BIG ORIGINAL 1939 THIRD REICH BOOK ANNEX OF BOHEMIA & MORAVIA
AUS DEM ERSTEN INS DRITTE REICH
PROBABLY THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE THIRD REICH BOOK ON THE HISTORY OF THIS PART OF EUROPE
AND HOW IT BECAME PART OF THE GREATER GERMAN REICH
The 9 x 11-1/2 inch, 360-page hardcover book was written by Gauleiter Prof. Rudolf Jung and published in 1939 by Weller Verlag in Berlin. It is made exactly like the big official Reich Party Day Books (see our Reich Party Days section on this website). The heavily illustrated book is about the “liberation” or annex of the Czech part of the Sudetenland, Böhmen und Mähren (Bohemia and Moravia). No other Third Reich book explains this historic event as much in-depth like this book. The book is in nice condition and comes with its original dust jacket.
The book once belonged to Karl Bosek-Kienast, an early comrade of Konrad Henlein. Enclosed are 2 documents, one with Karl Bosek-Kienast’s signature from 1923(!) and one with his signature as well as the signatures of old comrades who got together on 9 November 1950 – probably to commemorate the 1923 putsch. Bosek-Kienast’s friend and comrade Gauleiter Konrad Henlein signed the title page of this book and the signature is dated 16 Novemeber 1939. Henlein’s signature is rare.

After the annex of Austria in 1938, getting Bohemia and Moravia Heim ins Reich (Back into the Reich) concluded the creation of the Grossdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich). This was the last “peaceful” annexation, the next territory that was added was the Generalgouvernement, the German occupied part of Poland after the Blitzkrieg in September 1939. The other part of Poland became Russian territory, after a secret deal between Hitler and Stalin.
