HAHN OTTO: (1879-1968) German Chemist, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, 1944. Hahn is considered the father of nuclear chemistry. A lengthy A.L.S., Otto, six pages, 8vo, n.p., 1st January 1918, to 'Mein Liebling' (his wife, Edith Junghans), in German. Hahn writes an informative social letter to his wife following Christmas and New Year's Eve and states, in part, 'Unlike last year, I did not write two letters to you yesterday. But at least we were able to talk briefly. Actually, I was about to give up, because I had tried to ring Julius' apartment twice before, but nobody picked up…..I would have loved to talk with you a little longer, but we were playing Skat in the next room, and that is important. Also, the colonel wanted to talk to you and wish you a Happy New Year, but you were already gone again and Julius was on the line…..Our celebration last night was very cozy. I had a crazy amount of work during the day…..So we had the usual meal last night, nothing fancy, with the exception of a kind of chocolate dessert with real whipped cream (we do have a cow in the stable!). For drinks with dinner and after, we had planned for the three of us (colonel, medical director, and myself) two bottles of burgundy mixed with one bottle of champagne. There was supposed to follow a punch at midnight……But we never got around to the punch because we prolonged our “Turks Blood” so that in the end, between 8pm and 3am we had consumed 3 bottles of champagne, 2 bottles of burgundy, ½ bottle of red wine, totalling about 2 bottles of alcohol each. Quite a lot, but spread over seven hours, it was tolerable. At the same time, with only short interruptions around midnight, we played wonderful Skat…..At 12, we lit the tree and interrupted the Skat…..I did not give away the rest of my cookies; I still had 1 box of berry cookies which we had after midnight…..I (and others) also enjoy the English mustard which arrived yesterday. O for it!......Judging from your mother's letters, they don't appear to be starving in Plotnick, notwithstanding the milk soup every night. Even the hunt dinner seems to be well put together…..These days, I haven't had much time for my own reading. I am still reading about the very exciting theatre director, even though I find many characters in it very idealised. Do you recall that I wrote a card to Bergrat Knochenbauer…..I had had goose at his place exactly one year ago, and in my note I asked him about his son who was on the front. Today, by way of an answer, I got an obituary. His son, 21, died of his injuries…..Isn't that sad? Yesterday…..I sent you 100 marks. That includes your gift from Santa. Also, do not forget to buy yourself, not from this money, the taffeta before it gets more expensive……' VG Otto Hahn married Edith Junghans (1887-1968), a student at the Royal School of Art in Berlin, on 22nd March 1913. In 1914, at the beginning of World War I, Hahn was recalled to the army in a Landwehr regiment and the following year was transferred to Berlin as a human Guinea-pig testing poisonous gases and gas masks. Hahn was also sent on frequent missions to the front to find suitable locations for gas attacks and, at the end of the war, was involved in a secret mission to test a pot that heated and released a cloud of arsenicals.

It is our wish to be burnt immediately on the spot where I have carried out the greatest part of my daily work in the course of a twelve years' service to my people'. The original document was signed by Hitler at the conclusion and witnessed by Joseph Goebbels, Martin Bormann and Nicholaus von Below. The souvenir copy signed to the final page in blue ink by Junge, 'Typed by Traudl Junge, Hitler's Secretary'. EX
MUSSOLINI BENITO: (1883-1945) Italian Fascist Dictator of World War II. T.L.S., Mussolini, two pages, small folio, Rome, 23rd May 1925, to the President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister), President of the Supreme Defence Commission. on the printed stationery of the Minister of the Navy, in Italian. Mussolini’s letter is written in regard to the ‘Assignment of a Navy Corps of Engineers senior officer to the Joint Supreme Defence Commission on the basis of art.4 of the Presidential Decree 21st June 1923’ and states, in part, ‘The Office of the General Staff of the Royal Navy since May 1924 raised the very important question concerning requirements that merchant ships should meet to be inscribed in the State auxiliary fleet from the point of view of the buoyancy safety, armament, provisions for airplanes etc. in order to let the Merchant Navy to take part in resistance and national defence in the event of a war. The question later developed by the Supreme Defence Commission and conveyed for the necessary technical opinions to the Committee for ship projects has recently…..given rise to a settlement scheme that should now further be developed. Your Excellency with a letter from March this year stressed on the necessity to properly provide these important studies “for the reconstitution of the auxiliary fleet which the Supreme Defence Commission intends to gradually implement in order to assure to the Country maritime communications and supplies in case of conflict”. I would therefore judge necessary and urgent that a Navy Corps of Engineers senior officer, to be appointed for this task, which I would indicate in the Navy Corps Engineers Colonel Pugliese Umberto, particularly competent in the matter. This Superior Officer should be assigned to the Joint Supreme Defence Commission…..and…..during the period of preparation of studies, this Superior Officer would depend on the Office of the General Staff of the Royal Navy for the necessary connections with this Supreme Defence Commission and with the other institutions interested in carrying out the same studies’. With an official red ink stamp and several annotations to the head of the first page. A letter of good content in which Mussolini looks to strengthen the Italian Navy ahead of a potential war. A few extremely small tears and light age wear to the edges, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG The present letter is a curious example of Italian bureaucracy as Mussolini was in fact writing to himself – the Italian Dictator was serving as both Minister of the Navy (January 1933 – July 1943) and President of the Council of Ministers (October 1922 – July 1943) at the time.
