WWII – Hitler – autograph – Geli Raubel – Hitler’s niece and lover who committed suicide in 1931 remarkable picture postcard sent to Hitler while he was in prison in Landsberg in 1924 (where he wrote Mein Kampf). The main body of the postcard was written by Angela Raubel, Hitler’s sister and reads : [trans] ‘Dear Adolf. This is the promised postcard. You see I am keeping my promise to write to you promptly. I hope that you are not cross because of Leo. The day before yesterday Geli & Freida have arrived here. Many greetings from your sister Angela.’ On the picture side of the postcard Geli Raubel has written : [trans] ‘Dear Uncle Adolf. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Many greetings from your Geli’. Provenance: this card was given by Hitler to his housekeeper in Munich where he lived for many years. After WWII she fought a successful legal battle against the Bavarian Government who claimed all of Hitler’s personal property. She successfully argued that this postcard as well as many other items had been given to her personally by Hitler long before his death and therefore they were legal hers. Much has been written about the relationship between Hitler and Geli Raubel, but it is now universally accepted that they were lovers. Her death, apparently by suicide, has been the subject of considerable speculation, fuelled by the activities of the Nazi hierarchy in spiriting away her body for a very private and secret funeral and the fact that no inquest was held. Some have claimed that she was in fact murdered – probably to ensure that she didn’t detract Hitler from his aims. There are also those who believe Hitler murdered her himself. Autographic material of Geli Raubel is of itself of the utmost rarity – but even more so when on a postcard sent to Hitler when he was in prison during his incarceration in Landsberg.
