Ein Volk ehrt seinem Führer (A Nation Honors its Leader) shows in pictures how all of Nazi Germany celebrated the 50th birthday of Adolf Hitler on 20 April 1939.

This superb photo book was published by Professor Heinrich Hoffmann in cooperation with Zeitgeschichte-Verlag Wilhelm Andermann in Berlin and contains a foreword by Reichsorganisationsleiter Dr. Robert Ley.

Hitler is shown surrounded by SS men and leaders of the NSDAP in the Mosaic Hall in the Reichschancellery in Berlin, receiving congratulations from Generalfeldmarschall Hermann Göring, Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, SS General Sepp Dietrich, Foreign Minister Joaching von Ribbentrop, Dr. Wilhelm Frick, Walther Darré, Reichsorganisationsleiter Robert Ley, Lord Mayor of Munich Karl Fiehler, Sister Pia, Blood Order recipients and many NSDAP cabinet members. There are pictures of Hitler looking at presents with pilot Hans Bauer, models of fortifications in the west and holding hands with children.

Central Berlin was decorated for this special occasion with elaborate Strassenschmuck: giant eagles, swastikas, Nazi flags and banners. The capital of Hitler's Greater Germany was the perfect back drop for the enormous military parade that took place on 20 April. Full-page and double page pictures show the LSSAH, Fallschirmjäger, Kriegsmarine troops, cavalry men on horseback, artillery pieces, tanks and Luftwaffe squadrons overhead. The audience consisted of the Nazi high leadership, generals, military attachés from many European countries and Hitler's guest of honor, Czech President Dr. Emil Hacha (wearing a black coat and top hat amidst a sea of stunning Nazi uniforms).

This fine 1939 Nazi photo book Ein Volk ehrt seinen Führer is in very good, little-used condition and has no odor. The dust jacket is an 84 year old original and shows wear which is clearly visible in the picture of it near the top of this USMBOOKS web page. The back flap has advertising for other popular Hoffmann Bildbände such as Jugend um Hitler, Hitler in seiner Heimat, Hitler wie ihn keiner kennt, Mit Hitler in Polen, and others.

Ein Volk ehrt seinem Führer measures 7-1/2 x 10-3/8 inch and has 64 pages filled with photographs of the official events that took place in Berlin on the eve of, and on 20 April 1939, the 50th birthday of Führer und Reichskanzler, Adolf Hitler.
