Collectible Spoons of the 3rd Reich is a detailed, heavily illustrated reference book containing relevant historical exposition on many of the personal, organizational and commemorative spoons of the 3rd Reich period from 1933 to 1945. These spoons, unlike most other collectibles from this period, were actually owned and used daily by the people and organizations of those times. The book includes many spoon types, for example: Hitler’s personal silverware, Red Cross, SS, the U-47 etc. With over 200 photos / graphics and over 19,000 words of text, the book extensively explores the relevant historical highlights which in turn illuminate this unique period in history as reflected by the spoons. These spoons are history that you can hold in your hand and were once in the hands of the German history makers of the 3rd Reich era. As the years pass, the 3rd Reich era will move from the monster of history to just plain history as did the Napoleonic era and like Napoleon collectibles, there is increasing interest in acquiring 3rd Reich collectibles, although understandably relatively modest in our lifetime. Thus, this book should be of interest to the collector and educational for the casual reader of history.

I selected this book because it was in the news as being among the finalists for the Oddest Book Title of the Year award, held annually in Britain (a different title won first prize), otherwise it would have escaped my notice.
As someone with an interest in the obscure, I found the book interesting because of the many photos and background history of the pieces under discussion. The author does not claim to be an expert, but rather a collector; some of the pieces are in his collection and as to their authenticity he solicits opinions that readers may wish to offer. About a third of the book is devoted to pieces owned by the leaders, and the rest of the book discusses items used in the various military and other organizations. Many of the items display the Art Deco/Machine Age style of the period.
A good resource for post-1922 Austrian/German Silverware Hallmarks of the time, all of which are illustrated nicely.
