My father was a US Army soldier, assigned to the Nuremberg Prison as a Prison Officer and he was in charge of Hess, Speer, Paul Schmidt, Von Schirach, etc.
Speer was fond of Dad and did an architectural drawing of what he thought a nice house in Texas should be and signed it, giving it to Dad. Schmidt typed a document (I believe 17 pages) and signed it. It was about a trip he took with Hitler to an important meeting.
Dad had signatures of several of the prisoners, including Speer, VonSchirach, and several others.
He had a key to the prison.
He also had a letter, addressed to my Mom by Speer in the late 70's, after she had written him about his book, Inside the Third Reich.
Dad passed a couple of years ago. He asked my sister and I to sell these items and we've put if off for sentimental reasons, but are ready to sell now. Anyone know where to begin?
Thanks
