Welcome to the Third-Reich-Posters website where you will find an unrivalled selection of hard to find items.

The name is historical and goes back to when we solely sold posters relating to the Third Reich Era.

We have since developed way beyond this due to the expectations, needs and requests from our varied and worldwide customer base. The price of original period pieces is prohibitively expensive and the requirements for careful storage of them often mean they are unable to be displayed and that is where we are able to help with faithful reproductions or period pieces.

Our customer base includes, museums, military establishments, veterans, T.V prop departments, university libraries and private collectors who are looking for some extra context to add to their collection.

Our wide range of translated books gives the reader an insight into how and why the Third Reich was established and why things happened as they did.

Why do we sell Third Reich related items ? Well one major factor is that their is less competition. As sites such as Amazon and E Bay have banned such items from sale it has not lessened the demand for them and indeed it can be said by banning them they have made them more desirable and have created a larger cross section of interest in this specialist niche in the marketplace. The inability to purchase on these platforms has meant that people and institutions now come to us for these items. None of these items are intended, and nor do, they incite any form  of "hate" , "intolerance" or "violence". They are meant for academic and historical  study and if abused then that is due to the interpretation of the individual not the contents of the book. If you want to blame books and ban them from sale  then you had better start by banning the Tora, Koran and Bible all of whom have passages which could be said to incite hatred, misogyny, or intolerance in one form or another.

We do offer for sale a selection of Allied posters but as these are readily available elsewhere we do not see much demand for them, but we do still offer them for sale in the interests of diversity of opinion and balance. We did however have to stop selling the Churchill busts as in 5 years we sold 1 compared to over 100 comparable sized busts of Adolf Hitler, we do not stock what people do not wish to purchase.

We advance no political agenda other than freedom of thought and expression. If you dislike what we sell then feel free to take your business and political ideology, whether Red or Brown, elsewhere.

The history of, and leading up to, WW2 is forever and can not be denied. It is not yours, or ours, to erase, rewrite, tear down or deny !

The society we have today is the child of the past and it is what it is so act accordingly.

Description

 

Breaking the Chains by Carlos Caballero Jurado is a detailed and highly specialized study of Ukrainian collaborationist formations on the Eastern Front during World War II, with a particular focus on the 14th Waffen-SS Division “Galizien.”

The book aims to go beyond a simple unit history by placing the division within the broader political and national context of Ukraine in the interwar and wartime periods. Jurado devotes significant attention to Ukrainian nationalist movements—particularly the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN)—and explains how these groups laid the groundwork for collaboration with Germany.

One of the book’s strengths is its scope. Rather than focusing narrowly on a single unit, it also covers earlier formations such as the Roland and Nachtigall battalions, police units, and other “Osttruppen,” giving readers a wider picture of Ukrainian involvement in German military structures. The inclusion of maps, photographs, and appendices—detailing ranks, formations, and terminology—adds to its value as a reference work.

Jurado also attempts to address the complex and often contradictory political situation in Ukraine, including the impact of German occupation policies and the rise of anti-German resistance movements like the UPA. This effort to contextualize events is one of the book’s more commendable aspects.

However, like many works in this niche, the book has limitations. The narrative tends to focus heavily on military organization, unit movements, and operational history, sometimes at the expense of deeper critical analysis. Ethical, ideological, and civilian-impact dimensions—particularly the controversial role of Waffen-SS units—are not explored in as much depth as modern scholarship might expect.

Additionally, the writing style can feel dense and occasionally dry, especially for readers not already familiar with the Eastern Front or the structure of German and auxiliary forces. While specialists and enthusiasts will appreciate the level of detail, more general readers may find it overly technical.

Final Verdict:
Breaking the Chains is best suited for readers with a strong interest in Eastern Front military history or foreign volunteer formations. It offers solid research and useful reference material, but its narrow focus and limited critical perspective mean it should be supplemented with more recent, analytical works.
