Life Magazine; the one Everyone is Looking for, September 1939 (Item GOR 9-5; NSD 14-20) |
|||||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is the very elusive September 139 issue of Life, the one with Benito Mussolini in the cover. But that’s not all. This is the issue that chronicles Hermann Göring’s story. It’s the one with the great full-color picture on a full page of Göring at Carinhalle. The article is rather unbiased to a degree, believe it or not? Anyway, many collectors have written to us over the years asking if we could locate this issue. So here it is and you need to grab it before it disappears.

Book Ein Volk in Waffen, by the Famed Sven Hedin (Item GOR 9-6; PERS 4-1) |
|||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This book, which is a concise history of the German nation at war, is from the personal library that Hermann Göring maintained at the Obersalzberg above Bertesgaden. This book with several others was obtained at a Frankfurt, Germany book fair. It bears Göring’s personal ex libris card that is seen inside the front pages. The bookplate shows the triumphant knight St. George slaying the dragon. In the upper-right corner is the Göring family’s crest; the armored arm holding the ring. About the equestrian figure are the words that appear in clouds: Ehre=”Honor,” Freiheit=”Freedom,” Wahrheit=”Truth,” Brot=”Bread.” Then it says “Aus der Bücherei HERMANN GÖRING.” (“From the book collection of Herman Göring.”) The book has 534 pages of text and pictures of Germany at war, 1914-1915. It was published in the second year of the terrible fratricidal war in Leipzig and dedicated to Dem Deutschen Heer, (The German Army). Sven Hedin, the author, was a famed Swedish explorer, geographer, and geopolitician with many amazing discoveries involved with Pamir, the Taklimakan Desert, the ancient Silk Road, and the Himalayas. He was a 100 percent Germanophile since his days of study in Berlin. He was a strong advocate of an alliance of Sweden and Germany in the First World War and this book was written to promote this concept and desire. Hedin always thought that Soviet Russia posed a great threat to the west and this is part of the reason he supported Germany in both wars. Hedin received support from the German airline Lufthansa in his central Asian mapping expeditions and his book Germany and World Peace was funded by the German government. Hedin fully supported Hitler and the NSDAP. He met Hermann Göring during several missions to Germany and was often a guest at Carinhalle. He was an avid supporter of Hitler and in 1945, when interrogated, he would not deny his support of or denigrate the Führer or the NSDAP agenda. He was not of course the only prominent figure who supported Germany. The Nobel Prize writer Knut Hamsun was arrested several times after the war and put before a real Star Chamber court for his opinions. Sven Hedin died on November 26, 1952. He was the greatest of the great explorers and writers. It is only natural that Hermann Göring would have this pro-German literary treasure on his shelf. The book is in fine condition except for a map in the rear that is loose. The book measures 6 1/2 x 9 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches.

Butter Knife and Dinner Fork from Special NS Railroad Dining Car (Item GOR 9-7; GEN 12-11; AH 21-17) |
||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is really a beautiful group of two railroad (Deutsches Reichsbahn) pieces of flatware. The veteran these came from said he personally looted them from the private dining car of Hermann Göring. The German National Rail System had a complete train called the Führerzug. That was the Führer Adolf Hitler’s personal train—Göring had two cars that were personally his. Instead of Hitler’s personalized formal-pattern flatware or Göring’s familiar armored arm with ring flatware the railcars for these two famous personalities had the national eagle and swastika with “DR” flanking it. This was used by both the Führer and Göring and their entourage and guests. So these two items could have been from time to time used by the Führer or the Reichsmarschal; however, the vet says that they were removed from Göring’s car. It’s not clear if they were removed from Göring’s cars or from one of Göring’s personal trains (Sonderzug). He had two of these personal trains; one was named “Der Robinson.” These pieces are considered much more rare than the formal or informal Göring or Hitler pieces that are more often seen. The fork is 8 1/4 inches long and is marked on the back with the crown, half moon, the eagle, and the ‘800’ for silver content. The butter knife measures 8 1/4 inches long also and is marked in the same way. Both pieces also are numbered ‘244’ (set placement codes for what service they are included in.) The eagle, swastika, and ‘DR’ appear at the end of each grip (raised). They are in immaculate condition.
