PAULA HITLER
(1896 - 1960) Younger sister of Adolf Hitler, his only sibling to survive into adulthood. She never joined the Nazi Party and largely remained on the sidelines, though after the war she accepted the charity of ex-SS officers and survivors of Hitler's inner circle. Scarce T.L.S. 'Paula Hitler-Wolf' (the 'Wolf" added during her brother's rise to power to help her avoid publicity), 1p. 4to. on airmail onionskin, Berchtesgaden, July 6, 1953 in German to Russell F. Anderson who was negotiating with her to write her memoir. In part: '...With this letter, the last five pages [of the memoir] are sent to you at the same time and I kindly ask you to include the instructions for the remaining fee in your letter. It was not always easy...for me to find inner calm to write about a subject which deals with my own family and has little enjoyment to describe...' Small tear at top margin, some wrinkles at bottom, else very good.
