These envelopes were recovered from files captured from the Obersalzberg. The contents were separated for intelligence analysis and the covers were considered of no consequence and discarded. They were saved by one of the CIC as souvenirs. These particular covers are addressed to Adolf Hitler at the Reichskanzlei in Berlin, at Haus Wachenfeld in Obersalzberg, and the Munich Apartment in München. If you are interested in them, please email us for details. Some of them are listed here.
The condition of the covers is near-excellent with signs of routine handling. They are slit on three sides (to ensure the complete contents were exposed). There are a variety of sizes (from 2-1/2 by 5 inches to 6 by 5 inches), colors, postmarks, and dates, most dating to the Christmas season of 1933 and early 1934.
These covers make outstanding -- and affordable -- period accent pieces for AH related framed groupings.
