Konzentrationslager Oranienburg. - [WHITEWASHING OF THE FIRST GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMP]
Berlin, (1934). Original printed wrappers. a bit of wear to capitals with minor loss to top one. Notes to blank verso of final leaf. 246, (2) pp.
First edition, first printing of this scarce account of the first German concentration camp, a whitewashing apologetic “Anti-Brown-Book”, in which the camp commander attempts to disprove allegations against the camp as “atrocious propaganda”. “The Oranienburg concentration camp was established as one of the first concentration camps on March 21, 1933, overshadowed by the Day of Potsdam. After the “Night of the Long Knives,” the SA-run camp was taken over by the SS in July 1934 and dissolved a little later… Initially SA-Regiment 208 (Standarte 208) established the Oranienburg concentration camp without notifying the responsible authorities in Berlin beforehand. The first inmates were 40 prisoners who were dragged to the small town 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) north of Berlin on the evening of March 21, 1933. The first concentration camp in Prussia was thus situated on the grounds of a former brewery on a main road in Oranienburg. From September 1933, subcamps existed at the Elisenau manor in Blumberg near Bernau and in Börnicke. (https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/oranienburg-1) “Seger managed to escape in December 1933, fleeing first to Czechoslovakia and later to the United States of America. His book on the terror in Oranienburg was one of the first books written about the conditions in a concentration camp from firsthand experience.” (Holocaust Encyclopaedia) “Only a few days after the establishment of the camp, SA Standartenführer Werner Schulze-Wechsungen transferred control of the camp to the Potsdam district president. Henceforth the camp as well as the guards were paid from tax money. In total, the German tax payer paid 280,000 Reichsmark (RM) between August 1933 and July 1934 to sustain the camp. Internment in the camp was initiated not only by the police and party authorities but also by local administrative authorities. Only because of its location in the town, the camp proved to be a “transparent concentration camp.” The town of Oranienburg had the political prisoners perform communal work. The camp commander, SA-Sturmbannführer Werner Schäfer, compiled an apologetic “Anti-Brown Book” (Anti-Braunbuch), in which he characterized allegations about the Oranienburg concentration camp as “atrocious propaganda.” Repeatedly he invited German and foreign journalists to tour the camp. A radio program “reported” from the concentration camp. The local press wrote extensively about the new institution. Also, movie theaters showed propagandistic photos of the new concentration camp. About 3,000 prisoners were deprived of their liberty in the Oranienburg concentration camp. The number of prisoners varied considerably. It rose rapidly until August 1933, from 97 to 911, but declined by the end of June 1934 to 271. The prisoners were mostly between the ages of 20 and 40, laborers, unemployed, from Berlin and from the area north of Berlin. Many were taken to Oranienburg after the dissolution of smaller Brandenburg concentration camps (including Alt Daber, Börnicke, Havelberg, and Perleberg) in June and July 1933. Prisoners from the concentration camps in Börgermoor, Lichtenburg, and Sonnenburg were interned at Oranienburg in September and October. Most of the inmates were members of the German Communist Party (KPD), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and smaller left-wing organizations such as the Socialist Workers’ Party (SAP) and the German Communist Party Opposition (KPO). It is noteworthy that about 50 Jewish youths were also carried off to the camp from a home dedicated to advanced pedagogical ideas that was operated by the German Jewish Community Association (Deutsch-israelitischer Gemeindebund) in Wolzig. They had been abducted because of “Communist activities”.” (Holocaust Encyclopaedia)

Album souvenir. Friedberg-en-Hesse, Allemagne. Album souvenir d'un Officier Français prisonnier lors de la Première Guerre Mondiale. Souvenir album of a French Officer, a prisoner in Friedberg-en-Hesse, Germany, World War 1. Photo album beautifully decorated in an Art Nouveau style and revealing the day-to-day reality of a camp reserved for high-ranking prisoners in enemy territory during WWI.
[Friedberg-en-Hesse, Germany], No publisher, unique piece, 1915. Oblong format : 10.8 x 7.5 inch. Bound in full beige cloth (new), with two closing laces. 68 pages. Moving and interesting album relating to the captivity in Germany, during the First World War, of a French officer of the 46th Infantry Regiment, Second-Lieutenant Romain Talabot. It contains a postcard, 114 original photographs, often captioned, and numerous illustrations (mainly ornamental) providing a glimpse, over the course of 1915, of life in the Friedberg-en-Hesse prison camp. Several views, some of them aerial, show the layout and environment of the camp : the large courtyard, the buildings (barracks, gymnasium) and the surrounding landscape (the village of Friedberg and the Taunus mountain range). Portraits make up a majority of the shots : individual or group, they evoke the diversity of nationalities present, with French, English, Belgian, Russian and colonial army officers rubbing shoulders, as well as ranks, arms (infantry, cavalry, etc.) and geographical and military origins (the 46th, 147th and 256th are mentioned). Thus, according to the author's indications, among the French there are the “Bourguignons”, the “5 Batignollais”, the “Africans”, or even an Algerian ; Belgians and Russians form groups that are sometimes separate, sometimes mixed with the others, and there seems to be a certain solidarity among these companions in misfortune, even a frank camaraderie that shows in their faces or attitudes. Added to this, is the variety of religious denominations, alluded to by photos of a Russian pope and those of Abbé Noël Delattre, former vicar of Cambrai and then the camp's Catholic chaplain, posing by the altar in the prayer room. The photographs reveal the day-to-day reality of a camp reserved for high-ranking prisoners in enemy territory, in stark contrast to the extremely harsh living conditions of ordinary soldiers : at Friedberg, Talabot and his fellow prisoners had relatively spacious rooms, a kitchen, a refectory, a café-like “buvette” and a vegetable garden. Although the camera's lens captured the changing of the guards and sentries, as well as Zeppelin and airship overflights of the camp, or the arrival of parcels - reminiscent of the immediate wartime context - it is the many leisure activities that are highlighted here : music and singing in a dedicated room, sports practiced in equipped areas such as the gymnasium or the tennis court, table games (bridge) or outdoor games, such as the traditional Russian gorodky*, the popularity of wich is shown through several photos. Lastly, the photographs occasionally document some out-of-the-ordinary episodes : the transfer of the Belgians to Magdeburg, the organization of religious ceremonies on the feasts of Joan of Arc and the Assumption (August 15th, 1915), the burial of a second lieutenant (who had two services, one Catholic and the other Orthodox, celebrated by French and Russians officers, respectively). As for the illustrations, with the exception of a full-page composition for the album's title, they are meticulously framed, with great finesse, in black (ink) and color (watercolor). Their mixed style, between Art Nouveau arabesques or floral patterns and sober, geometric incoming Art Deco lines, will be noted with interest. A pleasant and unique collection. * gorodki is a traditional sports game that was very popular in 19th-century Russia. On a 22 x 12 m rectangular field, a 2 m square (“gorod”) is marked out and 5 wooden cylinders (“gorodki”) are arranged in 15 set configurations. The aim is to knock down these “skittles”, from a distance of 13, then 6.5 m, using wooden bats, in a minimum time and a reduced number of throws.
A few photographs exposed or damaged (last 2 pages, in particular), old small traces of glue and watermarks (healthy dampness, however), serpents not uniform and sometimes missing or partial, spine very slightly warped, paper endpapers and back covers replaced, otherwise good condition. Formed at the beginning of Louis XIV's reign under the name “Mazarin-Français”, the 46th Infantry Regiment became the “régiment Bretagne” in 1658. It adopted the motto “Rather die than fail”, and its badge featured the figure of Théophile Malo Corret de La Tour d'Auvergne, killed in 1800. Having distinguished itself in the wars of the 19th century, the 46th was formed in Paris on August 7, 1914, with 50 officers (including 38 on active duty) and 3,322 troopers, all under the command of Colonel Malleterre. Engaged in the Meuse from the 8th of August, it took part in the Marne victory, before moving to Argonne at the end of October. Faced with the Kronprinz's troops, it suffered a violent German attack at the Haute Chevauchée on January the 7th and 8th, 1915: many were killed and wounded, and among the missing was second lieutenant Romain Talabot, who was actually taken prisoner and transferred to the Friedberg-en-Hesse camp. This officers' camp (like Magdeburg, Burg, Crefeld and Mainz) is the result of the Germans' conversion of recent barracks. If we are to believe the report signed by National Councillor Eugster, representative of the Geneva International Committee to the German Committee for the Distribution of Gifts to French Prisoners, after visiting 17 prison camps (including Friedberg) in Germany between February 25th and March 10th 1915, the enemy administration had shown remarkable speed and efficiency in erecting these buildings. The Frenchman was full of praise for the hygiene (daily showers, baths every 8-10 days), the comfort of the accommodation and living conditions (light, heating, “model” sanitary and hospital facilities, large and beautiful kitchens equipped with modern cooking appliances, food in sufficient quantity and of good quality), the facilities (sports grounds, halls of worship, libraries) and services (regular mail delivery, cultural activities) enjoyed, in particular, by the officers' camps, concluding that “all these places will make pleasant places to stay in summer”. These observations corroborate the impression conveyed by the photographs in this album, namely that internment conditions were better than those portrayed by propaganda speeches and “rear” press organs. Officer Talabot was new to Friedberg-en-Hesse at the time of this spring 1915 inspection, but we don't know whether he met Councillor Eugster and whether he would have confirmed his statements. Likewise, we still need to clarify the reasons for and means of producing these photographs, the album and its ornamentation, as well as the background of its author, recorded in the archives as a second lieutenant and then a lieutenant under 4 different regimental numbers. A precious and unusual record of the fate of Allied officers taken prisoner in 1914-1918. - Clients Livre Rare Book : Les frais postaux indiqués sont ceux pour la France métropolitaine et la Corse, pour les autres destinations, merci de contacter la librairie pour connaître le montant des frais d'expédition, merci de votre compréhension.
