WWII Nazi Eva Braun Hitler Lipstick Case
Eva Braun Lipstick. Eva Braun was the lover of Adolf Hitler and eventually became his wife the day before their suicide. Braun had known Hitler since 1929 and came to be lovers in 1931. Though Hitler wanted to maintain the image that he was single and solely dedicated to his work, he made many accommodations for Braun and spent many nights with her alone, either in his vacation home Berghof near Berchtesgaden or in his apartment in Munich and Berlin. She would marry Hitler on April 29, 1945 before committing suicide together with him the next day. One of the accommodations made for Braun was custom silverware, tableware, and other items. The lipstick was found by a member of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division in the Obersalzburg area after the war ended. This lipstick has the EB monogram etched on the side underneath the flip up mirror. The outside has an ornate decorative pattern and there is a red colored stone riser. The lipstick has seen use with the exterior having a slightly worn finish. The mirror is dirty and has not been cleaned in many years. Included is a certificate of authenticity and this appears in the book "Treasure Trove, The Looting of the Third Reich". Excellent condition. See lots 194-206 for more of Eva Braun's items. From the Michael Clifton collection.
