This is a historical German cigarette card album (Sammelalbum) titled Kampf um’s Dritte Reich: Historische Bilderfolge (The Struggle for the Third Reich: Historical Image Sequence), published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld.

The interior contains printed German text in Fraktur script and numerous tipped-in color photographic cards documenting events of the National Socialist movement between 1924 and 1933. Notable content includes a full-page black-and-white frontispiece portrait of Adolf Hitler captioned Der Fuhrer, as well as images of the 1926 Weimar Party Day, Horst Wessel, and political rallies leading up to the appointment of the Chancellor on January 30, 1933.
