Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), Führer and Reich Chancellor of Nazi Germany, 1933-1945. Fine condition partially printed, partially typed Document Signed, Adolf Hitler, one page, 8¼” x 11¾”, Berchtesgaden [Germany], July 27, 1935.

In German, with translation.

This is a very uncommon, triple-signed document in which Hitler, acting “in the name of the Reich,” appoints Hans Pampe to be a Luftwaffe, or air force, major. It is accompanied by a photograph of Hitler, Göring, and von Blomberg and various papers relating to Pampe’s military service in World War I and thereafter through June 1940.

As Reichsmarschall, Göring was the highest ranking member of the German armed forces in World War II. Von Blomberg was the first general Field Marshal whom Hitler appointed.

This document bears a large blind-embossed Nazi eagle seal. Hitler, Göring, and von Blomberg have all signed with bold fountain pen signatures. The document has a few wrinkles, a small stain and a docket note at the top edge, and typical filing holes, but it is in fine condition overall.

We reject Nazism and all that it represented. We nevertheless offer this document because Nazism, although despised, played a large role in the history of the 20th Century. This piece would be a nice addition to any World War II or German military collection.

The white stripes have greyed and there is discoloration from exhaust, weather, and wind. The ends are frayed and there are some holes, but the flag is in very good condition. According to the family and provenance of this flag, the Flag was flown from a US landing craft on D Day June 6th, 1944.

The flag is dated by the unique military dating on the exterior in black. This one was used in the Navy (noted by U.S.N.). In general, US flags are used until they are worn out. This one is no exception as it shows heavy fraying from the outdoor elements. It measures 43.5″ x 59″.

This flag was obtained many years ago from an American friend, who had this passed down to them, from there Grandfather. The story has been preserved, but unfortunately, any documented provenance has been lost over the years. Understanding that documented provenance helps authenticate the flag, we would not need provenance to validate the flags year. The stamp dating the flag is accurate, 1944. The style of the flag is correct, NAVAL. It is a smaller version of a flag, dictating that it would have been flown on a smaller ship. In review, a similar D-Day flag, the way the flag is tattered is identical, as is the size, grommets, and stamping.
