This a very nice example of the very scarce 9 x 12 inch 96-page Heinrich Hoffmann photo documentary book Wie die Ostmark ihre Befreiung erlebte (How Austria Experienced its Liberation) as published in 1939. The sub-title is 'Adolf Hitler und sein Weg zu Grossdeutschland' or “Adolf Hitler and his Route to Greater Germany”. Heavily decorated with about 20 superb pen-and-ink illustrations and borders by SS Hauptsturmführer Felix Albrecht. There are over 230 different 2 x 2-1/2 inch photo-like cards pasted into the text as well as five full-page photos. There are photos of Adolf Hitler in the army, during the early days of the NSDAP, and in prison at Landsberg am Lech. The story of the electioneering and political success of the Nazi Party is covered in photos and text as are the events during the freeing of the Saar, visiting Benito Mussolini and of course, Austrian reunification with Germany (Der Anschluss). The pictures reflect the condition of the book. There is a little bit rust in the pages and some photos at the end looks with dark brown. Th book in a good shape but the pages were slightly affected due to storage and age.
