Published in the series Teubners Neusptachliche Lekture fur sechsstufige lehranstalten und die mittelklassen von vollanstalten [Teubner's New Language reading for six-level teaching institutions and the middle classes of full institutions], this little volume was directed at teaching English to German schoolchildren. This was during Hitler's rise to power, with the release of his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) in 1925. Through the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Nazis gathered enough electoral support to become the largest political party in the Reichstag, and Hitler's blend of political acuity, deceptiveness, and cunning converted the party's non-majority but plurality status into effective governing power in the ailing Weimar Republic of 1933, when he was elected Chancellor.
