Reichspost Museum Berlin guidebook Hoffmann Verlag

This is a nice original example of the very heavily illustrated softcover book Reichspost Museum (State Postal Museum) as published in the late 1930s by Verlag Heinrich Hoffmann for the government of Germany. The Reichspost Museum in Berlin was located a few blocks away from Hitler’s Reichschancellery and Goering’s Aviation Ministry and is still in business today as the Museum für Kommunikation.

The dozens of pictures show Hitler getting off a postal bus at the Obersalzberg (who knew the Führer took the bus home!), modern post offices, traveling post offices, loading mail on airplanes and Zeppelins, HJ boys studying the exhibits in the Berlin Postal Museum, sorting mail aboard steamships, colorful pages of German stamps and postal coats of arms, high speed telegraph machines, telephone exchanges and HJ boys using the latest telephone technology.

There is even a photograph of the Reichspost television phone office at Hardenbergstrasse 29a in Berlin-Charlottenburg which provided audio and visual communications between Berlin and Leipzig.

While this is one of the hardest Hoffmann photo publications to find and it is in very good used condition, the title page (page 1 - 2) has been torn out. Pages 45 - 52 have a slight manufacturing defect with creases in the paper running through many of the photos. Still a great opportunity to own an original example until you can find one in better condition.

The 5-7/8 x 8-3/8 inch, 56 page multilingual (German, English, French and Spanish) guidebook is filled with pictures of postal material to be found in the German museum from stone tablets to the very latest automated Nazi postal systems. The Deutsche Reichspost in Third Reich Germany was responsible for mail service, the telephone system, telegraph and even radio and television.

Have a look at a heavily illustrated 1938 Nazi book about the history of the Deutsche Reichspost, a 1943 Deutsche Reichspost instruction manual for Nazi Postal Bank customers, as well as Deutsche Reichspost decorative telegrams and Nazi Postal District Maps for sale on USMBOOKS.com.
