BALDUR V. SCHIRACH SIGNED HITLER-JUGEND HJ BOOK
BALDUR VON SCHIRACH signed copy of PIMPF IM DIENST with original photo found inside with signatures on reverse. It is a very interesting 5 x 7-3/4 inch, 348 page hard cover book that was first published in 1934 by the Reich Youth Leadership, printed by Ludwig Voggenreiter Verlag in Potsdam. Offered here is a nice copy of the 1934 first edition. The book was published with two cover designs but with identical content. One cover depicted a Pimpf beating a HJ drum and the second version is like this one, with a Pimpf with trumpet on the cover. The heavily illustrated book contains everything the youngest member of the Hitler Youth in the German Third Reich, the Pimpf in the Jungvolk, had to know in order to become a functioning member of his unit. Explained are lots of sports exercises, shooting training, activities out in the field like how to read a compass, how to read a map, how to put up a tent, start a fire, etc., the book even gives information on the discounts for Jungvolk members when buying tickets for public transportation and so on…!
