vente des dernieres archives du Fuhrerbunker
These documents were taken in November 1945 by a senior French official posted in Berlin: Captain Michel Leroy. He had managed to enter the bunker by a still open entrance along with his superior, Commander Rose. After a long visit of the corridors and offices by torchlight both men salvaged documents to keep as souvenirs. Little did they know that they were in the office of Martin Bormann and that the documents were evidence of a part of history. They shared their spoils into two equal parts. Commander Rose?s share was sold several years ago and is now in Paris in one of the most prestigious private collections in the world. In 2019 the family of Captain Leroy entrusted the sale of these archives to Xavier Aiolfi. The current owner therefore has acquired them directly from the family of Captain Leroy.The archives that we are releasing today were the subject of a documentary in 2019 entitled ?Führerbunker, the Final Archives? and the publication of a book ?The Final Archives of the Bunker? by Paul Villatoux and Xavier Aiolfi by Memorabilia publications which has been translated into three languages. All the documents including the most insignificant were set on fire, proof of the importance that the last occupants of the bunker gave to their destruction, numerous documents are blackened or damaged by fire.We invite you on a fantastic and terrifying journey through time. These archives take us by the hand, by the senses and the heart and mind. The archives from the ruins of Berlin have kept the battle scars within their very texture for almost eighty years, from the burn marks to the smell of damp that still remains.Rarely have documents embodied a period of history and overwhelmed all our senses.They come from hell and bear witness to hell!
