This book explores the iconic artifacts, uniforms and insignia that underpinned the concept and philosophy behind Hitler's Third Reich in general, and Himmler's Allgemeine-SS in particular. Formed in 1925 as a personal protection unit for Adolf Hitler, while under the control of Himmler (1929-1945), the Allgemeine-SS grew from a small paramilitary group to one of the most powerful, complex organizations in the Third Reich. Today the Allgemeine-SS is equally enigmatic; as the vehicle by which Himmler proposed to implement his thesis to create a "Center of the New World"; its structure, and psychology remains little-understood. Authored by leading militaria specialists Ulric of England, this book extends deep inside the Allgemeine-SS to reveal an unsurpassed creativity and philosophy. From the iconic, black SS uniform designed by Prof. Karl Diebitsch, graphic designer Walter Heck (and manufacturer Hugo Boss), to the applied arts, for example the "first born" mother's brooch and Allach porcelain flower vase, this authoritative book, presents the most distinguished SS collection to date. A Super-Deluxe book imported from Spain. Published at $95.00, our price only $39.95! Great photos on every page! Back in stock!
