Hello folks. I've had this for a few years now...not quite sure what to do with it at this point, but it's an interesting bit of early NSDAP ephemera to say the least. It's a letter from the Munich Reichs Chancellory on Briennerstrasse, dated January 18th, 1933 (a few full weeks before Hitler became "Fuehrer" of all of Germany). It's a typewritten document from the desk of Albert Bormann (brother of Martin and chief of staff at the Munich Kanzlei), to the "German / Nordic Richard Wagner Society for Germanic Art and Culture in Berlin". The letter reads as follows:
"I confirm with best thanks, the receipt of your correspondence to Herr Hitler from the 12th of this month with which you simultaneously sent the Richard Wagner Anniversary Edition of the Song of the Nibelungen. Herr Hitler will thank you personally, however as he will still be traveling for some time, I ask for your patience. With German greetings! (signed). A. Bormann. I've not really found much precedent w/ other Albert Bormann autographs on early NSDAP ephemera such as this, so I'm hoping others might have some input. It came to me via an estate seller along w/ a Luftwaffe M40 helmet, and a few R.A.D items which I long ago parted ways with. Below are a few pix. Someone mistakenly wrote "Martin Bormann" at the bottom left (thankfully in PENCIL) which I've just left alone but can easily be erased. Thanks.
