Description:

(1884 - 1976) German General Admiral and head of the Marinewaffenhauptamt ('Naval Weapons Head Department') during World War II. A.L.S. on his personal postwar letterhead, 2pp. 4to., Berlin, April 2, 1963, reading in part: '...the description of your rare collection is interesting, my hobbies are in a different area! I searched in my closets for some items - documents, newspapers about special events - which may be of interest for your collection. Unfortunately I can't send you a picture of me in uniform, because they are designated for my grandchildren. I enclose a group photo which will fit into your collection, it shows Grand Admiral Raeder at a visit at an industrial plant in 1938...Unfortunately I can't fulfill your wish to sell you any important pieces. Medals that were awarded to me are not for sale...Please accept the small contributions to your collection as a gift...' Witzell signs in full at the conclusion, adding rank. Light mailing folds, else fine.
