NAZI PHOTO RECAP OF THE YEARS 1918 - 1934

SO KAM ES!
(HOW IT HAPPENED!)
A NAZI PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY OF
THE BATTLE FOR GERMANY
1918 - 1934

This is a very nice example of the rare 6 x 9 inch, 128 page very, very heavily illustrated soft cover book ,,So Kam Es!’’ (How It Happened!) by Wegener & Keller as published by H.A. Braun & Co. of Berlin-Tempelhof, Germany in 1935.

The excellent book begins by explaining the background of the demands of the Allies at Versailles, the implementation of the occupation of Germany by “black French troops” and others, the “Polish Corridor” and the surrender of German sovereignty. It continues with rare photographs of all sorts of German war materiel from simple steel helmets to Zeppelin hangars.

The center section of the book deals with communists, murderers and the growth of the Freikorps. Rare photos record the vigilante action of loyalists who refused to see their country sink into anarchy. The book then concentrates on the very earliest photos of Hitler and the Nazis with pictures of early organization, the Putsch, the imprisonment of Hitler, the degeneration of music and art and so on.

The last portion of the book is devoted to pictures of Hitler and the Nazis at the first Reich Party Days, campaigning across Germany, Horst Wessel and the days leading up to the Nazi assumption of power in Germany. The book ends with Hitler in power, the Reichstag arson, the new Reichsautobahn, the death of Von Hindenburg and the Nazi vision of the future of Germany.

The man on the left in the very early photo on the
right is identified as Adolf Hitler in this book.

This rare Nazi photo book is **SOLD**.
