Vintage 5.25 x 3.5 postcard photo of General Erich Ludendorff, dated on the reverse in an unknown hand March 28, 1925, and signed on the reverse in pencil by several Beer Hall Putsch participants: Adolf Hitler, Ernst Röhm (who co-founded and commanded the SA, and executed by Hitler on ‘The Night of the Long Knives’), Erich Ludendorff (subject of the photo, as well as a World War I hero and von Hindenburg’s chief of staff, Wilhelm Breuckner (SA General and Putsch co-defendant, as well as Hitler’s chief personal adjutant), who adds a swastika after his signature, Hermann Kriebel (commander of the nationalist group supporting Hitler and the military leader of the Putsch. Accompanied by an unsigned 1943 postcard photo showing Hitler’s cell at Landsberg prison. In fine condition; the photograph shows surface impressions from signatures on reverse, and scattered mild silvering and surface marks.
In November 1923, Hitler, as head of the Nazi Party, tried for his first grab at power in an unsuccessful coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He and other party leaders were arrested after trying to take over government control in Munich, Bavaria, and Germany. The men who have signed here were tried for their part in Putsch, with all but Ludendorff being convicted and imprisoned. Hitler was released in late 1924, soon publishing Mein Kampf and, having learned from the failed revolution, declared himself absolute leader of the Nazi Party, centralized its power, and methodically set course for his demonic role in world events. It was in the wake of the prison release and during that fateful rise to power—in March 1925 to be precise—that Hitler and some early supporters attended a veterans gathering where he and his cohorts would have signed this item. A scarce collection of names with significant Third Reich association. RRAuction COA.
