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

 

This is an exact copy of the 1942 edition of the superb oversized SS photo book SS Kavallerie im Osten (SS Cavalry in the East). It was published by Verlag Westermann of Braunschweig for the SS-Kavallerie-Brigade, and was especially created for its leaders and men.

Most collectors and many libraries have never seen an actual original example of this book. The book starts with a short history of the origins of the SS-Kavallerie-Brigade (founded by order of Reichsführer-SS Himmler) and their participation in the Wehrmacht invasion of Poland in 1939. The rest of the text covers the start of the “Battle Against Bolshevism”, the invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941.

There are short stories and chapters about military situations in which horses were needed and could perform better than motorcycles, the endless roads east, towns and villages en route, encounters with the enemy, reconnaissance patrols, the desolation of the large unpopulated areas of the Soviet Paradise, roads that only existed on maps, swamps and marches, the wounded, overpowering the enemy and then losing ground again, language barriers while dealing with the local population, billeting and food supplies, winter battles of 1942 including the fierce fighting around Demjansk south of Leningrad on 17 February 1942, and finally the return to Germany. The far larger portion of this magnificent book however, contains 296 rare pictures (many full-page) of members of the SS-Cavalry Brigade, their uniforms, their horses, SS-Obergruppenführer Jüttner, SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS Hermann Fegelein (he married Eva Braun’s sister Gretl and eventually became Adolf Hitler’s brother-in-law), training and horse riding championships, SS troops heading east, crossing rivers, transportation of the wounded, battlefield graves and cemeteries, medal award ceremonies in the field, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler visiting and reviewing his troops, SS men at rest in the most unlikely places, staff meetings in a farm field, Nazi artillery, motorcycles and bicycle troops, the contrasts encountered in the Sowjetparadies, rebuilding destroyed bridges (in the nude), fleeing Russian women and children, SS war correspondents and their typewriters at work in the field, transportation problems in muddy swamps and snowy winter conditions, Soviet war dead, Flak pulled on a horse carriage through the snow, SS-Brigadeführer Fegelein with a newborn foal, etc., etc.

There are also several watercolors of Soviet scenery as well as a few pen and ink illustrations, even six color photos. Inside the front and back covers of the three-pound book there are maps of the route of the SS Cavalry in Poland and the Soviet Union. The last four pages contain the index of both text and photographs.
