DESCRIPTION: This is possibly the greatest On page 3 of the Chronik is a handwritten signature and a short message dated 25 July 1937. The message, written as a dedication of the school's opening reads (translated): "If you have victory it should make you modest. If you suffer defeat, you grind your teeth. But in victory or defeat always be a knightly After the Himmler dedication there are about 6 pages giving the background of the history of the planning, architecture, future plans, ideas, and a section giving the history of With the massive volume are two important letters. One is from H. Himmler to the school and H. Fegelein dated 13 February 1939 congratulating the school and its commander for its accomplishments at the Berlin Reit und Fahrturnier tournament. This letter is initialed by Fegelein as having read it. The other letter is from Fegelein as commander of the school to Reichsführer- Also on the various pages of the book are typewritten pages on tissue-type paper. These are the original notes done to instruct how the calligraphy was to be done (the text). The actual calligraphy goes up to, as I have recounted, June 1939; however, there are 4 more typewritten and handwritten pages for entries that unfortunately were never made; the last being 10 and 11 May for an equestrian contest in Vienna. After this all the academy members were sent to the Russian front as the Florian Geyer This is an incredible book chronicling the names of very early party members, high-ranking A treasure of a little leather-covered album with the name of the school embossed in gold is part of this collection. Included as well will be the recent book Himmler's Cavalry The Equestrian Nothing offered on the web can match this item for historic importance or sheer "bibliophile ecstasy" and SS-collecting fanaticism. The odds against something like this being found no less preserved is fantastic. We are extremely proud to offer it now on Germania's site. PRICE: SOLD |

Das Deutsche Reiterbuch, The German Rider’s Book(Item SS 9-3a) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DESCRIPTION: Here is one of the most beautiful books of the Third German Reich period. We know that it came from the same source that the SS chronicle above came from. It certainly is in the same vein. This is a huge book measuring 10 x 13 inches and is 2 inches thick. It is practically mint in condition. This 114-page book chronicles the history of Germany’s love of horses and riding. The spine has a numeral one on it indicating that there was perhaps a volume two; however, since it was published in 1940, the second year of the war, it is possible that number 2 was never actually published or volume 2 may have been another subject. This is most likely the case since this one is so completely exhaustive of the subject. The book is so overwhelmingly filled to the brim with wonderful pictures that it is difficult to describe. It goes deep into the history of Teutonic and Germanic horsemanship, competitions, parades, anthropology, and contains hundreds of photos of Third Reich participants and founders. The SS, the SA, the Police, the Army, the Olympics, and uniforms and regalia of cavalry units of the Kaiser’s time are featured. Page after page of rich cultural visages abound. The close-up drawings of Wehrmacht and political leaders (full page) are nothing short of great. There are color pictures also here and there. It is hard to even describe this book without thrilling to its sheer importance and beauty. We have never had better! This is a book that should be added to a good archival collection of cultural and historical books.
