HITLER ADOLF: (1889-1945) Fuhrer of the Third Reich 1933-45. An historically important Autograph Manuscript, unsigned, two pages, 4to, n.p. (Munich?) n.d. (February 1925), in German. The holograph notes were prepared by Hitler in advance of a speech (the first following his release from prison) he delivered in Munich's Burgerbraukeller on 27th February 1925. In the upper left corner Hitler has penned the year 1918 followed by the questions 'What had happened?' and 'Just what went wrong', continuing with a diagram separating the political parties 'on the Left "Proletariat"….Marxism….finished for good due to criminality' and 'on the Right "Bourgeoisie"……bourgeois parties….broke down due to cowardice' and also including the 'Volunteer Corps - Nationalist Organisations, Citizens Defending Themselves', the manuscript continuing with other relevant points he intended to deliver within the speech, 'Stick to the facts. Parties reject violence (cowardly). Associations are non-political (stupid. They keep pulling their chestnuts out of the fire). During all this the nation is destroyed, plundered domestically and internationally. Could anything still help? Founding of the NSDAP [National Socialist German Workers' Party, more commonly known as the Nazi Party] Goal. Programme', and to the second page Hitler writes further notes, 'Development. 1919-20-21-22-23. 8th November Result: Inflation. 1924 Parliament. Struggle within the movement. Did anyone care about us? No. My release. December 1924, February 27th 1925. Buttmann. The division is impending. I and Held. I and Rohm. I and Ludendorff. Lies. The old movement……The movement? In a different Germany. Here.' Autograph material of Adolf Hitler is extremely rare in any form, and the present notes are of particular significance in Hitler's rise to power, this particular speech representing a landmark moment in the re-establishing of the Nazi Party and Hitler cementing his position as 'der Fuhrer'. A couple of extremely minor, very small holes at the intersection of a couple of folds, VG'If anyone comes and tries to make conditions to me then I say to him: friend, wait and see what conditions I have to make to you. I am not wooing the masses. After a year you shall judge, my party comrades; if I have not acted correctly, then I shall place my office in your hands again. But until that moment this is the rule: I lead the movement alone, and no one shall set me conditions so long as I personally bear the responsibility. And I once more bear entire responsibility for everything that happens in the movement' (extract from Adolf Hitler's two-hour speech delivered at the Burgerbraukeller, Munich, 27th February 1925)Hitler joined the tiny German workers party in 1919, He quickly became its leader. On 9 November 1923, at the height of the great German inflation (on 20 November, one U.S. dollar was equal to four trillion German marks), Hitler risked a coup. He led his followers through the streets of Munich to the Feldherrnhalle, a war memorial, where waiting police opened fire. Sixteen of Hitler's followers were killed; Hitler himself was arrested, and after a trial that he turned into a political platform, he was sentenced to four years in prison. The party was banned, and its remnants degenerated into squabbling factions. Hitler stood outside the fray, using his time in prison to write Mein Kampf. He was released in December 1924 after serving only nine months of his term, and set about rebuilding the party. The authorities lifted the ban on the Nazi Party on 16 February 1925. Hitler now arranged one of his rhetorical masterpieces: a mass meeting on 27 February to re-establish the party. He chose the same beer hall from which he had launched his abortive revolution fifteen months earlier. Three thousand people packed the hall, and several thousand more were turned away. He entered to the passionate applause of the audience, and gave [a] two hour speech….Its first three-quarters offered nothing that most in the audience had not already heard, and would hear again in Hitler's future speeches. He reviewed Germany's history, claiming that past conservative parties had no contact with the masses, and that leftist parties pretended to address the problems faced by ordinary Germans, but actually served the interests of the Jews who controlled them. He also outlined his views on propaganda. In the last quarter of the speech, he moved to re-establish his control of the party. He claimed absolute authority. Anyone unwilling to obey could go his own way. Hitler 'forgave' those who had made mistakes in his absence, and demanded that there be no criticism of him or the party for a year. The audience responded with enthusiasm. After the speech, Hitler had arranged…..'a piece of pure theatre'. The Nazi leaders who had fought for supremacy while Hitler was in prison all 'mounted the platform and, among emotional scenes, with many standing on chairs and tables and the crowd pressing forward from the back of the hall, shook hands, forgave each other, and swore undying loyalty to the leader'……The speech succeeded. Hitler once again was absolute leader of the party' (from Landmark Speeches of National Socialism, edited by Randall L. Bytwerk, Texas A&M University Press, 2008)

SARTRE JEAN-PAUL: (1905-1980) French Existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist and literary critic. Sartre was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1964, which he declined. Autograph Manuscript, unsigned, one page, 4to, n.p., (Paris), n.d. (November 1953), in French. The working manuscript, containing a few deletions and corrections, is written in honour of Yves Farge, who had died earlier that year, and states, in part, 'J'ai connu Yves Farges quelques mois avant se mort.....Du premier coup, il m'a seduit par sa puissance silencieuse, par la patience du corps et de l'esprit avec laquelle il ecoutait les contradicteurs, par l'autorite de ses breves reponses, qui revelait la profondeur de ses convictions, et.....par la chaude amitie qu'il portait a tous les hommes, par cette confiance.....qu'il temoignait a chacun. Au Congres de Vienne il allait de groupe en groupe....il interrogeait inlassablement les delegues - tous les delegues, mettant tout le soin dont il etait capable a degager les courants qui brassaient cette grande foule; il etait le lien vivant de tous avec chacun, il voulait tenir compte de tous nos desirs et s'en faisait l'interprete aupres des autres organisateurs.....nous savions......qu'il etait un des principaux artisans de ce Congres.....ce que j'ai admire le plus en lui: le gout passionne des contacts directs et cet amour si vivant, si concret de la Democratie en acte' (Translation: 'I knew Yves Farges a few months before he died….From the first try, he seduced me by his silent power, by the patience of body and mind with which he listened to opponents, by the authority of his brief answers, which revealed the depth of his convictions, and…..by the warm friendship he bore to all men, by this confidence….that he showed to everyone. At the Congress of Vienna he went from group to group. He tirelessly questioned the delegates - all the delegates, taking all the care of which he was capable of freeing the currents which stirred this great crowd; he was everyone's living link with everyone, he wanted to take into account all our wishes and made himself the interpreter for the other organisers….we knew….that he was one of the main architects of this Congress…..what I admired most in him was his passionate taste for direct contact and this love so alive, so concrete of Democracy in action'). Accompanied by an A.L.S., J P Sartre, one page, 4to, n.p. (Paris), 17th November 1953, to Madame [Farge], in French. Sartre apologises for his delay and expresses his sympathy and the deep esteem which Farge inspired in him, also informing his correspondent that he will unfortunately not be able to go to Austria because the adaptation of his play Kean 'passé ce soir en “générale” et il faut que je sois aupres des acteurs toute le semaine qui suit' (Translation: 'is on tonight in “general” and I have to be with the actors all the time next week'), adding that he hopes to be freer later and have the opportunity to express his respectful friendship personally. Some very light overall creasing and minor age wear, about VG, 2 Yves Farge (1899-1953) French journalist and politician who worked with the French Resistance during World War II. Farge, a progressive politician close to the communists, participated in the founding of the Mouvement de la Paix in 1947 and served as the organisation's president until his death in a car accident in Georgia on 31st March 1953. While the World Congress of People for Peace, which was held in Vienna from 12th - 19th December 1952, is generally viewed as Soviet propaganda, Jean-Paul Sartre counted it among the most important experiences of his life. His participation marked a major turning point in his evolution, insofar as it publicly confirmed his status as a fellow traveller of the Communist Party.

London Gazette 1 January 1918: ‘Temporary Major, D.S.O., Indian Police.’ D.S.O. London Gazette 14 January 1916: ‘Temporary Major, Special List (General Staff Officer).’ K.P.M. London Gazette 1 January 1914: ‘Superintendent, Bombay Police.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 1 January 1916: ‘Temporary Major, Intelligence Corps.’ John Arnold Wallinger was born on 25 October 1869, at Poona, India, where his father, William, was deputy conservator of forests. He was baptised into the Church of England at the age of three weeks, after which nothing is known of him until 27 November 1896 when, at the age of 27, he joined the Indian Police. His initial appointment was as an inspector in Ahmedabad, north of Bombay on the route of the railway line to Delhi. After five years he was promoted to assistant superintendent, and in July 1902 was seconded to the Metropolitan Police for three months. Officially he was attached to 'C' and 'E' Divisions as an instructor. However, the coronation of King Edward VII - which was originally planned for June - took place in August of that year. He may well have taken over watching Indian nationalists during the coronation from someone unable to stay after the initial date was postponed. From November 1903 he was described as being ‘on deputation to Scotland Yard'. On his return to India, possibly still on the west coast in the Bombay area, he was involved in special duties connected with an outbreak of bubonic plague during 1904-5, before he could settle back into normal police work. One of the best places to acquire information of criminal and political activities was the gambling den. Wallinger would visit these dressed as an Indian, and, with his mastery of indigenous languages, was able to pass himself off as a local man. His subordinates once raided a den, and such was Wallinger's disguise that he was arrested by his own men. On another occasion, while on mounted duty at a demonstration he saw a colleague in trouble and went to assist. He received a sword cut to his head from one of the demonstrators, which put him in hospital for three months. Wallinger was promoted to superintendent, and by early 1909 was described as being on 'special duty working in the Criminal Investigation Department'. The following year he was transferred to London and appointed to be in charge of all political intelligence matters in America and Europe relating to India. He received the K.P.M. on I January 1914. With the outbreak of the First World War he was gazetted a major attached to the Imperial General Staff. His duties initially were concerned with preventing anti-British propaganda from reaching Indian troops serving in France. Their letters home were read by Wallinger's staff to ensure that no subversive sentiments reached the sub-continent. This work resulted in his being thanked personally by the Marquess of Crewe, when he was Secretary of State for India, and by his successor, Sir Austen Chamberlain. The end of the war saw his ultimate recognition for these duties when he was appointed a Companion of the Indian Empire in 1918. John Wallinger had a younger brother, Ernest, who was a professional soldier and who, by 1915, held the rank of major. Ernest was somewhat different to his older brother, for he was a graduate of Clare College, Cambridge, and had married a lady of considerable social standing. An original member of the British Expeditionary Force, he had lost a foot at the Battle of the Aisne in September 1914. Unfit for active service, he established an office in early 1915 to collect intelligence from Belgium. Coincidentally, John Wallinger had an interest in Switzerland, as a number of Indian nationalists had taken refuge there at the start of the war. Hence, when the need arose to control an intelligence gathering operation from Switzerland, Ernest Wallinger had little trouble in ensuring that the job went to his brother. The existing British organisation in Switzerland was used by John Wallinger to send spies into Germany, collect information and then pass it back to him in France. The Swiss were, however, vigilant in protecting their neutrality, and after six months it was extremely difficult for his men to work in the country. He needed to find someone new, whom the Swiss authorities would not suspect of being in British intelligence. Like his brother, John Wallinger had found himself drawn to a lady of a higher social level than his own. Unlike his brother, though, he had not married her and she had become his mistress. This lady was a friend of Syrie Welcome, who was the estranged wife of the American drug manufacturer, Henry Welcome; the daughter of philanthropist, Dr Barnardo; and the mistress of the writer, Somerset Maugham. The couples dined together several times, and Maugham used these occasions to express the wish to do something useful to help the war effort. There was no doubting Maugham's patriotism or his bravery. Despite his age - he was now 40 - he had managed to get a posting as an interpreter with an ambulance unit in Ypres. Although Maugham had qualified as a doctor, he had never practised as such, but he did speak French and German. His work took him close to the front line, and at times he had come under enemy fire. However, he had given up this work due to a tangled state of personal affairs, which included Syrie’s pregnancy. Maugham subsequently went to Geneva for John Wallinger where, using his cover as a writer, he was able to control agents operating in Germany. He did, in fact, write a play while there called The Unattainable, the title of which was subsequently changed to Caroline. Some of the agents were of dubious quality, and he became discouraged with his work. This, coupled with Henry Welcome citing him as co-respondent in divorce proceedings against Syrie, caused him to resign in February 1916. Nevertheless, Maugham continued to look after the Swiss operation until May, when Wallinger replaced him with a playwright, Edward Knoblock. Switzerland continued to be a difficult area from which to work, and John Wallinger tried to develop an operation in Denmark to gather intelligence from Germany. This was not a success, and by August 1916 he was working solely on his Indian intelligence activities. After the war, he was awarded the DSO for controlling a network of agents who had worked deep inside Germany, and thereafter he continued his political intelligence work for the Government of India from a base in London. Then, in 1919, he was seconded to Egypt where he carried out work on the surveillance of Indian nationalists. When he returned to London from this posting he was promot...

Original vintage propaganda poster for the post-war US sponsored European Recovery Program (1948) known as the Marshall plan. Great design by Italian graphic artist Mario Puppo depicting a woman holding a peace dove in her right hand and a spear in the other. Around her shoulders, arms and head a ribbon is draped with the flags of European countries. In front of her several ears of corn, symbol of abundance and prosperity, pop up from the soil. In the background a industrial plant is depicted. This design received the 4th Prize in the Intra-European Cooperation for a Better Standard of Living poster competition on the theme of cooperation and economic recovery that was held by NATO in Europe for the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an American initiative passed in 1948 to aid Western Europe, in which the United States gave over $12 billion (nearly $100 billion in 2018 US dollars) in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II.

Adolf Hitler, born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary (now Austria), was a German politician and dictator who became the leader of the Nazi Party and later the Chancellor and dictator of Germany. He played a central role in the rise of fascism and the outbreak of World War II.Hitler's political career began in the early 1920s when he joined the Nazi Party. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the party's leader and propagating an ideology based on nationalism, anti-Semitism, and Aryan racial superiority. Hitler used propaganda and charismatic speeches to gain popularity and support.In 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany, and he swiftly consolidated power, transforming the country into a totalitarian state. He implemented a series of policies that targeted political opponents, minority groups, and dissidents. These policies led to the persecution, imprisonment, and systematic murder of millions of people, including Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime.Under Hitler's leadership, Germany pursued an aggressive foreign policy, seeking to expand its territory and exert control over other nations. This expansionist ambition led to the annexation of Austria, the occupation of Czechoslovakia, and eventually the invasion of Poland, which triggered the start of World War II in 1939.During the war, Hitler oversaw a series of military campaigns, including the conquest of much of Europe. The Nazi regime implemented a genocidal plan known as the Holocaust, which aimed to exterminate European Jews through systematic murder in concentration camps. It is estimated that approximately six million Jews were killed during this period.As the war turned against Germany, Hitler's leadership became increasingly erratic and his regime faced significant military setbacks. In April 1945, with Allied forces closing in on Berlin, Hitler died by suicide in his bunker.Adolf Hitler's actions and ideology were responsible for immense suffering, destruction, and loss of life during World War II. His legacy remains one of infamy and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of totalitarianism, racism, and hate. The atrocities committed under his regime continue to be studied and remembered to prevent such horrors from happening again.Measures 18 x 24.
