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

For serious militaria collectors, Exotische stands as one of the most visually impressive and specialised reference works ever produced on Third Reich cloth headgear. First published in 2010, this large-format hardcover immediately distinguishes itself through its sheer scope, presentation quality, and access to elite private collections.

This first volume focuses primarily on soft caps, presenting hundreds of rare and often previously unpublished examples. The strength of the book lies in its exceptional photography—high-resolution, full-colour images that capture fine construction details, insignia, materials, and wear patterns with remarkable clarity. Many of these items have historically only been seen in period black-and-white photographs, making this publication particularly valuable as a modern visual reference. ()

From a collector’s perspective, the range is outstanding. The book covers everything from high-ranking officials’ caps—associated with figures such as Hitler and Göring—to obscure organisational and paramilitary headgear rarely encountered even in advanced collections. () This breadth gives the reader not only a catalogue of rarities but also a deeper appreciation of the diversity within Third Reich-era cloth headgear.

Where Exotische truly excels is as a visual study rather than a step-by-step identification guide. Each piece is described and presented in detail, offering insight into craftsmanship and authenticity markers, though it does not function as a beginner’s “how-to” manual in the same way as more instructional guides. Instead, it serves as a high-end comparative reference—ideal for experienced collectors who already understand the basics and want to refine their eye.

Physically, the book is substantial—over 300 pages in a large format—and feels every bit like a premium collector’s item. () Its weight and presentation reflect its role as a serious reference work rather than a casual read.

Overall Verdict

Exotische is an essential addition to any advanced militaria library. While beginners may find it less instructional than other guides, its unparalleled photography and access to rare material make it invaluable for visual study and authentication comparison. Given its limited availability and high demand, it has also become a collectible in its own right.

Rating: 9/10
A must-have for dedicated collectors, particularly those specialising in cloth headgear of the Third Reich.
