SILVER HIMMLER PRESENTATION CUP
Silver presentation cup given by Heinrich Himmler to Werner Grothmann, an SS-Sturmbannführer who would later serve as Himmler's chief adjutant and would be captured by the Allies with Himmler on Mar. 22, 1945. The hand-hammered silver cup measures 4" tall, 3" across at the top, and bears a carefully engraved inscription with Himmler's facsimile signature: "SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Werner Grothmann zum 14.3.1942 H. Himmler Reichsfuhrer-SS". Captured by an American veteran who returned with other SS objects, and purchased from his son by SS honor ring expert Don Boyle. In discussing his capture and Himmler's suicide with historian John Toland, Grothmann labeled Himmler a coward for committing suicide and abandoning his faithful troops.
