The SS Totenkopf Ring : An Illustrated History from Munich to Nuremburg Hardback
by Craig Gottlieb
Hardback
Description
Using modern tools not available to previous authors on this subject, Craig Gottlieb paints a comprehensive picture of the Totenkopf Ring and the man who was behind it – Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler.
Gottlieb draws on a body of over 200 examples to document currently believed notions about the ring.
He offers never before seen photos and documents, and even develops many new well-reasoned theories about the Totenkopf (Death Head) ring.
The book also covers the pre-history of the Totenkopf ring, placing its appearance onto the “SS Scene” in historical context.
Also covered are design background, construction techniques, and an in-depth analysis of the physical characteristics of rings.
Gottlieb also includes sections on award documents and frames, ring shipping boxes, and provides many never-before-seen photographs of rings in wear.
Finally, he brings rings to life with an extensive “personality profile” chapter in which he illustrates several famous rings.
