Because of its remoteness, and separation from the rest of the country of Germany, many otherwise well-informed students of the Third Reich know little about Danzig Gauleiter Albert Forster, or how well-connected he was with the leadership of the Nazi Party.

This is a somewhat unknown Third Reich book about Gauleiter and SS General Albert Forster written by Wilhelm Löbsack, the Gauschulungsleiter in the Reichspropagandaamt of Danzig (his nickname was “the Goebbels of Danzig”). The 144-page softcover book contains 36 rare black and white pictures plus several reproductions of documents, including the one showing Albert Forster’s Honorary Citizenship of the city of Danzig.

Albert Forster was an early member of the Nazi Party (membership number 1924), and was considered an Alte Kämpfer. Born in Fürth, he was a local Nazi leader in the Nürnberg-Fürth area and part-time journalist for Julius Streicher's weekly anti-Jewish newspaper Der Stürmer. He was an observer at the trial for high treason of Erich Ludendorff, Adolf Hitler and other participants in the 1923 Nazi Putsch, which took place in the spring of 1924 in Munich.
The text of Gauleiter Albert Forster starts in early 1923 when Forster joined the Nazi Movement and became acquainted with Adolf Hitler. Forster’s part in the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany is followed by “the battle for Danzig” from 30 January - 28 May 1933. The third chapter is about the leadership of Hitler and Forster, and the fourth Abschnitt is titled “Albert Forster and Poland”. There is also a chapter about Forster’s role as head of all clerical employee organizations within the German Labor Front. Other chapters cover the strength of Albert Forster due to Hitler’s trust and support, and there is also a section with excepts of Forster speeches. Page 141 has Albert Forster’s family tree with ancestors going back to the 1700s.

This 90 year old 5-¾ x 8-½ inch Nazi book about “Hitler’s Man in Danzig” Albert Forster was published by Hanseatische Verlagsanstalt Hamburg in 1934. It is in very nice, little-used condition with a tight spine and no odor.

Albert Forster’s Honorary Citizenship of the City of Danzig, June 1933
In October 1930 Forster became the Nazi Party Gauleiter of the city of Danzig, and after the National Socialists were elected to power in 1933, Forster spearheaded the Nazi take-over of Danzig in the spring of 1933, gaining an absolute majority for the Nazi Party in the Danzig Senate. In January 1934, he was made honorary Führer of the 36th SS-Standarte in Danzig. In May 1934 Forster’s wedding took place in Berlin, with Hitler and Rudolf Hess as witnesses and special wedding guests (see photo below). He was the founder and publisher of the Danziger Beobachter (Danzig Observer) newspaper.
