These German cigarette books were collected by the German public before World War Two and in the early days of the war. Each album was illustrated with photographs collected by the owner from cigarette packs and then pasted into the album. This particular two album set is titled “Olympia 1936” with a gold embossed bell with eagle and Olympic rings. These books are in large format, measuring approx. 12 inches high (30.48cm) by 9 ½ (24.13cm) inches wide. These books do not have the original dust cover. The blue cloth hardcover on both books is in very good condition. Volume 1 contains 127 pages and shows approx. 175 pasted in photographs, some in color. Most of the photos are in place, though some are loose, and there are a few missing.  There is also a color section of flags from all the countries participating. Of particular interest are some photos of Hitler and famous skater Sonja Henie. The back of the album has a Quadra-fold full color map of the Olympic venue. The map measures approx. 33 inches (83.82cm) x 12 inches (30.48cm). Volume 2 runs 165 pages and contains approx. 200 pasted in photos, several of which show Jesse Owens. There are three of these photos missing, but the remainders are more securely pasted in place. This is an impressive set that covers both summer and winter events.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68312437326130,"sku":"BK-21k","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/9332\/files\/WW2_German_Book_Olympia_1936_4224.jpg?v=1793997420","url":"https:\/\/www.therupturedduck.com\/products\/german-1936-berlin-olympics-cigarette-books-two-volume-set-3","provider":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
