THE REBIRTH OF
GREATER GERMANY - HISTORIC HOURS
ALONG THE DANUBE

This is a nice original example of the 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 86-page, 8 x 11-½ inch hardcover book was published in Wien (Vienna) in 1938 at the direction of Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wiener Neueste Nachrichten, Südwest Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft m.b.H. with an introduction by Hermann Göring and amazing photos by Professor Heinrich Hoffmann.

Schönstein Raumbildwerk (Three Dimensional Picture Publishers) books were unique in that they contained photographic stereo-view cards and a fold-up metal optical device with which the cards could be viewed. If you are not familiar with this Nazi three-dimensional photo 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 the government of 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 red 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-dimensional stereo photographs (REAL photographs from negatives - NOT halftone prints) and the metal viewer with glass lenses (Raumbildbrille) that sets up to view the photographs. 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 Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, the grave of his parents in Leonding, Hitler's huge Mercedes-Benz car or the triumphal entry of Hitler into Austria in March 1938.

Naturally, the subject of the Anschluß is rather broad in its scope. Among the 100 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), 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 rare Third Reich stereo photo book is hardbound with gold embossed lettering on the front cover and the spine. It is complete with both color pictures, all 100 black & white 3D pictures and the metal viewing glasses.

This complete, rare 85 year old example of Großdeutschlands Wiedergeburt - Weltgeschichtliche Stunden an der Donau is in good used condition, with minor wear to the spine which is visible in the picture right. 

A previous owner added a picture of Hitler in front of a swastika flag with Luftwaffe planes flying overhead to the front fly leaf. We did not remove it.
