The Bloody Record of Nazi Atrocities - The Crimes, by Burnet Hershey; The Punishment by Johannes Steel.

4to (11¼x8½"), illustrated 47, [1] pp. Illustrated from drawings by A.M. Froehlich and others, and from photographs), pictorial wrappers. Wear, a few edge chips and spine nicks, some soiling to wrappers; content browned, paper a bit fragile (normal for this quality); overall about very good. Haunting revelation of the murderous crimes against humanity committed under the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler, "Illustrated with authentic photographs and sketches drawn by artists from 'eye-witness' descriptions." The majority of the drawings are by the legendary Austrian-American illustrator and comic book artist August M. Froehlich. Though other similar pictorials (truncated) appeared after the World War II, this seems to be the first of its kind issued during the war. Divided into sections with titles such as "Biological Warfare - Germany vs. Europe"; "Nazi Slaughter Pens for Europe"; and "Yugoslavia: Land of Corpses. " Johannes Steel is best known for his 1934 book "The Second World War", in which he predicted the war based on an assessment of Nazi intentions and historical parallels. Contents include early information on the numbers of Jews and Poles killed by the Nazis. Given the poor quality of the paper, it is unlikely there are many copies of this work still around.
