All items were acquired at the event by U.S. Army court reporter Corporal Mack Rankin. A unique historical grouping.
Condition: All items are very good, showing age discoloration.
Notes: General Tomoyuki Yamashita, was perhaps the most brutal and sadistic figure in the Imperial Japanese Army. Known as the "Tiger of Malaya", he was thought largely responsible for the rape of the Chinese city Nanking and was arraigned after the war by a U.S. Military Commission led by Major General Russel B. Reynolds. He was charged with 66 different war crimes. Almost every charge included either the wholesale torture and execution of American military prisoners-of-war, the rape and murder of Philippine women and young girls or other crimes against humanity. The list of specific details of the charges are chilling to read, especailly noting that in many instances the crimes were committed by him personally. From 29 October to 7 December 1945, an American military tribunal tried General Yamashita for war crimes relating to the Manila Massacre and sentenced him to death. The legitimacy of the hasty trial was questioned by many at the time, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Murphy. On 23 February 1946, at Los Ba?os Prison Camp, 30 miles south of Manila, Tomoyuki Yamashita was hanged. After climbing the steps leading to the gallows, he was asked if he had a final statement. To this Yamashita replied through a translator: ? As I said in the Manila Supreme Court that I have done with my all capacity, so I don't ashame in front of the Gods for what I have done whe

Hindenburg enjoyed a long if undistinguished career in the Prussian army, eventually retiring in 1911. He was recalled at the outbreak of the First World War, and first came to national attention as the victor at Tannenberg in 1914. Germany's supreme commander from 1917, he rose in the German public's esteem until he came to eclipse the Kaiser himself. Hindenburg in 1919, but returned to public life one more time in 1925 to be elected as the second President of Weimar Germany. Though 84 years old and in poor health, Hindenburg was obliged to run for re-election in 1932 as the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler, which he did in a runoff. In his second term as President, he did what he could to oppose the Nazi Party's rise to power, but was eventually obliged to appoint Hitler as Chancellor in January 1933. In March he signed the Enabling Act of 1933 which gave special powers to Hitler's government. Hindenburg died the next year, after which Hitler declared the office of President vacant and made himself the "Fhrer", or the combination of the president and chancellor.

Notes: Alfred Josef Ferdinand Baumg?rtler was born in 1890 in Wrzburg, Germany, He was educated at Cadet School in Munich, from which he graduated in 1910.

On April 7, 1945 he married his former secretary and mistress Luise Katharina von Benda, a close friend of his first wife. At the end of World War II in Europe he signed the instruments of unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945 in Reims. Jodl surrendered to American General "Bedel" Smith while Eisenhower waited outside the room. Only after signing the surrender documents was Jodl allowed to see Eisenhower. Jodl was subsequently arrested and charged with war crimes. Frau Luise Jodl managed to attach herself to her husband's defence team and worked for his acquital. Jodl pleaded 'not guilty' "before God, before history and my people". He was found guilty on four charges and hanged. Jodl's verdict was controversial in U.S. military circles and in February 28, 1953, a West German court in Munich posthumously acquitted him of all charges. Jodl's last words were reportedly "My greetings to you, my Germany." This painting is attributed to his wife who died in the 1970s. She was relatively well known as an artist in post-war Germany.

Condition: Excellent. Document with original ring binder perforations.
Notes: Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel [15 November 1891?14 October 1944] was perhaps the most famous German field marshal of World War II. He was the commander of the Deutsches Afrika Korps and became known by the nickname "The Desert Fox" for the skillful tactical military campaigns he waged on behalf of the German Army in North Africa. He was later in command of the German forces opposing the Allied cross-channel invasion at Normandy. He is thought by many to have been the most skilled field commander of desert warfare in World War II though he was often criticized for out running his own supply lines. Kesselring considered Rommel to be a great general leading fast-moving troops at the corps level of command, but felt that he was too moody and changeable for high levels of command. For Kesselring, Rommel's nervous breakdown and hospitalization for depression at the end of the African Campaign only confirmed this. Rommel's military successes earned the respect not only of his troops and Adolf Hitler, but also that of Allied troops in the North African Campaign. An enduring legacy of Rommel's character is that he is also considered to be a chivalrous and humane military officer in contra

This unit was to be made up of Nordic volunteers mixed with ethnic German Waffen-SS veterans. In January 1941 the division was reformed around three motorised infantry regiments: Germania, formed mostly from ethnic Germans; Westland, consisting mainly of Dutch and Flemish volunteers; and Nordland, comprised mostly of Danes, Swedes and Norwegians. Command of the newly formed division was given to SS-Brigadefhrer Felix Steiner, the former commander of the Verfgungstruppe Deutschland Regiment.

Condition: Excellent.
Notes: In January 1936, the SS Porzellan Manufaktur Allach was created in Munich under the control of SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler. High-ranking artists were locked into contract. The program of the factory included over 240 porcelain and ceramic models. Due to a rapid expansion of the enterprise, the factory was not able to meet production, so in October 1937 a part of production was shifted to the SS-operated Dachau concentration camp. Originally the Allach factory manufactured only art ceramics, plates, jugs and vases, but in the war years they also produced simple utensils like ointment containers and cafeteria table-ware. Special occasion gift items for SS supporters were also made and given away at dinner parties and other events. Starting from 1941 German civilians and about 50 prisoners of the Dachau concentration camp were employed with production of art and porcelain. Dachau remained the main location for fine porcelain manufacture even after the original factory in Allach was modernized and reopened. The factory in Allach was instead retrofitted for the production of ceramic products such as household pottery. The fall of the Third Reich brought an end to the Allach concern. The Allach factories were shut down in 1945 and never reopened. SS Allach items are very scarce, especially the polychromed figural examples.

Notes: SS-Gruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, next to Himmler was perhaps the most feared of the Nazi henchmen. In charge of the SS security police, he wielded power ruthlessly and was considered the heir apparent to Hitler. He died when members of the Czech underground succeeded in a well-planned assassination attempt in Prague. Heydrich died a painful death from blood poison, the results of a Mills hand grenade thrown into his limousine. The assassins were soon betrayed by a member of their network, tracked down and trapped in a church basement where they were eventually killed or committed suicide. This major blow to the Nazi hierarchy brought the wrath of Hitler and many innocent Czechs were executed in revenge for this blow against the Nazi leadership.

Bradford attesting to the authenticity of Heydrich's signature.
Condition: Excellent.
Notes: Nicknamed the "Blonde Beast" and the "Hangman of Prague", Heydrich exhibited the cold-blooded instincts necessary for anyone divested with the power to rid the Third Reich of enemies, real or perceived. Chosen by Himmler as his right-hand man, he rapidly proved his abilities as a leader and eventually replaced Himmler in Hitler's eyes as the real power of the SS. Suspected by his enemies of being part Jewish, his insecurities in this issue caused him to quickly suppress any attempts to blackmail him and curb his power in the Nazi hierarchy. Shrewd and calculating, he once planted false documents implicating the Russian senior high command as Nazi spies, knowing they would be discovered by Russian double agents. This action led Stalin to eliminate his most talented generals including Tukachevsky, perhaps the most capable of all the Russian military minds. This one act crippled the Soviet army and contributed to early Nazi success on the Eastern front. Heydrich was finally assassinated in 1942 by Czech agents in a well planned operation. In revenge, Hitler had the SS literally obliterate the village of Lidice, including all men, women and children.

Notes: This well executed wooden statue was presented to Adolf Hitler by the "young maidens of Salzburg". Well known as musical center of Bavaria, Salzburg produced many talented personalities, including groups of young ladies who were often invited to sing for the Fuhrer at his mountain retreat. It was probably on one of these visits that he was presented this commemorative statue. While the exact personage of the statue remains unknown, it was probably a likeness of a renowned music professor from Salzburg. The figurine was captured from Hitler's residence by U.S. Third Infantry Division officer Lt. William W. Dazey, a combat engineer and one of the first individuals on the premises. Included with the statue are xerox wartime photos of Dazey in uniform and a notarized historical personal account of his wartime experiences leading up to his entering the Berghof and the capture of this item. His skillful writing and attention to detail makes for excellent reading and provides a context that enhances the history and collectability of the statue.
Provenance: 2nd Lt. William W. Dazey, 3rd Inf. Div., 10th Combat Engineers, 1944-1946
