ADOLF HITLER: (1889 - 1945) Fuhrer of Germany and Nazi Party leader, Hitler's bloody rise to power, his military seizure of most of Europe and North Africa and his genocidal racial policies culminated in suicide in his Berlin bunker as Russian troops approached. An outstanding, exceedingly rare photo signed by Hitler while in captivity at Landberg Prison. The photo, 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" b/w portrays Hitler from mid-chest, up, a Nazi Party pin affixed to his lapel, with the future dictator bearing a rather arrogant expression. Across his suit he has signed in full: "Adolf Hitler", adding in German: "'High treason trial' Munich (War School) March 1924". Fine condition. In the "Beer Hall Putsch" of November, 1923, Hitler attempted to seize power in Bavaria by capturing its capital, Munich, and set out from there to Berlin. The putsch failed, Hitler was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison. He obtained a pardon in December 1924 after serving only nine months. However, these were pivotal times for Hitler, as while in prison he wrote his manifesto "Mein Kampf". $4,000-6,000
