This chapter examines how John Holroyd-Reece and Erich Kupfer were able to deploy Albatross-Tauchnitz books despite being on opposite sides during World War II. When Britain declared war on Germany, the German Propaganda Ministry declared war on British books. Still, Albatross Press and Bernhard Tauchnitz earned the distinction of offering books that belonged to both sides. From Paris and from Leipzig, Holroyd-Reece and Kupfer sent their titles across Europe in the first few months of the conflict. The two men—each running half an operation—faced off in a bizarre competition to sell their English-language titles to continental readers as war raged on around them. This chapter considers how Albatross and Tauchnitz books were successfully distributed by Holroyd-Reece and Kupfer during the war, rather than being maligned as “enemy books” by one or the other.
