Thereafter, Brückner joined the Heer (army), becoming an Oberst (colonel) by war's end. He died in August 1954 in Herbsdorf, Upper Bavaria. The full identity of Josef Mayerhofer Jun., of Landshut, Bavaria, is unknown, but it seems unlikely that there was any connection to Josef Mayerhofer (1887-1937), Hitler's foster father following the death of his father Alois, nor Josef's son of the same name, who would have still been a boy living in his family home in 1926. Clearly, the Josef Mayerhofer here knew Brückner well and paid him to get the book autographed by Hitler, but whether Brückner kept the 10 Marks paid, gave it to the NSDAP, or shared it with Hitler is a matter of speculation.
