In an attempt to erase Röhm from German history, most items belonging to him were destroyed resulting in extreme rarity of such surviving pieces.Ernst Julius Günther Röhm (28 November 1887 - 1 July 1934) was a German military officer and a leading member of the Nazi Party. A close friend and early ally of Adolf Hitler, Röhm was the co-founder and leader of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing, which played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power. He served as Chief of the SA from 1931 until his murder in 1934 during the Night of the Long Knives.USA lot - more info hereCondition: I -
