FRIEDRICH FROMM
(1888 - 1945) German Commander in Chief of the Replacement Army (Ersatzheer). Though he was aware that some of his subordinates - most notably, Claus von Stauffenberg, his Chief of Staff - were planning an assassination attempt, he remained quiet. When the assassination attempt failed, Fromm reacted by ordering the execution of those conspirators he knew. Subsequently, however, his own lack of action and alleged failure to report the plot led to his own arrest, conviction and sentencing to death. War-date partly-printed D.S., 1p. sm. folio, Berchtesgaden, Mar. 12, 1941, the appointment of Dr. Erich Hanke to a senior government position. Fine.

Estimate: $300 - 400.
