    The late, great Herbert Doering once told me that, whilst he caught site of Doering looking at his top boots, Hitler proclaimed, Doering, dont think I always wear the same boots every day...no, I have five pairs made, all identical to each other. Like the ancient Egyptian Kings, who wore golden masks. I must always maintain complete continuity for my people.

    I am certain therefore, that his decorations were duplicated.

      We know that Hitler had many Gold Party badges but my guess is that he only had one Blood Order due to the fact that he only wore it once a year.

        how many EKs Hitler owned I am not sure but it would be interesting to know

        i would have thought he would have kept and worn the original ek1 that he was awarded out of pride and also in memory of his time in the trenches but it seems he had multiple copies.

        cheers

        His awarded EK1 was mounted in a special frame and donated to Austria after the Anschluss. After the war it was taken to the US where it resided some time with the vet who took it back.

        This EK1 is still framed and resides in a private collection, together with other interesting Hitler artifacts such as one of his visors, a golden party badge and lot's of other things.

            Humbarto,

            Will you please elaborate further on your below statement and is the statement corroborated by any period documentation?

            "Hitler was awarded during Third Reich with the Gau Essen commemorative badge ( special class in gold )
            in 1935 were awarded Hitler, Goring, Dr. Ley and in 1939 Gauleiter Heinrich Unger"
            ( only 4 awarded) 'Humbarto Corado'

            Thank you and best regards,

            John
