Der Kampf Im Westen translates from German to, The Struggle in the West. First published in 1940, this Nazi propaganda book’s aim was to glorify and document the German military campaigns in Western Europe.

Notable for its extensive use of photographs. These images, many of which were taken by war correspondents and military photographers, depict German soldiers in action, the devastation of the war, and the surrender of Allied troops. The text is written in a style that emphasizes the heroism and efficiency of the German soldiers, while often dehumanizing the enemy and glossing over the war’s brutality and the suffering it caused.

This specific book, aside from the paper cover, is in outstanding condition. Originally this book came with 100 3D photographs, readers/ viewers could look at through the (included) standing glasses. Here, amazingly, ALL 100 PHOTOGRAPHS ARE PRESENT and in excellent condition, almost mint. They’re even in order, and numbered. The standing glasses are in near mint condition, they open and close and are still nice and stiff when open so you can enjoy every photograph.

This really is an incredible piece and while the paper cover has certainly done it’s job keeping the book safe, it’s still present and to find these books with ALL 100 original photographs, plus the glasses, and all in such amazing condition is an excellent find.
