GERMAN HISTORY OF THE SWASTIKA
Rare German propaganda text, a history of the swastika: "Vom Hakenkreuz" by Dr. Joerg Lechler (Leipzig: Curt Kabitzsch Verlag), 1934, 92pp. large octavo, second edition. Archaeologist Lechler uses over 600 illustrations to trace the history of a symbol now inextricably tied to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. The examination follows the history of the symbol across centuries and continents, in every permutation, until the text concludes with its use during the Third Reich...and permanent association with Nazism. Very good.
