Recently published by the respected firm McFarland and Co. From the description accompanying the book:

"The USSR is famous as the first totalitarian state to promote chess. Less well known is that Nazi Germany was the second. The Third Reich gave chess a tremendous financial and propaganda boost in hopes of making Germany a dominant chess power. Yet this aspect of the Nazi era has received scant attention in later German literature, and even less in English. This book fills that gap.

Using a multitude of German sources, the author has crafted a narrative showing how the Nazis completely remade German chess into a monolithic structure to showcase the supposed cultural and intellectual superiority of the "master race." Many games by German masters are presented--Bogoljubow, Richter, Samisch, Rellstab, Kieninger, Junge, and more--and by others who came under Nazi rule: Alekhine, Keres, Eliskases, et al. Important political figures are featured: Otto Zander, Erhardt Post, Hans Schemm, Josef Goebbels, and especially Hans Frank. Politics affecting chess are detailed, both external (e.g., the annexations of Austria and Czechoslovakia) and internal (rivalry between the Grossdeutscher Schachbund and Kraft durch Freude), as of course are the effects of the war and persecution of Jews."

Those familiar with grandmaster chess from the 1930's through the early 1950's will be familiar with many of these names from authors such as Andy Soltis whose seminal work on Soviet Chess is also published by McFarland. Hopefully, this book will do for chess in the Third Reich what Soltis did for preserving the history of Soviet chess. 

Hans Frank*, The Butcher of Poland, was a major sponsor and organizer or chess in the Third Reich. (Frank was hung after being found guilty of war crimes at Nuremburg in 1946) Frank's involvement during WWII with players like World Champion Alekhine, Bogoljubow and the Estonian, Paul Keres are generally known. Hopefully, this volume will fill in many gaps with detail to give a more complete picture of the survival machinations of celebrated and lesser chess players caught in the web of Nazi cruelty and destruction.  

I have the book on order and will post a review of it in future here.
