OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL ADOLF HITLER Hand Signed AUTOGRAPH With Historic SS Archive Certified

OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL ADOLF HITLER Hand Signed AUTOGRAPH With Historic SS Archive Certified. A singular and historically explosive personal scrapbook compiled by Betty Zaske, wife of SS-Hauptsturmführer Ernst Zaske, which provides a continuous and deeply revealing narrative from the zenith of the Third Reich through the immediate post-war imprisonment of its most devoted followers. This artifact’s importance transcends typical memorabilia, offering an unfiltered view into the world of the Nazi elite, both in power and in defeat. The collection’s unparalleled value is cemented by a remarkable and extensive collection of original, handmade artwork, correspondence, and defiant, unrepentant political statements sent by Ernst Zaske and his SS “comrades” from the Allied internment camps at Dachau and Moosburg between 1946 and 1948. This is a cohesive archive documenting the public ideology and private reality of a family at the absolute center of the Nazi regime and the persistence of that ideology after its total collapse. Extraordinary Provenance: From Himmler’s Staff to Hitler’s Retreat. The scrapbook originates from the very heart of the SS power structure. Betty Zaske’s husband, SS-Hauptsturmführer Ernst Zaske, was an Alter Kämpfer (“Old Fighter”) with the low SS number 1338 and a recipient of the NSDAP Golden Party Badge. He served on the Persönlicher Stab Reichsführer-SS-Heinrich Himmler’s personal staff-the administrative and ideological core of the entire SS empire. The family’s elite status is confirmed by mementos from Obersalzberg in 1934 and a 1935 invitation from Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess to the topping-out ceremony for his home in Garlaching. The invitation bears Hess’s name inscribed in ink in the upper corner, possibly by the scrapbook’s compiler to note its origin. Highlights of the Collection: An Authentic, Live-Signed Postcard of Adolf Hitler: The album’s centerpiece is a commercially produced postcard of the era, featuring a portrait of Adolf Hitler by the artist Otto von Kursell, a prominent Nazi party member and director at the Berlin University of the Arts. The postcard bears a strong, clear, and verified live ink signature of Adolf Hitler along its right edge. Unprecedented Post-War Internment Camp Archive (1946-1948): The scrapbook contains a stunning collection of handmade items sent from Allied internment camps, documenting the imprisonment of Ernst Zaske and his fellow SS officers. This section includes: Artwork from Dachau and Moosburg: A series of beautifully hand-painted and calligraphed cards sent by Ernst Zaske to his wife, including a New Year’s card for 1948, a birthday card from Moosburg (Jan. 1947), and a remarkable Easter card dated “DACHAU 1948”. The artwork is both poignant and defiant, featuring symbolic imagery such as roses growing on barbed wire and a bell hanging from a barbed-wire fence over a depiction of the Moosburg camp. An Unrepentant Nazi Manifesto: Tipped into the album is a handwritten note from Zaske’s imprisoned “comrades.” It is a stunningly defiant statement of unrepentant Nazism, declaring: “und trotzdem muß u. wird Wahrheit Wahrheit bleiben. Wir waren keine Verbrecher – Adolf Hitler wollte für sein Volk nur das beste…” (“…and nevertheless, truth must and will remain truth. We were not criminals – Adolf Hitler only wanted the best for his people…”). This is a raw, unfiltered articulation of the steadfast Nazi worldview held by these men even after the full revelation of the regime’s atrocities. SS Comradeship in Defeat: The manifesto is accompanied by a tribute page signed by several fellow prisoners, including Paul Wirth and Dr. Adolf Schwander. They address the tribute to Zaske as their “Ehrengruppenführer” (“Honorary Group Leader”) of “Group 4,” proving that the SS command structure and sense of camaraderie persisted within the internment camps and that Zaske held a position of leadership and respect among his peers. The Post-War Network (1949): The narrative of the unrepentant Nazi network is powerfully concluded with a handwritten entry from Gertrud Scholz-Klink, the former Reichsfrauenführerin (Reich Women’s Leader). Dated Tübingen, March 1949, after her own trial and conviction, this entry provides undeniable proof of a clandestine social network of high-level Nazis operating within postwar Germany. A Curated Ideological World: The pre-1945 portion of the album is a masterclass in Nazi cultural curation.
