There is no known documentation on how the painting was saved or made it to the US but a story suggests that the portrait was liberated by one of the first American soldiers to enter Munich, Germany, in the spring of 1945. The soldier intercepted two Czechoslovakian men running down a street carrying a large object, which turned out to be the painting of Hitler. The painting had remained in a closet for 50 years before being donated to the museum. It was believed that Hitler only sat for one painter, Heinrich Knirr and that Knirr painted 5 portraits of him with 4 being from photographs and one from an actual sitting. This rare piece of history is the only known full size painting of Hitler by Heinrich Knirr and has never been offered to the market before.

WW2 Japanese Good Luck "yosegaki hinomaru" Flag

Lot #227 (Sale Order 68 of 167)

The Good Luck Flag, known as yosegaki hinomaru in the Japanese, was a traditional gift for Japanese servicemen deployed during the military campaigns of the Empire of Japan, though most notably during World War 2. The flag given to a soldier was a national flag signed by friends and family, often with short messages wishing the soldier victory, safety, and good luck. The Japanese call their country's flag hinomaru, which translates literally to "sun's circle", referencing the red circle on a white field. When the hinomaru was signed, the Japanese characters were usually written vertically, and radiated outward from the edge of the red circle. This practice is referenced in the second term, yosegaki, meaning "sideways-writing". The phrase hinomaru-yosegaki can be interpreted as "To write sideways around the red sun", describing the appearance of the signed flag. Normally, some kind of exhortation such as Bu un Chou kyu is written across the top within the white field. Loosely translated into English, Bu un Chou kyu means "May your military fortunes be long lasting." Dark, medium-sized characters may normally be seen that run vertically down the right or left hand margin of the flag. These usually occur in one, two or three columns and are generally the names of the man receiving the flag, and the name of the individual or organization presenting the gift to him. The kanji characters were typically written with a calligraphy brush and ink. While it was normally the custom to sign only around the red center of the flag, some examples may be found with characters written upon the red center as well. For the military man stationed far away from home and loved ones, the hinomaru yosegaki offered communal hopes and prayers to the owner every time the flag was unfolded. It was believed that the flag, with its many signatures and slogans would provide a combined force or power to see its owner through tough times. Furthermore, it reminded him in a material way to do his duty. The performance of that duty meant that the warrior was not expected to return home from battle. Often, the departing serviceman left clipped fingernails and hair behind so that his relatives would have something of him in which to hold a funeral. Great honor was brought upon the family of those whose sons, husbands, brothers, and fathers died in the service of country and Emperor. The belief of self-sacrifice was a central one within Japanese culture and was much exalted during World War 2.
