JULIUS STREICHER IS GIVEN HONORARY CITIZENSHIP
Impressive hand-painted and signed D.S., 2pp. large 4to., Lauf an der Pegnitz, Germany, July, 1933, a document signed by the burgermeister conferring upon Streicher honorary citizenship in the town, just east of Nuremberg: "recognition of his services...as the tireless fighter in the freedom movement in Franconia...". The town's wax seal is affixed at bottom. Mounted between the covers of a brown leather folder with gilt trim,. the front cover bearing a hand-painted depiction of the town's crest. Very good. While Hitler was of course born in Austria and received many dozens of such honorary citizenships, Streicher was born in Bavaria and was generally not highly honored outside Franconia where he served as Gauleiter.
