This White Tunic Of Martin Bormann's Was Retrieved From The Basement Of The Berghof By Warrant Officer Robert G. Eiland, 3rd Infantry Division, U. S. Army. It Was One Of Two He Brought Back As Souvenirs From His Tour Thru Africa, Sicily, Italy Southern France And Germany. The Tunics Were Likely Looted From Bormann's Summer House By Soldiers Who Then Abandoned Them In Order To Carry Out A H Silver And Other Goodies Found In Hitler's Summer Residence

To Answer The Questions So Far:
The Gold Party Badge Is Genuine But Not Bormann's
Yes, It Is One Of The Two Bill Had. All Three White Tunics Are In Jeff Clark's Book.
The Size Is For A Broad, Stocky Man And Would Confirm The Body Shape One Would Assume For Bormann
The Warrant Officer Who Brought This Back Wrote A Book Based On His Diaries For His Families. Bill And I Both Have A Copy. In It, He Describes Finding The Tunics, Which He Thought Were Hitler's. They Were Originally Offered To The Smithsonian, Who Declined Any Interest.

Originally posted by Schmusi View PostWow, yet another treasure I was wondering Bob whether you had anything in your collection from any of the HJ big names: von Schirach, RĂ¼diger, Axmann, Lauterbacher?
NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS EVER COME MY WAY. I DID OWN A PULLOVER H J BROWNSHIRT THAT WAS THE TYPE WORN UNDER THE TUNIC. IT WAS VON SCHIRACH'S IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. I GOT IT ALONG WITH A FEW GORING ITEMS FROM ONE OF THE TWO GERMAN SPEAKING ARMY SARGEANTS WHO STRIPPED ALL OF THE INSIGNIA FROM THE UNIFORMS OF THE TOP NAZI OFFICIALS. IT WAS NOTHING SPECIAL AND I SOLD IT MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS STILL SERIOUSLY COLLECTING JAPANESE SWORDS.
