St Mary's Books presents this 1960 first edition of "Broken Swastika: The Defeat of the Luftwaffe" by Werner Baumbach. Housed in its original bright pink dustjacket featuring a graphite illustration of a broken swastika, this hardback book is bound in black cloth with gold gilt lettering to the spine. Inside, one finds 224 pages of text supplemented by contemporary black and white photographs. Within the pages of this book, based on official Luftwaffe files, the reader finds the story of the German Air Force from its re-birth after the Treaty of Versailles to its destruction in World War II. From the perspective of Bomber Commander Werner Baumbach, the reader is given an insight into the Nazi hierarchy - of Hitler's mistakes, Gorings fall from grace, and woman pilot Hanna Reitsch. This copy, and its original dustjacket, are in very good condition, with few notable blemishes or imperfections it appears virtually unread. "Broken Swastika" is looking for a new home and would make for the perfect gift for any aviation enthusiast.
