Ich Kämpfe (English: "I Fight") was a book given by the Nazi Party to each new enrollee in 1943,[1] the year in which the Nazi fortunes began to wane during the Second World War.[2] Nearly all copies of this book were destroyed at the end of the war under the Allied policy of denazification, with the result that originals are very rare.[3]
