Description:

ALBERT KESSELRING
A.L.S. on his personal letterhead, 2pp., 8vo, Bad Wiessee Sud, Feb. 21, 1958, in German to a Comrade Buchwald regarding internal matters of the neo-Nazi Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten (Steel Helmet, League of Frontline Soldiers) at Lubeck. In part: "...The honors at Lubeck oppressed me much more than perhaps you might imagine. I increasingly have the impression that Z.F. Tag [?] was not the right man. What I firmly believe is that... he did not have much interest in Lubeck, and that he had an exaggerated respect for you as a Freemason...". Kesselring refers to Buchwald's dissatisfaction with the Stahlhelm's handling of some personnel issues, the Stahlhelm being an organization Kesselring was elected to head while still in prison for war crimes. Kesselring also mentions his health. Moderate middle fold with slight tears at both ends, else fine .
