SS Leithefte 1.Jahrgang.10.Jahrgang The SS-Leitheft was a Nazi SS periodical that ran from 1934 to 1944 and encapsulated much of Himmler's vision for the SS and how it should be presented and seen by members and by others. Often referred to as the 'Leadership' magazine the SS-Leitheft was designed to teach and preach National Socialist ideology and NS lifestyle to members of the SS. Many issues focused on racial politics blood lines Aryanism and the importance of racial purity. The whole visual look of these rare magazines was to enforce and enhance the SS ascetic and elite style. The typography use of runic and Nordic symbols photography and illustration was all geared to push the SS ideology and Nazism in its purist form. This fine collection of SS-Leithefte has taken many years to compile. A very small number around 3 of issues from the 1.Jahrgang are known to exist in two Deutsche Bibliothek and there are no doubt an equally small number in private collections.

194443207No Place Amsterdam No Publisher Der Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer Nordwest Nederlands 1944. ; No Date 1944. Presume 1st edition. Original pink printed paper ca 22 x 17 inches. Dual German & Dutch text. Original Nazi anti-resistance poster from occupied Amsterdam announcing that “a number of people have been shot by firing squad or on the spot in recent days for attempting to commit sabotage against the German occupying forces†and warning that “The population of the city of Amsterdam is seriously warned to refrain from anything that endangers public peace and security. Violations of this will be severely punished.†<br> A final sentence notes in all capital letters that “TEARING DOWN OR DAMAGING THIS POSTER IS PUNISHABLE.â€<br> The handwritten date “16-9-44†is legible in the lower right corner; we presume this to be the date that the poster was originally either put up or taken down. <br> Anne Frank's life in Amsterdam was defined by the Nazi occupation and her family's subsequent hiding to evade persecution. The Nazi invasion in 1940 led to the implementation of anti-Jewish laws forcing the Frank family to go into hiding in 1942 to avoid deportation to concentration camps. During this time Anne documented her experiences and thoughts in her diary which later became the world’s defining first-hand account of Jewish life during the Holocaust. <br> Over 80% of Amsterdam’s 79000 Jews were murdered by the Nazis. <br> We have been able to locate no other surviving copies of this rare original Nazi poster from occupied Amsterdam.<br> Paper very slightly age toned as expected but colors and text remain bright and clear. A vertical and horizontal fold probably dating to the date of production remain but with no tears. An amazingly well-preserved original Nazi poster from the occupation of Amsterdam. Very Good Condition. Very Displayable B Holo2-163-5. No Place [Amsterdam?] No Publisher [Der Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer Nordwest Nederlands] unknown

193483668New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1934. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. A very good copy with some smudging and light staining in a supplied but sympathetic very good price-clipped dust jacket with slight internal stains. Inscribed by the author: "To Dr. Hugh Stott Taylor With great appreciation for his gracious assistance and with warm personal regards. S.S. Van Dine." The English-born Taylor was a chemist who spent much of his life at Princeton and who in World War II played a prominent role in the American scientific effort directing a number of research projects and contributing to the development of the atomic bomb with his discovery of the most effective catalyst for producing heavy water. He was knighted by both the Queen and the Pope in the same month. A Chair in chemistry is named for him at Princeton. The inscription would seem to indicate that Taylor provided advice to Van Dine about the novel or at least to Willard Huntington Wright as Van Dine was a pseudonym. A Philo Vance novel filmed in 1935 with Paul Lukas as Vance starring opposite Rosalind Russell in one of her earliest roles. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover

19281095801928. Signed. WRIGHT Willard Huntington VAN DINE S.S. The Benson Murder Case. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1928. Octavo contemporary three-quarter green crushed morocco elaborately gilt-decorated spine raised bands decorative endpapers top edge gilt. $1400.Third edition of the first Philo Vance novel by legendary critic and editor Willard Wright under the pseudonym of S.S.Van Dine a Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone mystery a splendid presentation copy inscribed by him to his close friend ""To Norbert L. Lederer. In memory of Hopatcong and the Uberbrettl movementthe place and the subject which resulted in our friendship. S.S. Van Dine New York.""Lederer the recipient of this distinctive copy was a close friend of Wright who published his Philo Vance series under the pseudonym of S.S. Van Dine. When Wright was ordered to take a break from overwork Lederer stepped in and told his friend to instead ""devote his life to writing crime novels"" Sanchez Jose Raul Capablanca 276. Lederer offered Wright access to his ""vast collection of detective fiction. Wright then read all of the authors of crime fiction old and new and decided he could do better"" Backer Mystery Movie Series 5-6. As Wright began working on Benson Murder Case the first Philo Vance novel he asked Lederer a member of the prestigious Manhattan Chess Club to arrange a meeting with Alexander Alekhine who became the Fourth World Champion of Chess in 1927. Wright used that meeting to gain background for Philo Vance's talent for solving chess-related murders. In 1933 New Yorker magazine reported that Lederer ""gave S. S.Van Dine the chess and mathematical dope for The Bishop Murder Case.""When Wright began ""crafting his influential theory of detective fiction he drafted several story outlines and submitted three to Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's promptly receiving a contract."" Benson Murder Case launched ""what Haycraft has called the ""Golden Age Van Dine's place in the history of the American detective story is secure and important"" Reilly 1415. ""Philo Vance was an American cousin to Lord Peter Wimsey and forefather of many later detectives"" Hardy BFI Companion to Crime 137. At his death Wright was ""the best known American writer of the detective story since Poe His name will endure among the immortals of the literature"" Haycraft 168. Preceded by the 1926 first and 1927 second editions. With page of publisher's advertisement at rear. Reilly 1414. Hubin 414. Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone. See Barzun & Taylor 3268. From the library of Norbert L. Lederer with his bookplate. The ""überbrettl movement"" of Wright's inscription highlights a type of literary cabaret popular in Berlin at the turn of the century; ""hopatcong"" likely refers to an area not far from New York City. The two men shared a keen interest in chess and Lake Hopatcong was the center for major chess tournaments in the 1920s including one in 1926 won by the chess champion defeated by Alekhine in 1927. A suspect in The 'Canary' Murder Case the second Philo Vance novel complains of getting ticketed for speeding while ""driving down to Hopatcong.""Text fine lightest edge-wear faint toning to spine.
