OTTO ERNST REMER
(1912 - 1997) Nazi major who helped Hitler retain control of Germany in the crucial hours following the failed assassination attempt of July 20, 1944. Remer, in charge of a battalion stationed in Berlin, initially followed a general's order to seal off the major government ministries. Goebbels put Remer on the phone with Hitler, who promoted him on the spot to colonel and ordered him to crush the rebellion. Remer was instrumental in the arrest of the conspirators, including Claus von Stauffenberg S.P. 4" x 5 3/4" b/w, a three-quarter length view in uniform signed in the white bottom margin post-war.
