HITLER ANGELA: (1883-1949) Austro-Hungarian elder half-sister of Adolf Hitler and the mother of Geli Raubal. The Fuhrer was extremely close to his half-niece, to the point of a possible sexual relationship with her, and was devastated when Raubal committed suicide in controversial circumstances at the age of 23 in Hitler's Munich apartment. An extremely rare vintage signed 4.5 x 3 photograph by Angela Hitler, the image depicting her seated on the end of the front row of an audience alongside a gentleman, most likely Johannes Pant, and with a number of rows of other ladies and genleman behind them. Signed ('Geli') in dark fountain pen ink to the verso and with an additional holograph sentiment in German, in full, 'In memory of your stay in Dresden', and dated 16th December 1939 in her hand. Some light overall age wear and dust staining and a few minor creases and two small tears to the edges, not affecting the signature, G Johannes Pant had been a priest at the Vienna Men's Hostel where Adolf Hitler lived in 1909 and it is alleged that Pant arranged for the cover up at the funeral and burial of Geli Raubal in Vienna on 24th September 1931 less than a week after her suicide. The event at which Angela Hitler is seen at in the present image is unknown, although presuming that it was taken on the 16th December 1939, a Saturday close to Christmas, and given the formal evening attire of the subjects, it may have been a festive concert. The date, 16th December 1939, is however of significance in relation to one of the other most important women in Hitler's life aside from his half-sister and her daughter. In his book Hitler's Girls: Doves Amongst Eagles (2017) the author Tim Heath states that Eva Braun, the future wife of the Fuhrer, became 'the most envied woman in the Third Reich' when she moved into the Reich Chancellery with Hitler on 16th September 1939. Angela Hitler, employed by her half-brother as a housekeeper, strongly disapproved of his relationship with Eva Braun and eventually left Berchtesgaden as a result and moved to Dresden.
HAMMITZSCH MARTIN: (1878-1945) German Architect, the second husband of Adolf Hitler's half-sister, Angela Hitler, from 1936-45. Hammitzsch committed suicide shortly after Germany's defeat in World War II. An extremely rare D.S., Dr. Ing. Hammitzsch, being his official Government Pass, Dresden, 7th September 1943. The partially printed folding 12mo document is completed in typescript, numbered 179, was issued by the Reich Governor of Saxony for the Federal State Government and states that police officers are requested to allow the holder, an employee of the Federal State Government, to 'pass through any barrier unhindered for purposes of official business, and if necessary, to grant him protection and assistance'. The pass features an original passport size photograph of Hammlitzsch in a head and shoulders pose, beneath which appears his bold ink signature. With various official circular stamps featuring the Nazi eagle and swastika and also countersigned by an official for the Reich Governor of Saxony. Some extremely light, very minor age wear, VG Hammlitzsch had been dismissed from the Wehrmacht in 1943, with the rank of Colonel. At the time he would have been issued with the present document he was employed as the leader of the Department of Technology in the Federal State Government of Saxony.

A pair of late-19th century Dresden-style two-handled porcelain chocolate cups on conforming quatrefoil-shaped stands; each piece gilded and hand-decorated in enamels with scenes of figures in 18th century dress within country surroundings, each piece with painted AR blue mark to underside (2) CONDITION REPORT: The saucers are in good general overall condition with no major problems, hairlines, chips or restoration noted. The gilding and painting within the reserves appears to be generally in very good order for age with only minor gilt rubbing upon close inspection in some small spaces. The pair of two handled cups also appears to be in generally very good overall condition with no chips, cracks, hairlines or restoration noted. Both items in very good condition for age.
A pair of late-19th century Dresden-style porcelain bottle vases; each hand-decorated in typical style with lovers in 18th century dress within country surroundings and floral sprays against gilding dividing the decorative reserves, blue painted AR mark to underside, 23cm high CONDITION REPORT: The gilding is starting to rub around the lip of the rim. There are scratches to some of the gilding on the large vignettes. The enamel decoration of figures within countryside surroundings looks fairly good although there is an area of degrading to the lower left hand side. The vase looks in good order generally with no overall problems, no chips, cracks, hairlines or restoration noted. The companion vase is similarly so with gild rubbing around the top of the vas. Vertical gilt rubbing is prevalent to one of the reserves with the floral spray. Otherwise the vase appear to be in good overall original condition with no damage noted.
A late-19th century Dresden-style porcelain two-handled pot pourri; oval section and raised on four gilded scrolling cabriole legs terminating in concave plinth base, the main body decorated in enamels with figures in countryside surroundings in typical style, blue painted mark to underside, 16cm high CONDITION REPORT: The gilding has rubbed on the oval pierced cover around the edges and on the finial. The overall cover appears to be in good order with no chips, breaks, cracks or restoration noted. One of the handles on the main body has been broken off and re-affixed. The rest of the piece appears to be in fairly good condition apart from the handle. The gilding is fairly bright as is the enamel decoration of floral sprays and figures within country surroundings. No other damage or restoration noted.
A Dresden porcelain figural centrepiece; two-handled boat-shaped reticulated bowl above a flower encrusted support and two young figures, the girl standing playing a lute; printed marks to underside, 37cm high CONDITION REPORT: As you would expect some of the extremities (i.e., flower head edges) have chips and have been damaged. The overall appearance of the centre piece is quite dirty but it appears to be in reasonable condition and order with no cracks, chips, hairlines or restoration noted. As previously noted some of the extremities show small signs of chipping etc. The main “tree” support appears to be in good order and the figures themselves look reasonable with all of the fingers appearing to be present and intact. The gilded 'C' scroll “feet” all appear good although turning the item over the affixing iron nut where the base meets the tall support has gone quite rusty to the underside. Overall the centre piece looks to be in generally good decorative order.
