                Günther Rall

                Al original orders of Günther Rall were taken away directly at the moment he was a POW. He even wrote it in his memories and told me and a ver y bug group personally in Helsinki firing the presentation of his book "Mein Flugbuch" at Helsinki's airport years ago. Jani Tiannen, a well reputed seller of Finnland, was also there and put him a direct questions in this sense. If yours, he hoy a duplicate after the war and I doubt it due to his comments about his wartime experience. He recovered his map many years after the war and sold it quickly.

                        Hello Sepp

                        Sorry But the Hilss' Preliminary Document is seemingly a fake.
                        Would need to see the signature to confirm.
                        Anyway, the rubber stamp is not good and the gothics printed letters seem also weird (too bold).

                          Definitely a fake!
