PEARL HARBOR RADAR WARNINGS Lot of three signed photographs of American soldiers associated with the ignored early radar indications of the large numbers of incoming Japanese aircraft en route to Pearl Harbor shortly before their attack on December 7, 1941. Included is JOSEPH L. LOCKARD, a 6 x 4 in. photo showing him at a radio set. Lockard was one of two soldiers manning the brand-new radar station at a hilltop at Opana Point on the northern tip of Oahu. Seeing a massive incoming flight, he called in warnings, finally reaching a lieutenant. The lieutenant told him not to worry, as it was probably a flight of B-17 Flying Fortresses due in that morning from California. WITH: KERMIT A. TYLER (1913-2010), USAF pilot and later brigadier general, S.P. 2.75 x 4.5 in. b/w, a portrait in flight gear.

WITH: RICHARD SCHIMMEL, another Army radar observer who was at the intercept center at Fort Shafter and discovered the warning message balled-up and in the trash, an S.P., 4 x 6 in. b/w, wartime pose.

A superlative Adolf Hitler relic, a fine 25 x 25 in. linen napkin in the 'floral and ribbon' pattern, with a stunning, raised and embroidered national eagle and swastika flanked on either side by Hitler's initials 'A H', the embroidered eagle measuring 1 3/8 x 1 in. overall. The floral and ribbon pattern is discreetly woven into napkin, which in all is a very high-quality piece of table linen, the finest that Hitler used. Very fine condition. This important relic was discovered at Hitler's private office in Munich (the 'Fuhrerbau') by Lt. John L. McConn, Jr. in the spring of 1945. McConn was in command of a detachment of soldiers ordered to occupy and guard the building, and McConn himself slept only a few doors from Hitler's office, where the Munich Pact had been signed seven years earlier. In exploring the building, McConn's men found a trove of Hitler's personal effects in the basement of the building, stored there to prevent damage from the incessant bombing by Allied forces. Among the items uncovered were mother of pearl and gold inlaid presentation lugers, an enormous gold and ruby ring, and most importantly, a huge collection of Hitler's purchased and stolen art intended for display in the never-constructed Fuhrermuseum. As did all soldiers, McConn wanted to return home with souvenirs from his service in Europe, and he found this napkin in the Fuhrerbau where it would have been used by Hitler and only a very small group of his closest advisors and top generals. McConn also mailed home the famous Munich Pact Desk Set - offered by us elsewhere in this sale. Sold with a copy of McConn's May 6, 1945 letter home to his parents, written on Hitler's private stationery found in his office.

21ST INFANTRY REGIMENT OCCUPATION OF JAPAN SIGNED FLAG Rarely seen Japanese flag with patches and signatures of members of the 24th Infantry Division. The 24th Infantry Division was among the first US Army divisions to see combat in World War II and among the last to stop fighting. The division was on Oahu, with its headquarters at Schofield Barracks, when the Japanese launched their attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The division was crucial in the taking of Hollandia, and was part of the Sixth Army's attack on Luzon, suffered heavy casualties at Zig Zag Pass. It later occupied Japan until 1950 and combat service in Korea. The silk or rayon flag measures 27 x 33 in. with two cloth ties at the top and bottom of the hoist. Bold ink text at top reads: 'CAMP WOOD KUMAMOTO, KYUSHU 46 JAPAN 47 24TH DIVISION', and the inscription is flanked by a 24th 'Hawaiian Division' shoulder patch and a theater-made Eighth Army patch of heavy gold bullion embroidered to an octagonal red felt field. At bottom, the flag is further identified: '21st Infantry Regiment Co. I' with the names of the regiment and battalion commanders, along with those of the company commander and two sergeants. This text is flanked by an ink imprint of the regimental D.I. The flag is signed by about 50 members of the company who have added their home addresses as well. There are a few holes in the flag, most caused by ink erosion from the signatures, and what appears to be some old tape or other stains, mainly in the central red 'sun', else very good. The 21st Infantry fought especially hard in the Philippines. It captured the northern coast of Panaon Island and the southern shore of Leyte without meeting resistance, an hour before the main landings farther to the north, and throughout the Luzon campaign.
