BALDUR VON SCHIRACH
(1907 - 1974) Nazi leader of the Hitler Youth and Gauleiter of Vienna, sentenced at Nuremburg to twenty years for war crimes. Scarce, good content T.L.S. "B V S" in pencil on his personal letterhead, 2pp. 4to., Vienna, Mar. 6, 1942, von Schirach's retained copy of a letter to HERMANN GORING concerning wages withheld from actress Ebba Johannsen. Von Schirach advises Johannsen had personally come to see him regarding back-salary owed to her per written orders and that he personally wrote on the letter that she should receive her full salary and be reimbursed for wages withheld. He mentions that he has sent a telegram to Berlin on the matter and assures Göring that he will deal in the same appropriate manner with similar cases concerning the Vienna State Theater. File holes at left, else fine. Goring's involvement is obvious - he and his actress wife Emmy were strong supporters of the stage and screen, and anything negatively affecting those arts would not be tolerated.

Estimate: $300 - 400.
