Deutsche Heldensagen by Gustav Schalk, undated, published by Verlag Neufeld & Henius, Berlin, there is ink-written owner: Willy Rose, April 1933.  I remember the version on my father's bookshelf from the earliest days, it was much nicer, had a blood red cover with a black figure of a knight and by a different publisher, better quality, and dated 1897, by Weidenfeld & Co., Berlin, if I remember rightly. It also had more colour plates, but the text is unaltered. To the Nibelungen illustration is a later colour plate from a newspaper article, identical to the one in my father's book. This illustration depicts Hagen von Tronje sinking the Gold hoard of the Nibelungen in the depths of the Rhine.
German and Nordic mythology mixed with historical events from earliest times to the middle ages, full of war and intrigue, Courage, noble loyalty and betrayal. I was always fascinated by this book.

Cover versions of the edition I remember.

Der Deutsche a periodical published in 1919, regarding resentiments about the lost war, and the betrayal behind it.
One of the first books in my father's bibliothek, which, I believe, he purchased in Dublin in the late 1920s. Poor condition, the quality of WW1 and postwar paper was very poor, and many publications of this period have simply disappeared. The author was Gregor Huch, worth further research. There is a note to the back, that the publication was to be temporarily ceased due to the rising costs of publication.  Selbstverlag "Der Deutsche", Berlin NW23

1797 - 1897

Dem erhabenen Begründer des neuen Deutschen Reiches
- Festschrift der Stadt Berlin zum 22. März 1897
by Carl Gerstenberg

For the hundredth birthday of the founder of the new German Empire
Festival Script of 22. March 1897 - Kaiser Wilhelm I.

This book was given to me from the library of the oldest German Church in the UK, which was founded at the beginning of the reign of George I. of Great Britain and Hannover. The book was presented to me by Pastor Dietrich Altmann, a native of Berlin around 1974. He didn't want so many old books in the collection. One book which however will remain, is the bible signed and presented by Kaiser Wilhelm II. to the church during one of his visits to London.

Beneath the church is a vault dating from the early 18th Century and is filled with coffins dating from the beginning till the very last burial from around 1820, mostly in poor condition and disintegrating, the vault is very dry, which has preserved its contents to a reasonable degree. Also worth mentioning, is that some of the traditional church silver was stolen during the 70s, and this led to the church being closed during day hours.
The church is in London Aldgate and although closed, remains under conservation and is freqently used for special occasions by the German community in London. There are more German churches in London and throughout the UK. The Geman Seamens Home near Aldgate also cooperated closely with this church, and was reopened after the war by Diakon Wolfgang W.

Gerd Bottger’s  book is great, it has many, many great pictures, some in colour (my copy doesn’t have the dust jacket), another good book I picked up at the same time was ‘Der Kriegsmarine in der Aktion, Danemark - Norwegian’ - no pictures, just a few sketches, published in 1940.
