ADOLF HITLER - (1889 - 1945) Fuhrer of Germany and Nazi Party leader, Hitler's bloody rise to power, his military seizure of most of Europe and North Africa and his genocidal racial policies culminated in suicide in his Berlin bunker as Russian troops approached. Most unusual partly-printed D.S., 2pp. 4to., Berlin, Oct. 25, 1937, the appointment or promotion of four military attaches to overseas embassies. These include: Col. Heinrich Bruchmann, posted to Sofia, Bulgaria; Col. Iwan von Ilsemann, posted to Bern; Generalleutnant Wolfgang Muff, posted to Vienna; and Gen. Theodor Freiherr von Wrede, posted to Budapest. Boldly signed by Hitler at conclusion, co-signed by WERNER VON FRITSCH (1880-1939), commander in chief of the German Army highly critical of Hitler's intention to go to war. Accused by Himmler and Goering of homosexuality, von Fritsch was acquitted, joined his former artillery regiment in the field, and was killed in action before Warsaw. Fine.
