JOSEPH GOEBBELS
(1897-1945) Nazi Minister of Propaganda with Hitler from the earliest days, a master of manipulation of the masses who took his life and those of his family members in the last days of the war. Important content partly-printed D.S., 3pp. 4to., Berlin, Oct. 10, 1935, the publishing contract between Goebbels and the official publishing house for the NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger giving the publishing house exclusive rights to Der Angriff - Aufsaetze aus der Kampfzeit ("The Attack - Essays from the Time of Struggle"). The terms of the contract are standard for the time and place: Goebbels gives permission for publication and distribution in all forms, Goebbels warrants that he is of "true Aryan origin", he will receive a 10% royalty, and so on. File holes, else very good. Der Angriff founded by Goebbels in 1927, was a mass circulation paper that fought the hated "System" with rude and aggressive language. Anti-parliamentarism and anti-semitism were its self-defining themes. The most regular contributors were party functionaries; lead articles were usually written by Goebbels and signed "Dr. G." The book mentioned here is a collection of Goebbels' essays.
