Description:

(1889 - 1945) Fuhrer of Germany and Nazi Party leader, Hitler's bloody rise to power, his military seizure of most of Europe and North Africa and his genocidal racial policies culminated in suicide in his Berlin bunker as Russian troops approached. Rare signed 'luxury' edition of Hitler's political manifesto, 'Mein Kampf' (Munich: Franz Eher Verlag), 1934. 'Erfter Band', 360pp. (plus advertisements), 8vo. This special 1934 edition appeared for the first time with a custom beige cloth cover with gold oak leaves, and a quarter leather binding with raised hubs and gold title. Unlike the mass-printed edition and the wedding edition, this edition was printed in only 20,000 copies and was the most expensive offered for sale in Germany at that time. On the glossy front flyleaf, Hitler has signed in full, adding 'Berlin 16/Oktober 1934' in very bold black ink. The title page has had a 3.5 x 1 in. corner clipped from upper-right, undoubtedly the previous owner's name, and there is just the lightest wear at the ends of the spine, otherwise this piece is in superlative condition. Sold with the original bookseller's typed description, ca. 1965.
