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.

IL DUCE VICTORIA

£14.99

Description

Includes the English translation to Benito Mussolini’s address of May 9, 1936 proclaiming a
New Roman Empire.

While a great deal of Third Reich music has become familiar to 21st Century audophiles — thanks in large measure to the proliferation of compact disc production — they are far less well acquainted with the marches and anthems of Germany’s ally, Fascist Italy. That oversight has been redressed by the appearance of “Il Duce Victoria” , a new album introducing the unique musical output of “The Third Alternative”, as Benito Mussolini described his opposition to Communism and Capitalism. He, in fact, opens the collection with a speech excerpt announcing the conquest of Ethiopia.

The nearly two dozen instrumental and choral selections that follow are entirely unlike their heavier German contemporaries in that they sport a verve and passion no less Fascist than Italian. Our personal favourite is “San Marco”, sung by the men of that most remarkable army division which demolished Churchill’s “Operation Agreement” at Tobruk, so much so, Allied historians are still loathe to even mention it.

The only selections listeners may recognise is an Italian version of “Lilli Marlene” (probably the most beautiful rendition of this famous song ever recorded), and La Giovinessa, “Youth”, the Fascist anthem, made all the more exciting to hear when we realize that it is still banned in “democratic” Italy, where listening to it can land you in jail. The Inno a Roma, or “Hymn to Rome”, was written by none other than the world-renowned opera composer, Giacomo Puccini, and was generally regarded as Fascism’s second official song. Another formerly famous piece is “Vincere” (“Victory”), especially popular during the Spanish Civil War, where, after all, Italian arms were victorious. If the poundingly powerful Il Passaggio Battaglioni conjures images of Black Shirt armies on the march throughout Italy, then Ala Imperial, “Imperial Wings” soars with the pilots of the Regia Aeronautica, the Fascist Air Force.

As music, these performances, preserved with clarity and arranged so dramatically on “Il Duce Victoria”, are as thrilling as they are catchy. As history, they comprise a time-document capable of providing us with a palpable feel for the times in which they were so lustily sung and enjoyed by millions of listeners.
