In 1938 Hugo Müller participated in the effort to “reunify Austria with Nazi Germany, the liberation of the Sudeten Germans, and the securing of German borders” and for his work he was awarded this nicely made bound commemorative book with an embossed eagle and swastika on the cover. This fancy booklet with Müller’s name on the certificate on page 1 was issued to Müller by der Generalinspektor für das Deutsche Straßenwesen of Department Wiesbaden. That was the office of Dr. Fritz Todt, builder of the Westwall, the Reichsautobahn and many other important projects.
The last page of the 6-5/8 x 9-1/8 inch, 26-page commemorative publication has an excerpt of the speech Adolf Hitler gave at the Reichsparteitag in Nürnberg on 12 September 1938, covering the order he gave to build the Westwall or Siegfried Line, to protect the western border of Nazi Germany.
Complete and in very nice used condition, with flecking on the cover. Rare!
The Erinnerungsbuch starts with a foreword (shown above) by Adolf Hitler dated 26 November 1938 addressing Müller and his fellow Arbeitskameraden. This is followed by an introduction by Reichsleiter der NSDAP and head of the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, Dr. Robert Ley (shown left) as well as a quote by Commander of the German Army, Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch.
The fine black & white illustrations are by Oscar Graf of Munich and show men of the DAF digging, shoveling, working on the dragon’s teeth of the Westwall, eating in the field and at their barracks. All the images are named in the back of the Nazi booklet.
This 1938 Westwall worker commemorative booklet is offered for sale
for $75.00 delivered by Media Mail in the continental USA.
