RICHARD WALTHER DARRE
(1895 - 1953) Nazi Minister of Food and head of the Central Office of Race and Resettlement of the SS. Signed book, "Zucht und Sitte" ("Discipline and Morals"), by R. Walther Darre (Goslar: Verlag Blut und Boden), 1940, 114pp. 4to, by Darre in black ink on the front flyleaf, above a tipped-in photograph of himself, with the place and date: "Goslar: 21. XI. 1950". The book consists of 80 quotes gleaned from Darre's other books about the nature of German righteousness. For example: "Breeding is an art and not a science... All breeding progress is always based initially on the extermination of the inferior and one the protection of privileged blood." One page of these sayings has been erroneously placed upside-down, opposite the title page. The book is bound in taupe cloth-covered boards, which are slightly warped and stained, else very good.
