For many Germans the pictures in this book were their first opportunity to have a look at many of those who surrounded Hitler in the very early days of the Nazi Party. Material of this sort that depicts the very earliest days of Nazi victory in Germany has become very difficult to find and very desirable in the 21st century.

The Heinrich Hoffmann-type photo book starts with a chapter about Adolf Hitler and the people he trusted - the people that had just helped him become Chancellor of Germany in 1933. That section contains photographs of Hitler with President Paul von Hindenburg, with members of the SA and SS, meeting with the foreign press and foreign diplomats, and the first National Day of Labor (Tag der Arbeit).

The rest of the book covers Adolf Hitler's new cabinet members and the Nazi crowds that cheered them on:

Reichsbauernführer Walter Darré, Generalleutlant and Reichsstatthalter of Bavaria Ritter von Epp, Reichstag member Hermann Esser (who was also the editor of the Nazi newspaper the Völkischer Beobachter), Minister of the Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, Prussian Prime Minister Hermann Göring, Hitler's Deputy Rudolf Hess, SA Stabchef Ernst Röhm, leader of the Nazi Party's foreign political office Alfred Rosenberg and Adolf Hitler's economic advisor Dr. Otto Wagener.

Those men are shown and the text explains their background and why they were qualified for their important new position in Nazi Germany. They are shown with and without Hitler, in uniform and civilian clothes, during speeches and public appearances - in many rare photographs that do not appear in more common Third Reich photos books.

The author of this book, Erich Czech-Jochberg, was an Austrian journalist who had moved to Germany in 1929. He was an early member of the Nazi Party and wrote several other highly complimentary books about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Movement. However, he fell out of favor in 1935 and Adolf Hitler und sein Stab, was added to the "List of Damaging and Undesirable Literature" and was outlawed by the Nazi Party.

The example of Adolf Hitler und sein Stab for sale on this USMBOOKS web page is an original 84 year old book, it is NOT a modern reprint. It is complete and in nice used condition and comes with its rare original but well-worn dust jacket.
