Bradshaw has a folder of Hitler watercolour reproductions, and asks their worth,
Hitler’s water colour paintings
MY father spent 34 years as an Army officer, retiring as a full colonel in 1972. He served in WWII, Korea, and Viet
Nam. He was in the Class of 1944 at Texas A & M when the
Army called the Corp of Cadets to serve in Europe.
A set of prints of Hitler watercolors was given to my father by Baldur Von Schirach‘s wife when he was an army officer stationed in Germany during the occupation.
He mailed them to my mother from Kachel, Germany on Sept.
30, 1945. My father’s letter is handwritten and asks her to keep the prints in “safe keeping”. The story goes that
Hitler gave several of his aides the same set of prints.
The prints are in a folder that has Adolf Hitler
printed across the top and the word Aquarelle in the center. The cover has a wood grain look. Inside the folder, folded inside a protecting piece of paper is a typed letter along with the prints.
The letter is in German and translates giving praises to
Hitler and ends by saying Hitler is the “first leader and the first artist of our Reich”. The letter is dated
Christmas 1937. My father has possession of this set of prints. It is in perfect condition.
I am wanting to find out it’s worth due to the fact that my father will soon die and it’s worth, not only monetary, is important to his life. If you cannot give me any information on this piece of history, please forward this e-mail to someone who can help me.
