ADOLPH HITLER, Signed Military Document

Outstanding 49 Page Adolph Hitler-Signed Military Document

ADOLPH HITLER.
Military Document Signed, "Adolph Hitler" as Fuehrer, February 15, 1943, Fuehrer's Headquarters, 11.75" x 8.25", Choice near Mint condition. A huge, 49-page document recording the changes in rank of hundreds of officers in the German military. Hitler signs on the final page to the right of the typical, large, embossed seal displaying the German Eagle holding a swastika within a wreath. The document is in near perfect condition and is one of the most extensive and outstanding Hitler pieces we've ever seen or handled. By 1943, Hitler's campaign against the Russians was beginning to crumble and he was furious at his military's inability to capture the Russian capital. The Germans suffered huge losses in the Russian campaign and this document was either an attempt to fill holes in his military or to replace those officers Hitler felt were incompetent. In either case, this is an extremely important item that is sure to excite the advanced collector of German/Nazi memorabilia.
