Adolf Hitler Signed Photo with Photo at Berghof
A unique set of an Adolf Hitler signed photo along with a private photo of Hitler and a young girl moments after he signed it for her.

The first is a portrait shot of Adolf Hitler with his signature in ink, dimensions: 10.5 x 14.7 cm.
The second is the moment after signing this photo and prior to handing it to the young daughter of one of the Housekeepers who worked in Berghof.

Notice how Hitler is holding the photo, gripping it on the sides waiting for the ink to dry.
(The signed photo was purchased directly from the family of the young girl and housekeeper and after some convincing, they finally agreed to sell the photo showing Hitler signing the postcard for the young girl. They initially wanted to keep this photograph. We are still waiting for this private photo to arrive but it will be included with the signed postcard).

In the years 1936/1945 the house and at the same time the official residence of Adolf Hitler in colloquial language called "the Mountain", located on the Obersalzberg slope in the Salzburg Alps near Berchtesgaden in Germany.
Alongside the FHQ Wolfsschanze, this was the place where Hitler spent the most time during WWII - 387 days in total, even though Berghof was never considered headquarters.

Hitler is immortalized here in civilian clothes, surrounded by members of the Algemeine-SS, which proves his initial stay in Berghof.
Both photos come from the over 90-year-old woman in the photo, who is still alive.
A unique set.
