Hi all,
May i introduce one of my favourite award documents in my collection, it was awarded to District Court Judge Edmund Van Hout upon his retirement on the 13th August 1942, Edmund appears to have worked at the Fuhrer Headquarters which is interesting in itself. Sadly i cannot find any further information on Edmund but this may change by posting his name here.
Besides the subject of this award document the most interesting thing is the hand signed name in ink of Dr Roland Freisler. I believe him to be one of the most odious men of the Reich and was involved in some of the most horrific yet interesting events of those years from his entry into the party, the White Rose Show Trials, the Wannsee Conference, the Peoples Court, the 20th July Plot trials to name but a few.
I believe this document to be a rare piece indeed and it seems his signature doesnt come up for sale that much. I look forward to your comments and interest, im not worried with questions of authenticity just interest in the subject.
Regards, D.
