complete and in very good, little-used condition. Some discoloration to the covers, but the content is in very nice condition. No writing, no odor.

The magazine was large in size (11 x 14 inch), huge is scope and right to the end (Fall 1944) it was published at the direction of Chancellor Adolf Hitler himself by Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger on fine quality paper using the best available inks. It was under the supervision of an extremely prestigious group of directors that included Reichsminister Professor Albert Speer of Berlin, Professor Richard Klein of the Academy of Applied Arts in München and Professor Leonhard Gall of Studio Troost in Munich.

Huge full-page, full-color and black & white photographs dominated the format of Die Kunst im Deutschen Reich. Many of the pictures were never published elsewhere and none were published in a larger format.
