This green cloth-bound volume titled Hindenburg features a colored family crest on the cover and gold gilt lettering. Published by Wilhelm Limpert-Verlag, Berlin, during the Third Reich era (1933-1945), it was produced as a state-sanctioned historical commemoration. The book documents the life of Paul von Hindenburg from his birth in 1847 through his state funeral at Tannenberg in 1934. Its comprehensive photographic biography includes rare images of Hindenburg’s military career, his service during the First World War, and the ceremonial context of his funeral. The edition links Imperial German military traditions with the emerging identity of the Third Reich. Text and visual content reflect this political context. The copy exhibits minor cover staining and edge wear but presents intact interior pages with photographs, illustrative plates, and historical narrative.
