Hamburg-bahrenfeld Cigaetten-Bilderdienst and Altona-Bahrendfeld, 4to. Published by Reemtsma (try to pronounce that) of Germany, a cigarette manufacturer known for its output of German cigarette cards. Originally, cards would be put in cigarette packs and were thus collected. Then Reemtsma had the idea of putting coupons in the packs which could then be exchanged for cards, thereby enabling collectors to collect mint copies that had not been mangled in the packs. Albums such as this one were very popular and collectors would gather the cards over time and paste them into the book in the appropriate place. You could also purchase them complete. Vol. 1 complete with all 175 medium and large size, color and black & white cards, glossy photos of the 1936 Winter Olympics at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, also has sections on the history of the modern games and preparations for the Summer Games in Berlin, 127 pages. With a large fold out map of the Olympic venue sites in Berlin, hard covers with gold foil stamped Olympic Bell on front. Vol. 2 complete with all 200 medium and large size, black & white cards, glossy photos of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, 168 pages, hard covers with a gold stamped Olympic Bell on the front. Volume 1 is very good+ near fine with small amount of glue on spine. Volume 2 is fine. It even has the quality inspector's slip laid in! Both are near perfect inside with no markings, writing or marks, pages fresh. Bindings are a slightly different blue since they are possibly two different editions. With many photos of Hitler and the Nazi party's influence on Germany. A grim foreshaddow of what was to come. An attractive set rarely found in such nice shape. Very collectible.

Hitler, Swastika, Willi Koenitzer
