Every Man Dies Alone (Alone in Berlin)

The German Aufbau edition of 1947 is the true first; no English translation existed until 2009. Both 2009 English firsts are collected and carry different titles from the same Michael Hofmann translation: Melville House, 'Every Man Dies Alone' (543 pp, afterword by Geoff Wilkes), and Penguin Classics, London, 'Alone in Berlin' (black cloth boards lettered in white to the spine, afterword by Geoff Wilkes plus facsimiles of the Hampel Gestapo file). Precedence between the two is NOT established: Wikipedia states Penguin licensed the book from Melville House, implying the US came first, while trade records date the Penguin UK hardback to early 2009 and Melville House to March 2009. Collect both; do not assert one over the other.
