Original 1937 publication of “Hitler Abseits vom Alltag” (“Hitler Away from the Everyday”) by Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler’s official photographer. The book features 100 photographic plates showing the Führer’s personal and off-duty life.
This copy retains its original dust jacket (worn with edge tears and scuffing) and contains a handwritten dedication by a soldier, dated Kiel, September 1942, adding an intriguing wartime provenance.
Heinrich Hoffmann, one of the Third Reich’s most prominent photographers, published Hitler Abseits vom Alltag to present a curated image of Adolf Hitler away from the public stage. First printed in 1937, the book became a major success.
This particular example, gifted and inscribed by a German soldier in 1942, reflects the personal circulation of such works among servicemen as patriotic tokens and mementos during the war.
Good overall with wear to the dust jacket, light age toning, and some foxing. Binding tight; pages complete and clean for age.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor
