(1889 - 1945) Fuhrer of Germany and Nazi Party leader, Hitler's bloody rise to power, his military seizure of most of Europe and North Africa and his genocidal racial policies culminated in suicide in his Berlin bunker as Russian troops approached. Excellent S.P., 4 x 5.75 in. b/w, a fine image of Hitler in a suit and displaying his gold party badge, Iron Cross and Wound Badge as he looks up while delivering a speech. He signs at bottom in black ink adding the year '1939'. Some marginal silvered spots do not greatly detract, else fine. SOLD WITH: a letter of provenance from ANNI WINTER, the housekeeper at Hitler's Munich apartment for decades, 1p. oblong 8vo., Munich, Nov. 8, 1967, in German. In part: '...I hereby confirm that the photo postcard with the image of Adolf Hitler was personally signed by him. At Adolf Hitler's request, I always kept approximately 20 postcards personally signed by him on hand, which I could distribute at my own discretion, e.g., for autograph requests...to acquaintances and their friends...'
