Bernd Rosemeyer & Elli Beinhorn

[Ernst-H]

I got this grouping of newspaperclippings about two famous people of the era:

Bernd Rosemeyer: racing driver for the Auto Union
Elli Beinhorn: famous female pilot

the grouping consists of about 10 A3 sized sheets full of newspaper clippings and pictures and numerous loose clippings.
Clippings are dated from 1936 onwards as far as I can find.
Some one or two clippings tell of their life after the war.

Must have been collected by a big fan of the two back then.

anyone got any idea about value?

thanks

Looks to be part of someones scrapbook and would daresay that this grouping is not worth all that much since the photos were cut out of magazines or newspapers of that era.

thanks bill for the reply. I agree it must be somebodies personal scrapbook

I've got no money in this grouping at all so that is no problem.
It still is a nice large grouping of articles and photographs about these two people which is very hard to collect nowadays if one would only search for intact magazines.

If anybody is interested they can contact me

Sadly there won't be anything about Rosemeyer post-war. He died in a record attempt in 1938.

Right, Rosemeyer was killed in an Auto-Union streamliner whilst contesting the flying kilometer on the Frankfurt autobahn. Beinhorn died just a few months ago at very advanced age. They were considered the "it" couple of the Third Reich.
