HANS-ERICH VOSS - (1897 - 1969) German Vice Admiral and one of the final occupants of the Fuhrerbunker during the battle of Berlin in 1945, among the last people to see both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels before their suicides. A.L.S. 'Hans Voss' on tri-fold prisoner of war stationary, 1p. 12.75 x 6 in. (open), Island Farm Prison Camp, Bridgend, South Wales, Dec. 19, 1947, thanking a Red Cross representative during his final year as an Allied prisoner-of-war. In part: '...the year 1948 comes closer...and therefore the last Christmas and New Year in prison camp...you as an outstanding personality and representative of your I.K.R.K. have done so much good for us...the hours of discussion with you were like mountain springs of relaxation and hope for a better future...merry Christmas and a happy successful New Year...' Fine.
