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

Master Life is a very interesting booklet because it reflects a particular strand of National socialist-era ideology rather than documenting political events.

The author “Anton Holzner” was actually the pseudonym of Albert Hartl, a former Catholic priest who left the Church and became an SS officer (Sturmbannfuhrer). Several sources identify Holzner as Hartl’s pen name.

What kind of book is it?

Master Life (Meistere das Leben or Bemästre das Leben in some translations) was originally published in Germany around 1940–42. It is a short work of 47pages composed of essays and reflections on character, morality, duty, endurance, courage, sacrifice, and self-discipline.

Topics  include:

  • Obligation and duty
  • Inner freedom
  • Trust and love
  • Courage and justice
  • Endurance and patience
  • Discipline and self-mastery
  • Sacrifice and renunciation
  • “Mastering life” as a personal ideal

The ideological context

Although some modern editions market it as a general self-improvement or character-building text, it was originally written within the ideological framework of National Socialism. Hartl/Holzner was attempting to articulate what Nazi writers called a gottgläubig (“God-believing” but non-Christian) or Germanic-national worldview that would replace traditional Christianity.

In that sense, the book is not simply a self-help manual. It was part of a broader effort by some National Socialist intellectuals to create:

  • A non-Christian ethical system.
  • A specifically German nationalist morality.
  • A code of conduct emphasizing service, discipline, and loyalty to the nation.
