Original German Pre-WWII Named USGI Bring Back NSDAP 1st Edition Organization Book with Extensive Color Plates – Published 1936 Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. We have had a few of these before but never the rare 1st Edition! Even better, this is a name USGI BRING BACK!!! The first page is marked in the corner with Co F 1301 ENGINEER, and then is named to Arthur Rampanelli, 619 E Cook St, Portage. This is a very clear attribution to the 1301st General Service Engineer Regiment. This unit landed at Utah beach on August 6, 1944, and for the next seven months the 1301st supported the Third Army’s drive across France and Germany. This included building temporary bridges, repairing roads, and other support functions. Some fantastic research potential in this book!

The book itself is a rare 1st Edition of the Organiſationsbuch der NSDAP (Organization Book of the NSDAP) and was published in 1936, three years before the start of WWII. The book contains over 500 pages of the structure and organization of the NSDAP party and contains extensive color plates of insignia, flags and uniforms of all the elements under the Party. Measures 6″W x 8 1/2″H x 1 1/2″.

The book is in good condition with wear and damage to the cover, but still has all the pages intact. This book was the official NSDAP party guide published by Reichsorganisationsleiter der NSDAP, Dr. Robert Ley, describing in great detail the structure of the NSDAP and all its sub-organizations like no other book that was published in Germany between 1933 and May 1945. The book was never for public sale and only for party officials and offices. There are about 80 full color plates with uniforms, awards, banners, etc. plus countless other black and white illustrations in the text. A great reference book and must have for every collector of historical Third Reich material.

Comes ready to help with research, as well as to BE researched!
