Good content A.L.S. in German, 2pp. 8vo., Munich, Nov. 2, 1959, a letter to a researcher. In part: '...I have nothing against Fraschka’s book...I welcome your article series about personalities that have shown their braveness in this war. However, I cannot give you any more information about my person than what is already in Mr. Fraschka’s book. I have nothing against you mentioning me...But I’m sure you will understand that I don’t want to boost my own 'heroization', because I just did my duty as a soldier...I do not have any documents or memorabilia, or any orders and such...I have lost my apartment in Berlin including everything in it...I am very sorry that I cannot help you any better even though I am very interested in your work...' Signed in full at the conclusion. Fine. Sold with two photographs.
