(1903 - 1989) Nazi commissioner of occupied Denmark who adroitly avoided carrying out the Final Solution in that country by prohibiting Nazi troops from breaking into Jewish Homes. Through his efforts less than 500 Danish Jews were deported while 7,000 were able to escape to Sweden. Good content T.L.S. 1p. large 4to., Berlin, July 8, 1936 in German reporting on the arrest of Erich Otto Petrowski for sabotage at an Ironworks. The letter is not fully translated, but it appears as if the individual was spreading unrest in the factory. Chipped at lower margin with minor losses, otherwise very good.
