This is a superb Third Reich full-color book: the best of all the color books published in Nazi Germany during the war and dealing with the Waffen-SS, Kriegsmarine and Wehrmacht in combat. These are NOT the same old images cropped a little differently! They are for the most part color images that appear almost nowhere else but in this book.
Zeitgeschehen in Farben - Das Farbfoto als Dokument vom Freiheitskampf unseres Volkes (The Recent Past in Color - The Color Photo as Documentation of the Freedom Fight of our People) is a rare 7 x 9-5/8 inch, 160 page (early editions have only 144 pages; this example has an extra 16 pages with Roman numeral page numbers), very, very heavily illustrated hard cover book by Eduard Amphlett as published by Max Beck Verlag in Leipzig in 1943.
The book contains excellent color photographs of Adolf Hitler and his generals, Fallschirmjäger or paratroopers, Hermann Göring wearing his Grand Cross of the Knights Cross, Erwin Rommel, tanks, submarines, flame throwers, Stukas, a front theater performance that could have been shot in America, motorcycles, halftracks, passenger pigeons, Japanese generals, artillery, and all sorts of German Landsers and sailors, and Waffen-SS soldiers in the field.
Between some of the photographs there is a competent history of the German reporting of military campaigns by war correspondents from the first woodcut in the 1500s to the Waffen-SS and Wehrmacht color photographs of the Third Reich.
Shown left is the original sales slip dated February 1945 from a book shop on Adolf Hitler Platz (square) is attached to the front end paper.
Zeitgeschehen in Farben - Das Farbfoto als Dokument vom Freiheitskampf unseres Volkes contains many, many more rare World War II combat photos than shown on this USMBOOKS web page. It is a very rare book, very difficult to find, in nice used condition.
The spine was professionally replaced at some point. Pages are in very good condition.
