HITLER, ADOLF
<b>213. ADOLF HITLER</b> (1889 - 1945) Fuhrer of Germany and Nazi Party leader, Hitler's bloody rise to power, his military seizure of most of Europe and North Africa and his genocidal racial policies culminated in suicide in his Berlin bunker as Russian troops approached. Fine content D.S. 1p. 4to., [n.p.], June 12,1931, in German. In this early document, Hitler, "<i>in the tradition of the SS</i>", bestows an honor upon two of SS units, one from Munich, the second from Bavaria, designating them "<i>Sturm Casella</i>" and "<i>Sturm Faust</i>" respectively. Boldly signed in pencil, also initialed "<i>R</i>" by his chief of staff, <b>ERNST ROHM</b> (1887 - 1934), Nazi Brownshirt who organized, trained and headed the SA, a friend of Hitler who was at his side in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, later set-up and executed by Hitler following their disagreement on the use of the 2 million-strong SA. Margins chipped with no loss of text, 1" spot clear of signature, overall quite good. A rare association! <b>$1,500-2,000</b>
