I got this huge document as a part of a trade. According to the source this piece was liberated from the Reich Chancellery by an US officer who spoke 16 languages and was working together with Soviets sorting out documents after the Fall of Berlin.
It has roughly 19.5 by 13.8 inches
It is a blueprint of a dinner that was offered by Hitler to Admiral von Horthy from Hungary as a part of the approximation process between these two nations during the pre-war period.
Almost all TR personalities had seats on this huge table as seen on the map
Please see picture and find a few.
Text bellow I got from Wikipedia and it mentions this same visit that happened on August 1938
Horthy's relationship with Hitler was, by his own account, a tense one – largely due, he said, to his unwillingness to bend his nation's policies to the German dictator's desires. On a state visit by Horthy to Germany in August 1938, Hitler asked Horthy for troops and materiel to participate in Germany's planned invasion of Czechoslovakia. In exchange, Horthy later reported, "He gave me to understand that as a reward we should be allowed to keep the territory we had invaded."Horthy said he declined, insisting to Hitler that Hungary's claims on the disputed lands should be settled by peaceful means.
Three months later, after the Munich Agreement put control of southern Czechoslovakia in Hitler's hands, Hitler allowed Hungary to annex nearly one-third of Slovakia . Horthy enthusiastically rode into the re-acquired territory (which was predominantly populated by Hungarians) at the head of his troops, greeted by emotional ethnic Hungarians: "As I passed along the roads, people embraced one another, fell upon their knees, and wept with joy because liberation had come to them at last, without war, without bloodshed."<sup id="cite_ref-horthy_7-5" class="reference"></sup>But as "peaceful" as this annexation was, and as just as it may have seemed to many Hungarians, it was a dividend of Hitler's brinksmanship and threats of war, in which Hungary was now inextricably complicit.
Hungary was now committed to the Axis agenda: on 24 February 1939, it joined the Anti-Comintern pact, and on 11 April withdrew from the League of Nations. American journalists began to refer to Hungary as "the jackal of Europe."
I would appreciate to hear your thoughts on this document and its fair market value.
I am going to the SOS and I am considering taking it with me.
Thank you
Mario
I also found a Bundesarchiv picture showing a street scene with huge National and Hungarian banners commemorating Horthys visit to the Reich
It was nice to find out that this picture was taken on August 1938
