Definitely on the creepy/ghoulish side, this book is a travel guide to those parts of Poland not directly annexed into Germany proper - or "Greater Germany". The edition was published at the invitation (read "command") of the Nazi Governor-General, Hans Frank. There are 3 editions of this book existing from 1943; one edition is undated. They are differentiated by the maps included.
Excellent for its time but France has changed a little over the last century.
One of our daughters lived in London as an au pair for the three children of a French couple. While there, she traveled with the family for a month, visiting with their relatives. This book was a nice way to keep in touch with her travels there.
