Nazi Buildings in Munich  

Background: Hitler prided himself on his buildings, the “word in stone.” Munich was the headquarters of the party, and received a major share of his architectural interest. Hitler clearly saw buildings as propaganda. They were designed to impress. These photos come from a book published by the Nazi Party’s publishing firm. The book often was given as a gift by Franz X. Schwarz, the party’s treasurer.
