OLGA TSCHECHOWA
(1897 - 1980) Russian born actress who became a leading actress in the Third Reich. She is also rumored to have been a communist spy in a Russian conspiracy. It is believed she was pressured by Stalin and Beria to flirt with Adolf Hitler in order to gain information so that Hitler could be killed by secret Soviet agents. At one point, a Russian boxer introduced by the actress was about to kill Hitler when called off by Stalin. S.P., 3.5 x 5.5 in. b/w, a chest-up glamour shot on a postcard, signed beneath the image in blue ink. Tiny non-intrusive ink stains on the verso, mentioned only for accuracy. Very fine condition.
