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.

STORMTROOPER MARCHES

£14.99

Description

Includes favourites like: Pariser Einzugsmarsch (Paris Entry March), Lili Marlene, and Wacht am Rhein.

It seems remarkable that the music on this C.D., once familiar to the entire German people, was so purged from their culture in the post-war period that the songs and instrumentals performed during Hitler’s struggle for power seemed to have utterly vanished. Throughout the last half of the 20th Century, collectors seeking these rare recordings considered themselves fortunate indeed to find a relatively undamaged copy of the Nazi Party’s formerly ubiquitous anthem, the Horst Wessel Song, or the Fuehrer’s personal favourite, the Badenweiler March.

In view of such long-term scarcity, they must feel very fortunate to have at their disposal the twenty-three selections, all performed and recorded in the original circumstances of the 1920s and ‘30s, presented on “Stormtrooper Marches”. Not only does it feature the Horst Wessel Song and Badenweiler, but far less well-remembered numbers, such as the “Stahlhelm Bundesmarsch” and “Franz Seldte”. Both refer to the “Steel Helmet”, an organization of World War One veterans, who allied themselves with the Nazi Party, and voluntarily abolished their group after the National Socialist “Seizure of Power” on 30 January 1933. These two marches are like many of the selections, in that they originated during Hitler’s early political struggle, and reflect that period.

For example, the “SA Totenmarsch”, or Stormtrooper funeral march, accompanied the hundreds of men, women and children who fell in street battles against their numerous opponents. Their sacrifice echoes in “Als die goldnen Abendsonne” (“As the golden evening sun”, which tells of the body of an SA man carried by his comrades to the grave; “Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden” (I once had a comrade”), a popular First World War dirge performed here by an SA Band; and “In Muenchen sind viele gefallen” (“In Munich many have fallen”), dedicated to the sixteen National Socialist demonstrators shot by government forces in 1923.

These dark harmonies are contrasted by the up-beat “Heide Marie”, about a Stormtrooper’s girl friend he cannot forget, even when he’s marching along the banks of the Rhein, or “Am Adolf Hitler Platz”, a plaza where Germans can escape the depression of Weimar democracy. More typical are “Volk ans Gewehr” (“Folk, take up arms!”), “Es zittern die morschen Knochen” (“The rotten skulls are decaying”) and “Die Braune Kompanie” (“The Brown Company”), which surge with iron fortitude and grim determination.

As such, this collection accurately reflects the times in which they were recorded. They are beyond duplication, and cannot be identically performed today, because the spirit that motivated them is absent from these times. Listeners in search of the most hard-driving, militant music, or history students anxious to know what Hitler’s rise to power really sounded like will find “Stormtrooper Marches” a real-life echo of the past that can still stir emotions, one way or the other.
