[HITLER ADOLF]: (1889-1945) Fuhrer of the Third Reich 1934-45. A very unusual and interesting T.L.S., by Commandant A.M. Schaller, one page, oblong 4to, Berlin, 4th November 1945, on a sheet of Hitler's printed stationery, featuring his name ''Adolf Hitler'' and address ('Berlin W 8, Kanzlei Des Fuhrers der NSDAP') printed in black at the head. Schaller, with the recent fall of the Nazi Reich, sends this letter to his uncle with first-hand information from Berlin, and states in part `I thought that it would please you to receive a letter written on the paper of the guy we are trying to sort out his succession; it is a hard work, and even more because not all Allies are cooperating in the same good will.´, further saying `The city spectacle, with three quarters of it demolished, is an image which I never get tired watching; we wonder where do these people spend the nights, because there are full districts where no house is habitable, only the façades remain. The smells are difficult to stand, because there are still a large number of bodies under the ruins…´ and before concluding saying `Food supplies are sufficient, the American Red Cross canteens permit that the military Allies enjoy sumptuous afternoon tea with doughnuts and coffee with milk when food supply is short..´ Folded. Very small overall minor age wear and creasing. VG
