THE EAST - A PICTURE
BOOK ON JAPAN

,,Freundesland im Osten - ein Nipponbuch in Bildern'' is a splendid 8-3/4 x 9-3/4 inch, very, very heavily illustrated 304 page, hardcover book by Edmund Fürholzer as published by Wilhelm Limpert Verlag in Berlin in 1943.

There is no other book that provides the view of the country of Japan that this one does. It was written by Nazis for Nazis DURING WORLD WAR II, and thus it carefully examines the military / historical side of the country and its institutions in a unique way.

The Emperor Hirohito of Japan is shown in his full uniform for the military man that he was, and not as the “Human God” the whole world was told he was at the end of World War II.

There are photos of pastoral scenes, mountains and ships of course, but the emphasis is on the healthy, productive, well-organized military ally that the Germans saw in Japan.

All literature of this type is very rare today and we have never seen another book that comes close to this one in depicting Japan as the loyal ally of Hitler and National Socialist Germany in hundreds and hundreds of clear, modern, full-page photographs.

This book is in general in very good condition. The cover shows a good deal of wear and the top couple inches of the spine have been repaired. The spine has been scotch taped. The internal pages are in fine condition.

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