This is a VERY nice little-used example of the heavily illustrated 1941 Nazi elementary school book Mein Buch zum Anschauen, Zeichnen, Lesen und Schreiben (My Book to Look at, to Draw, to Read and to Write) by Hans Brückl with illustrations by Ernst Kutzer. It is a First Edition published by Verlag R. Oldenbourg - München, in cooperation with M. Diesterweg of Frankfurt am Main, Fr. Korn of Nürnberg, Rudolf Lion of Hof/Saale and Heinrich Zechner of Speyer, order number 2111.

IMPORTANT: the photo of the book cover near the top of this USMBOOKS web page shows the actual book for sale. The images of the internal pages are from a previous example we sold in 2018. The internal pages in this example of Mein Buch are not discolored and do not have spots. They are in pristine condition and the colors are bright.

This is a 6 x 8-1/2 inch, 120 page elementary school text book to teach the basics of reading and writing to students during the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Many pictures are in color and many of the lessons are the basic ones for students everywhere: indoor and outdoor games, fairy tales, the four seasons, animals and flowers, going to the store, holidays, etc.

This 1941 hardcover Nazi book however, also delves into the realm of German politics, Nazi heroes, Nazi victories, the WHW, little Nazi Christmas gifts, tributes to dead Wehrmacht soldiers, the automobile, the Führer's birthday, respecting the swastika flag, playing soldier, and the introduction of Deutsche Normalschrift (German Normal Cursive Writing) handwriting which by Executive Order, Hitler decreed to replace hard-to-read Sütterlinschrift (the previous standard German handwriting style which drives many collectors and even historians nuts today) in 1941.

The book is complete and in very nice, little-used condition. No pages are missing, even the frequently torn-out Hitler portrait page in the front of the book and the big swastika flag page are still there. None of the swastika pictures have been defaced and no child wrote in this book.

What this Third Reich book is, is an excellent example of very Nazified instructional material that actually was used to teach children in Adolf Hitler's Germany. All books of this type were on the A-list of books to be destroyed by the Allies at the end of the World War II, and very, very few of them survived in any condition. This 81 year old First Edition of Mein Buch is in remarkable condition and has the stamp of the Egerländer Volksschule at the bottom of the front flyleaf. The red linen spine is original and the book has no unpleasant odor.
