 POPITZ JOHANNES: (1884-1945) Prussian Finance Minister and a member of the German Resistance against the government of Nazi Germany. In 1943 Popitz conducted secret talks with Heinrich Himmler in order to try and obtain his support for a coup d'etat and subsequent peace deal with the Western powers, however Popitz was being watched by the Gestapo and was arrested on 21st July 1944, just one day after Claus von Stauffenberg's unsuccessful assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler, known as the 20 July plot. Popitz was subsequently sentenced to death and executed. A rare book signed and inscribed, being a hardback edition of Stein: Eine politische Biographie, two volumes, First German Edition published by Unftalt of Stuttgart and Berlin, 1931. The first volume is signed and inscribed by Popitz to the front free endpaper with a lengthy inscription in German to Dr. Landfried, thanking him for his faithful cooperation in the last step of the Prussian financial and administrative history. Signed by Popitz in his capacity as Prussian Finance Minister and dated Berlin, 26th September 1935 in his hand. With a small printed German transcript of the inscription neatly affixed at the base of the front free endpaper. Both volumes also bear the bookplate of history teacher Jurgen Himstedt. Bound in the original publisher's brown and red cloth with gilt stamped titles to the covers. A good and interesting association copy. Some light overall age wear, otherwise about VG   Dr. Friedrich Landfried (1884-1952) German Lawyer & official with the Prussian Finance Ministry.    When Hermann Goring was appointed Reichsstatthalter and Prime Minister of Prussia in 1933 he requested that his villa within the grounds of the Prussian Ministry be redesigned at a projected cost of some 720,000 Reichsmarks. Dr. Landfried refused to sanction the cost, prompting Goring's angry response 'I do not intend to begin my dictatorship by allowing the Ministry of Finance to lay down the law to me!' Of course, Goring got his own way and the new buildings included a roomy lion pit for his pet lion cub.   Gerhard Ritter (1888-1967) German Historian and Author, Professor of History at the University of Freiburg 1925-56. Although Ritter was originally a supporter of the Nazi regime and cooperated on anti-Polish propaganda, he was later to become an adviser to Carl Goerdeler and became involved in the 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Ritter was one of the few conspirators not to be liquidated by the Nazis although he was imprisoned in 1944 for the duration of World War II.  

Lot 275

 HESS RUDOLF: (1894-1987) German Reichsminister and a leading member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP). Deputy Fuhrer to Adolf Hitler 1933-41 before flying solo to Scotland with the intention of negotiating peace with the United Kingdom. Hess was subsequently imprisoned and later convicted of crimes against peace, serving a life sentence until his controversial suicide at Spandau Prison. A rare and interesting book signed, being a hardback edition of The Loneliest Man in the World by Eugene Bird, First Edition published by Martin Secker & Warburg Ltd., London, 1974. Signed ('Rudolf Hess') by Hess in bold blue fountain pen ink to the front free endpaper with a holograph statement, in German, in full, 'This signature does not mean that I identify with the contents of this book, which is unknown to me', and dated Spandau, 13th May 1974 in his hand. Two official circular Allied Prison Spandau stamps (one in purple ink and the other a blind embossed example) appear above the signature. Accompanied by the dust jacket (small tears and very light age wear to the edges). About VG   The present signed book is of particular interest following the recent media reports of DNA tests carried out by Professor Jan Cemper-Kiesslich of the University of Salzburg which have served to prove that it was indeed Rudolf Hess who was imprisoned in Spandau and not a doppelganger.    The longstanding conspiracy theory that Spandau's prisoner was an imposter, a notion subscribed to by America's wartime President Franklin D. Roosevelt amongst others, could have quite easily been dismissed long before now by philographers, graphologists and forensic document examiners with the aid of evidence provided in the present signed book.    Whilst whatever extensive efforts could possibly have been made in regards to the plastic surgery necessary to provide a suitable doppelganger in the 1940s, it would have been impossible for such an imposter to be able to adopt to such a high standard the writing skills to match those of Rudolf Hess himself.    Handwriting is a unique skill to every human and, as the signature and writing in the present book are completely consistent with examples of Hess's writing from before 1941, there could never have been any doubt that Hess was indeed prisoner Spandau #7.
