DJ has some wear, tears, and soiling. Jacob Otto Dietrich (31 August 1897-22 November 1952) was a German SS functionary during the Nazi era, who served as the Press Chief of Nazi regime and was a confidant of Adolf Hitler. In 1929 he became a member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) as a Personal Press Referent. Here he was able to introduce Hitler to numerous important officials within different sects of the mining industry to help secure funding for the Nazi Party. On 1 August 1931 he was appointed Press Chief of the NSDAP, and the following year joined the SS. On February 28, 1934, Hitler raised Dietrich to the position of Reich Press Chief of the Nazi party. In November 1937, Dietrich became the Reich Press Chief of the Government. On April 20, 1941 he had risen to the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer. In captivity in Landsberg Prison, Dietrich wrote Hitler (also titled in some editions as The Hitler I Knew. Memoirs of the Third Reich's Press Chief), a book sharply critical of Hitler personally and strongly denouncing the crimes committed in the name of Nazism. The first part of the book contains assessments by Dietrich about his character, his reflections on Hitler as a politician and as a soldier, and his critique of his leadership. The second part (Scenes from Hitler's Life) describes Dietrich's first-hand observations of Hitler's daily activities before and during the war. At his own request, the book was not published until after his death. The book was republished in 2010 by Skyhorse Publishing, with a new introduction by historian Roger Moorhouse, who indicates that "his (Dietrich) insights are sound"
