VERY RARE NAZI PHOTO PUBLICATION ON THE FIRST HUGE
|
The 1st of May 1933 was the first Tag der nationalen Arbeit or National Day of Labor after the Nazi Party was elected to power in Germany. It was a huge celebration all over Nazi Germany and this very rare 90 year old photo publication is all about the 1933 “Labor Day” festivities in the German capital Berlin.

High-ranking Nazi cabinet ministers gave speeches at public gatherings at the Lustgarten, the public park next to the cathedral in downtown Berlin. There were Hitler Youth rallies with Baldur von Schirach as well, and the festivities culminated at Tempelhof Field the night of 1 May 1933. The crowd was reported to have been over 1 million, all came to listen to Adolf Hitler’s speech!
The text of speeches by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Reichsminister Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler and even President Paul von Hindenburg are printed in the back of Der erste deutsche Mai.
The main portion of this 6-5/8 x 10 inch, 64-page softcover photo publication shows pictures of German workers with Nazi swastika flags, Hitler Youth boys, the son of Dr. Goebbels’s wife Magda (in his HJ uniform) presenting flowers to President von Hindenburg, Hitler and Hindenburg in an open Mercedes, Hitler, Minister of the Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick, State Secretary Dr. Otto Meissner, Dr. Goebbels and General Werner von Blomberg, Hitler speaking at the Lustgarten Labor Day event, SA men and Ernst Röhm, SS men enjoying Labor Day festivities, and laborers preparing speakers, spot lights, radio cables and the stage for the main event, the Hitler speech on Tempelhof Field. The pictures of the fireworks and Hitler speech during the evening event are spectacular!

Der erste deutsche Mai starts with four pages of patriotic text by Karl Aloys Schenzinger, the author of Der Hitlerjunge Quex. This is followed by page after page of photos, many by Heinrich Hoffmann, many double-page spreads, and most not found in other publications.
