Third Reich Documents | The Doyle Collection
Of archive interest
A single-owner, Third Reich document collection with an emphasis on desirable signatures and historically-important content...sold for the first time in thirty years.'
A collection of Third Reich documents recently sold by us for the first time in thirty years. The single-owner document collection, consisted of
NSDAP 'policy letters,' to SS documents extending birthday-greetings, newsstand posters, and associated ephemera from the Third Reich era: many documents benefit from rare signatures and historically-important content; all are unique. The sale of these documents represented the best of its type nationally - and possibly internationally, for over thirty years, and created an opportunity for organisations and private individuals to buy Third Reich documents from a single-owner collection, which were of historical importance.
Highlights from The Third Reich Document Collection Part I included letters from Mercedes to Rudolf Hess, (1936); the Mercedes-Hess letters detailing the purchase of a new limousine for Adolf Hitler. An NSDAP document addressing the terms for wearing uniform insignia; the NSDAP document signed by Reichsleiter Ley (1935). The Nuremburg War Crimes Trial is represented by a group of Third Reich documents which are both rich in content, and signed by Generaloberst Jodl (1946). More publicly, a Rohm Putsch newsstand poster captures the order-of-the-day with its period graphics and Sensational Twist headline (1934).
