Description:

DR. ERNST-ROBERT GRAWITZ
(1899 - 1945) A Reichsphysician SS and Police, Grawitz advised Heinrich Himmler, commander of the Schutzstaffel (SS), on the use of gas chambers. He carried out brutal medical experiments on Nazi concentration camp prisoners. Due to his own SS rank, Grawitz was administratively responsible for all medical experiments conducted. Grawitz was also a physician in the Fuhrerbunker. As high-level ranking Nazis fled Berlin, Grawitz committed suicide by detonating two grenades at the dinner table, thus obliterating himself and his family. His signature as Reichsphysician in red indelible pencil, cut from the conclusion of a document voicing his agreement to a war-date proposal which presumably crossed his desk. Signed beneath a red ink stamp, reading 'I agree!' in German and bearing his title 'Reichsarzt-SS und Polizei', dated May 27, 1943. Small section of his signature clipped out at bottom, else fine. Loosely pasted to a 160gm 8.5 x 11 in. card bearing his printed portrait.
