Adolf Hitler named his version of Germany Großdeutschland at least in part in emulation of the name Great Britain, and because he envisaged a much larger country than the one he had become Chancellor of in 1933. The simple name "Germany" simply was not sufficient.
The splendid Heinrich Hoffmann-type photo book we offer here, Das Reich Adolf Hitlers was the Christmas Book of the Hitler Jugend (HJ or Hitler Youth) in 1940, published at the request of Reichsleiter and Leader of the Hitler Youth Baldur von Schirach by the Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger in München (Munich), Germany and this example is an excellent FIRST EDITION.
Following an unusual full-page, full-color 1936 portrait of German Chancellor Adolf Hitler by Horn-Stalpfer, the Das Reich Adolf Hitlers presents an outstanding photographic recap of each year of Nazi Party administration in Germany from 1933 through 1940.
The photographs of the early years of National Socialist power show parades, uniforms, personalities and huge Nazi eagles and swastikas popping up throughout the country.

Progress on the construction of the Reichsautobahn, Honor Temples in Munich, housing developments, Ordensburgen, and other major projects is heavily emphasized in big full- and half page photos. So is the 1936 Olympic Games, the German Pavilion at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, the new House of German Art in Munich, Nazi Party Days in Nuremberg, the state visit of Benito Mussolini, Anschluß with Austria and the Westwall defenses.
There are photos of the New Reichschancellery in Berlin in 1939 as well as Adolf Hitler's 50th birthday parade, but then the photo content changes largely to military in character:
aircraft and bomb factories, U-Boot or submarine crews, tanks, airplanes, marching troops, Fallschirmjäger or paratroopers, the surrender of France after only a few days of resistance, etc., etc.
