RARE ORIGINAL 1940 WEDDING EDITION OF ADOLF HITLERS
“MEIN KAMPF” GIVEN TO A NEWLYWED COUPLE IN STETTIN (TODAY IN POLAND)
Adolf Hitler’s autobiography and political manifest. The copy that is offered for sale was published in 1940 by Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher, Nachf. in Munich, Germany in the 524th edition (6.05 million copies were printed by that time). This copy was presented to a newlywed couple in the city of Stettin, a Prussian city at the Baltic Sea (today Szeczin and in Poland). It comes with its original protective box which has one flap missing but protected the book well over all these years, minor damage at the spine. The book is a so called ‘Kriegsausgabe’ (War Edition), which it says so on the spine. RARE
In 1935, the Eher publishing house presented Hitler with the idea of giving a specially printed edition of Mein Kampf to every newlywed couple on the day of their wedding. This edition was published with a leather spine and would contain an extra presentation page in the front with blanks for the names of bride and groom and the signature of the mayor of the city, town or village. The standard editions of Mein Kampf were published in the same size as a standard German bible. The reason for that was that Hitler hoped that his book would eventually replace the bible in German households!
