The organization of every block, every cell, local group, area group and regional group of the Nazi Party throughout Germany is described and depicted in perfect detail in amazing charts and perspective illustrations, exactly as prescribed by National Socialist organizational genius, Dr. Robert Ley.

The book opens with a Hitler portrait frontispiece facing the title page. There is a comprehensive index followed by a foreword by Adolf Hitler, a few words by Rudolf Hess and an introduction by Nazi Organizations Leader Dr. Robert Ley.

The part played by Dr. Ley in organizing the rag-tag political party Hitler dreamed up, is without parallel in 20th century history and is poorly understood today. The NSDAP could not have existed without Dr. Ley, and no one should attempt to discuss, write, or lecture on the subject of Nazi Germany without first gaining a good grounding with regard to Dr. Ley and his most important book. It is absolutely fundamental to any understanding of the Nazi Party or any aspect of the history of the country of Germany from 1920 to the present day.

The most important book in all of Nazi Germany during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler was not Mein Kampf, but the historic book offered here. The Organisationsbuch der NSDAP or Nazi Party Organization Book measures 6 x 8-1/2 x 1-5/8 inches thick and contains about 700 pages of profusely illustrated information about various membership, political leadership, uniforms, symbols, insignia, service requirements, flags, standards, daggers, swords, and other equipment of the many paramilitary units that made up the NSDAP or Nazi Party. Earlier editions have fewer pages and fewer illustrations.

The Organisationsbuch der NSDAP was not for public consumption and it was not for sale in bookstores in Nazi Germany.

The pages of this 83 year old book have yellowed with age but are in very good condition, and have no odor. The color pictures have some age spots and discoloration and this is reflected in the price.

This 1940 NSDAP Organization Book was once part of the library of NSDAP Ortsgruppe Ober Böbling. Several pages, including the title page and the first contents page have their round rubber stamp. We show an example left.

Each paramilitary group, such as the SA, SS, HJ, NSKK, RAD, etc., is dissected and explained so that anyone who had the need could understand all the specifics of how it was organized, the uniforms its members wore, and the requirements and responsibilities of membership in it.

All Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP or National Socialist German Workers Party) offices such as those of the Propaganda Leader, Press Chief, Foreign Press Chief, Racial-Political Office, Office for Genealogy, Law Office and Main Archive are fully explained.

This rare original NSDAP Organization Book is from the 6th edition of 1940, and has much more information than previous editions.

As is often the case with these thick Nazi Party Organization Books, there is wear to the hard red cloth covers and silver blocking as you can see in the photo at the top of this USMBOOKS web page.

There are over 70 full-page, full-color plates (printed on fine quality white paper) that depict virtually every conceivable Nazi flag, uniform and insignia from the Führer Standard and Blood Order to the SS Honor Ring, and from the Hitler Youth leader's dagger and sailor suits to Reichsarbeitsdienst Gorgets. There is a picture of a Nazi nurse in uniform, an Honor Pistol (a Walther PPK) and its holster, musicians uniforms, etc. There are patterns for official Nazi Party office signs, special armbands for the Reichsparteitag (Nazi Party Day), the Honor Badges of various Gaue and early Nazi Party Days.

It has been said that Germans in general have a tendency to “over-explain the obvious” and this book leaves no Nazi Party organization question unanswered. It perfectly fulfilled its sole purpose.

Naturally, the Organisationsbuch der NSDAP was considered extremely dangerous by the victorious Allies when they occupied Germany at the end of World War II. Copies of this book were confiscated and destroyed by the tens of thousands with the result that only relatively few originals survived the war and very few survived complete and in good condition.

There are chapters devoted to clarifying questions about the State Chamber of Culture (RKK or (Reichskulturkammer), Economics, Traffic, Student Organizations and the KdF Community of the German Labor Front. There are chapters related to laws that protected the Reich, protected the NSDAP, protected German Blood and Honor, the flag and even the Nazi eagle and swastika insignia. The back of the book contains the entire concept of “Racial Blood Mixing” in detail with graphic, easy to understand charts (one example shown left).
