This is a nice original example of the rare Schönstein Raumbildwerk book Großdeutschlands Wiedergeburt - Weltgeschichtliche Stunden an der Donau (The Rebirth of Greater Germany - Historic Hours Along The Danube) by Dr. Karl Bartz.   This 80-page, 8 x 12 inch hardcover book was published in Wien (Vienna) in 1938 at the direction of Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wiener Neueste Nachrichten, Südwestdeutsche Verlagsgesellschaft m.b.H. with an introduction by Hermann Göring.

Schönstein Raumbildwerk (Three Dimensional Picture Publishers) books were unique in that they contained photographic stereo-view cards and a fold-up metal device with which the cards could be viewed.

If you are not familiar with this Nazi three-dimensional book, you need to know that it consists of a well-written text by Dr. Karl Bartz on the subject of the liberation of and reunification with Austria by Nazi Germany. There is a full-page, full-color portrait of both Adolf Hitler and one of Hermann Göring in the text as well as six other full-page plates depicting significant people and material from the Anschluß.

The special covers of this album are each about 1/2-inch thick and are die-cut with five cavities that hold 100 special Heinrich Hoffmann and Raumbild Verlag 3-D stereo photographs (real photographs - NOT halftone prints) and the nickel plated metal viewer with glass lenses that is set up to view the photographs (missing in this album). The 100 stereo photos each measure 2-3/8 x 5 inches and have a full description of the subject printed on the back. When seen in the viewer each picture is incredibly three-dimensional, almost as if the scene was being viewed in real life.

We know of no other way for a history buff to observe a three-dimensional view of the house in which Hitler was born in Braunau, the grave of Hitler's parents in Leonding, Hitler's huge Mercedes-Benz car or the triumphal entry of Hitler into Austria in March 1938.

This rare and historic Raumbild 3D Third Reich photo book "The Rebirth of Greater Germany" is hardbound in green with black lettering on the covers and the spine. It is complete with both color and all 100 black & white pictures as well as the metal viewer.  The original instruction sheet on how to use the metal viewer are still there as well. 

Part of picture 55 and most of picture 57 and 60 are somewhat yellowed, but the rest of the pictures are nice, contrasty black & white prints. It is not uncommon to find some yellowed pictures in Raumbild 3D picture sets.

This book was brought back to America by an American GI and there is a short note from him on the front flyleaf dated 3 May 1945. The covers show substantial wear on the edges and spots where the GI apparently touched them up to make them look better.

Naturally, the subject of the Anschluß is rather broad in its scope. Among the 120 three-dimensional views are Hitler's triumphal entry into Austria, cheering crowds welcoming him, replacing Dollfuß Platz street signs with Adolf Hitler Platz street signs, marching Hitler Youth and SA formations, huge crowds in Salzburg, Hitler in his rail car, Hitler and his entourage (including Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and SS-General Reinhard Heydrich), Gauleiter and Reichskommissar Josef Bürckel, battle damage at the Marxhof, graves of Nazi heroes, the arrival of Rudolf Hess, Hilfszug Bayern in Wien, Gauleiter and Reichskommissar Josef Bürckel standing behind his desk in his office in Vienna, Reichsstatthalter Seyss-Inquart, etc., etc.

This example of Großdeutschlands Wiedergeburt - Weltgeschichtliche Stunden an der Donau is in good used condition and GUARANTEED to be absolutely authentic historical Third Reich material over 70 years old.
