ADOLF HITLER
(1889 - 1945) Fuhrer of Germany and Nazi Party leader, Hitler's bloody rise to power, his military seizure of most of Europe and North Africa and his genocidal racial policies culminated in suicide in his Berlin bunker as Russian troops approached. Excessively rare A.L.S. on his gold-embossed 7 1/2" x 4 3/4" correspondence card, Munich, Jan. 8, 1938, in German. In full: "Warmest regards for a speedy recovery! Dearest regards, Yrs, Adolf Hitler". Very light soiling, else near fine. A month later Hitler would promote himself to Supreme Commander of Germany's Armed Forces and take total control of the country's foreign policy. Hitler's handwritten letters are legendary rarities, and only a tiny handful have come to market in the past twenty years!
