The postcard is of Ernst Rohm. Head of the SA and killed during the Night of the Long Knives. So...yes. needless to say an "infamous" personality.
Dated May 24th. Just a bit over a month before he was killed (June 30th)
The ink at the top is much darker than the rest of the writing. Possible with fountain pens. But not sure.
I can make out words ("Leader of the NSDAP", etc. ) but not enough to translate. It is however signed by a woman I think ("Frau")
The book IMHO has no connection to the postcard unless they both just happened to be owned by the same person (although having anything with Rohm's image was not a wise thing
. They are 3 years apart and appears to be Christmas related (Kreigsweihnacht.) with a rough dedication for the committement and faithfulness of serving the Fuhrer... Maybe a Christmas gift. I'm not well versed on the inner grouping / working of the NSDAP, but the stamp appears to be from the NSDAP district of Hagenau which is currently part of France. And signed by the district head of the NSDAP and DAF.
As to whether the page inside the book is original I can't tell but it looks good to my uneducated eyes.
Hopefully someone can translate the postcard and the dedication correctly. I'm sure what I said is not perfect.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Hi - thanks for the look and your help! I have tried to decipher the back, but I cannot even make out the letters in the words. Maybe it will remain a mystery.
Thanks for the help though!

This one should be easy for a German speaker to translate

I can make out Geburstag /Birthday too, also she signed 'Frau P.G. (Parteigenossen NSDAP Party member) ...'

I can translate the printed certificate, which translates as: In recognition of the operation/mission for the creative people and your loyalty to the Fuehrer.
German handwriting is something I always struggle with unfortunately
