   I just Dugg it for you. “The Third Reich Collection, a miscellany of books, albums, and printed materials from the Reichskanzlei Library in Berlin and the private book collections of several high-ranking Nazi Party officials, was discovered in a salt mine near Berchtesgaden among Nazi property that has been removed from Berlin during the last stages of World War II. The so-called Hitler Library was screened by the U.S. Army Document Center in Munich and shipped to the Library of Congress in 1946. A large number of the 1,019 volumes transferred to the Rare Book and Special Collections Division are official presentation copies which bear dedications, notes of transmittal, or in some cases Hitler’s eagle bookplate. Several books were acquired by Hitler before 1930. The Third Reich Collection also includes a set of Die Alte Garde spricht, a series of typed autobiographies of Nazi Party members; a Braille edition of Mein Kampf; and materials from the libraries of Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Franz Zaver Schwarz, and other Nazi leaders.

   The other seventy photo albums from the Third Reich Collection have been transferred to the Prints and Photographs Division. Most of the albums were prepared as gifts for party leaders and contain photographs of German cities, official construction projects, scenic points of interest, art works, and Nazi activities. Some albums include German captions.”

   Thanks for this post. I went through the entire sequence of images in the gallery, through your link, and it’s an amazingly rich resource, not just for art-lovers. Now, if only there were text descriptions of each image depicted online, that would have enhanced the experience.

   Hitler was one of the iconic figures in the human history and the collection of images is exemplary. Thanks to to researcher Dr. Birgit Schwartz, who had been studying Hitler’s art collecting and spotted the painting’s photo at the Library and also those who have made this post possible…
