(1893 - 1946) German politician who began his career as an ace in World War I, rose to become Hitler's right-hand man and head of the Luftwaffe, finally captured and committed suicide on the eve of his execution. Rare, fine content A.D.S. "Goering", 1p. oblong 8vo., [n.p., likely Berlin, n.d., ca. September, 1935] to Adolf Hitler, the text of a telegram. In full:"Fuhrer and Reichs Chancellor Talks with [Hjalmar] Schacht succesful Stop All necessary currency for Danzig including the school approved Stop Finance Minister has also approved all payments for Danzig with the Reich Stop Case Danzig closed as desired Goering". The verso of this message bears an A.L.S. of HANS H. LAMMERS (1879 - 1962) Minister and Chief of the Reich Chancellory, dated Sep. 1, 1935, addressed to Werner von Blomberg ("Reichskriegsminister"). The text, difficult to decipher, mentions the Luftwaffe and makes a request. The text has an "X" throught it. Clearly, Goering simply grabbed Lammers' letter and used the verso to use for his message to Hitler. Two file holes, else very good. An interesting behind-the-scenes view of Germany's involvement in Danzig's financial affairs. The economic policy of Danzig's Nazi-led government led to a devaluation of more than 40% of the city's currency in 1935 and Poland was infuriated when the value of the Gulden was reduced to match that of the Polish zloty.
