![Two 1l bottles of vodka and a 75cl bottle of ruby port. [3]](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/aa6edc87-a66d-4a93-8b5d-aeae00b799ba/34c9ec75-b6a1-4a2f-8a04-aed000979e12/468x382.jpg)

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.
