HEINRICH HIMMLER: (1900 - 1945) Hitler's Chief of the Gestapo placed in charge of security and responsible for the construction and operation of extermination camps. He chose suicide rather than face a hangman's noose at Nuremburg. Excellent S.P. "H. Himmler", 6 1/2" x 5" b/w, showing Nazi leaders at the opening of the Great German Art Exhibition at the new Haus der Deutsches Kunst in Munich, 1938. Shown, left to right, are: Himmler, Goebbels, Franz Halder, Dino Alfieri (Italian Minister of Culture), Arthur Axmann (Hitler Youth Leader), Dr. Gerdy Troost (wife of the dead architect), Gauleiter Bernard Rust (Reich Culture Minister), Hitler and Adolf Wagner (Gauleiter of Munich). The exhibition was opened in order to provide the public with examples of "good" Aryan-related art, versus the "decadent" art which proliferated prior to Hitler's assumption of power. Two letters lightly feathered, overall very good. $800-1,200
