RUDOLF HESS

Description

(1894 - 1987) Nazi German Deputy Fuehrer and second in command after Goering, Hess was one of Hitler's closest confidantes and friends. In an unauthorized peace mission, Hess flew a German fighter to England and surrendered, purportedly attempting to ally Germany with Great Britain against Russia. His mission, of course, failed and Hess was imprisoned at Spandau where he was found hanged in 1987. Fine content and association war-date T.L.S. on his official NSDAP letterhead, 1p. 4to., Berlin, Apr. 18, 1940 to Minister of Propaganda JOSEPH GOEBBELS. In part: '...The Fuhrer has awarded you the Service Award of the NSDAP. I send it to you enclosed with the thanks of the Fuhrer for your faithful work...' File holes at left, slightly scorched at top, else near fine.
