The Reichsparteitag (National Party Days) were, in the first place, great military style shows of different political themes with demonstrations and processions of hundreds of thousands of the National Socialist Party faithful. Almost resembling the celebration of a religious service, the intended effect was mass intoxication through force of will. Each Parteitag stood under a motto, and in 1938 it was the idea of 'Grossdeutschland' (Greater Germany), after the reunification with Austria and the Sudetenland. Until today, an NSDAP Parteitag (Party Rally) could not be shown in large, impressive color photos. Now, for the first time in full color are the demonstrations, parades, torch-lit processions, etc., from the SA, SS, Hitler Youth, BDM, Reichsarbeitsdienst (German Labor Service), party officials, and the four branches of the Armed Forces, as well as portraits of the leading politicians of the day, including Hitler, Goebbels, Hierl, Todt, and many others, all shown in brilliant full color. German language book with photo captions translated into English on a separate translation sheet enclosure. Large format book with many of the photos being full-page or gate-fold.

Its two closest sister units, the "Wachbataillon Berlin" and the "Führer Begleit Battalion" are also covered in the same superb level of detail. Awards, decorations, portraits and personal effects of common soldiers and noted personalities, covering every arm of service within the units, are presented in over 3,000 spectacular color and black and white images.

A visceral account from contemporaneous diaries of a soldier who frequently came close to death but somehow survived.Following his Abitur (A-levels) in 1940, Rehfeldt volunteered for the Panzer Arm but was trained on the heavy mortar and heavy MG with Grossdeutschland Division.He was on the Front from 1941 fighting for the city of Tula, south of Moscow. Battling in freezing conditions, at its lowest -52℃, the descriptions of the privations are vivid and terrifying. With no winter clothes they resorted to using those taken from Soviet corpses.In 1942, fighting near Oriel, however, his battalion suffered heavy losses and was disbanded. Ill with frostbitten legs, Rehfeldt was treated in hospital and once recovered was dispatched to the Front.Following various battles (Werch, Bolchov) his battalion again suffered heavy losses and it merged. In agony from severe frostbite to his legs, Rehfeldt defied the odds and astonished his surgeon when he walked again. He was promoted from Gunner to Trained Private Soldier in 1942, and to Corporal for bravery in the field in 1943.He was awarded numerous honors including the Wound Badge and the Infantry Assault Badge.On 3 May 1945 he was captured by US Forces and held as POW for one month in a camp at Waschow before internment in Holstein from where he was released in July 1945 after agreeing to work on the land. In December 1945 he began studying veterinary medicine: his future career.This astonishing account of a man who kept bouncing back from near death is a testament to the author’s determination and sheer strength of spirit.
