This is a quality hardbound, large format book, filled with amazing color photographs. Text and captions are in German, with a separate English language photo caption translation sheet included.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
One selected books by the amount of pictures and illustrations. Well, I sort of feel like that with this book and others of the same publisher. Seriously. This is a German book and -of course- is written in German, which I do not read so I am reduced to look at the pictures. But pictures were the reason I bought the book to begin with and as person interested in Nazi Germany history I can say the photographas are excellent and many of them I had not seen before. Who knows? I could end learning a little German just to enjoy this book more
Great photographs

Great color photographs of the Berghof and it's inhabitance. Worth it for the pictures even if you don't read German.
Great book, great photos

This book is loaded with really good quality images from the Berghof as well as profiles of many German leaders and Nazi party members that visited the Berghof. Many of the images are full page and vivid in color. Its easy to see the importance this place had to Hitler, in particular, and later the Nazi movement even if you cannot or do not read the captions (or tranlations). I recommend for those interested in architecture and German history.
Mindblowing

Exceptional photo book. Walter Frentz pictures of Hitler and Third Reich abituè are nothing less than amazing. The book takes you to the Berghof and it lets you move in rooms and places never seen before. Colors are really wonderful. You feel you're there with those gangsters. You feel the atmosphere, you almost hear the words, smell the air, ... It's a travel in time. Just one complaint. It only left you beg for more "real life" pictures. Personally I prefer the reality pictures to the portraits. Maybe there are too many dignitaries portraits in the book. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic portraits (with the same color quality of the other pictures) of some of Berghof's usual guests, but maybe there are too many in the end (half of the book's pictures are portraits). Anyway they are useful if you read a lot of books on the Reich. In this way you have those criminal faces right in front of you to consider. Absolutly a great book in the end, a musthave if you are really interested in III Reich History.
