PRISONER INFORMATION CARDS FROM "CAMP ASHCAN"
Important set of 52 original carbons titled: "Prisoner of War Preliminary Record", each 8" x 8", information forms and fingerprint cards from the infamous Allied prisoner-of-war camp in the Palace Hotel of Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxembourg, code named "Camp Ashcan". Each hard is annotated "CCPWE #32", an abbreviation for the Central Continental Prisoner of War Enclosure #32. Operating from May to August 1945, it served as a processing station and interrogation center for the 86 most prominent surviving Nazi leaders prior to their trial in Nuremberg, including Hermann G?ring and Karl D?nitz. Each card bears the prisoner's name, place of birth, next of kin, date of capture, date of arrival, date of transfer, physical description, distinguishing marks, etc. Among the cards present are those created for HERMANN GORING, WILHELM KEITEL, ALBERT KESSELRING, ALFRED ROSENBERG, FRANZ RITTER VON EPP, ERWIN KRAUS, KARL DONITZ, HERMANN REINECKE, ROBERT LEY, PAUL WEGENER, GEORG LINDEMANN, FRANZ SELDTE, ALFRED JODL, KURT DALUEGE, WALTER BUCH, HANS FRANK, JULIUS STREICHER, JOACHIM VON RIBBENTROP, LEONARDO CONTI, ARTHUR SEYSS-INQUART, KARL BRANDT, WILHELM FRICK, ALBERT SPEER, and other top Nazi administrator, military leaders, aides, etc. Very good. Security was so tight at the camp that even the MPs guarding the perimeter knew not what went on inside; they quipped that getting in required "a pass signed by God, and then somebody has to verify the signature". Conditions in the prison were Spartan. The hotel furniture was replaced by Army cots and collapsible tables. On 10 August 1945, the prisoners were transferred to Nuremberg to stand trial, and the camp was disbanded shortly afterwards. Ex: Charles Hamilton, to our consignor.

15. All autograph material in this sale is guaranteed genuine for the life of the original purchaser (unless otherwise stated or if contrary to other provisions of these terms).

Non-autograph items are guaranteed genuine for a period of twenty-one (21) days of receipt if determined to be not authentic by two independent authenticators acceptable to both parties to the sale.
16. All returned lots must be in the same condition as shipped. All items are in very good condition unless stated otherwise. Items housed in frames have not been examined outside of the frame. Lots which bear defects or damage not visible because of framing will not be subject to return. Auctioneer will not be responsible for shipping costs, after auction appraisal fees, testing or any other post auction costs. Under no circumstances will the auctioneer be responsible for lost profits or other financial damages.
17. Any lot containing 5 or more items is not subject to return for any reason.
18. We do not examine the condition of items contained within frames beyond what is visible within the frame, therefore we are not responsible for any damage or defect not visible to us, including mounting, silking, marginal damage, etc. Bidders are advised that we are not selling frames, and therefore the condition of the frame shall not be considered reason for return. Shipping costs for framed items may vary greatly depending on the size and/or weight of the frame, and at times these charges may be quite substantial. Customers may request us to remove artwork from its frame to reduce shipping charges. We will accommodate customers in that respect for an additional charge of $10.00 per framed item, but such service will be undertaken at our sole discretion. Alexander Historical Auctions will absolutely not be responsible for any damage caused to the VISIBLE area during removal of a frame. We will in no way be responsible for any pre-existing hidden damage or defect, nor will we be responsible for any damage caused by us to any previously hidden portion of the artwork, its mount, or any material matted with the artwork during removal from the frame.
