Mein Kampf "BEAMTENAUSGABE" Edition 1939
Adolf Hitler's autobiography and political manifest. This copy that is offered was published in 1939 by Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher, Nachf. in Munich, Germany. In recognition of Hitler's 50th birthday a limited edition, called "Jubiläumsausgabe" (Jubilee Edition) was published. It was a "Deluxe" version of the regular blue Volksausgabe (People's Edition), but also larger in size (235x165mm). What many don't know is that also a red Jubilee edition was published in 1939 in Austria, Hitler's homeland. The book that is offered here, however, is a very nice copy of a third 'Jubilee' edition that also was printed on occasion of Hitler's 50th birthday: the so called Beamtenausgabe or Civil Servants Edition. Slightly smaller in size but in the same design as the regular Jubilee edition, this book was given to deserving civil servants in Nazi Germany.This Civil Servant edition was published in 1939 in recognition of Hitler's 50th birthday. It is not to be mistaken with the blue or red Jubilee editions that were published also in 1939 but are slightly larger in size than this book.
Condition: good
