Assassin Reichsstatthalter Georg Joel Signed Dedicated Photograph

This is a Mininsterpraesident Georg Joel signed and dedicated Heinrich Hoffmann photograph.

This photograph was blue quill pen signed and dedicated to Gauleiter Carl Röver (Kark Roever) on the occasion of Joel's promotion as Reichstatthalter of Oldenburg-Bremen on May 5, 1933.

Joel was one of 2 "agents" sent by Martin Bormann (along with an SS doctor) to ensure Röver didn't get to England to sue for peace with Winston Churchill in May, 1942.

"On the night of May 13, 1942, Röver startled the party hierarchy when he announced that he was going to see the Führer on the next day and then proceed to meet Winston Churchill, in order to make peace. Coming virtually on the first anniversary of Rudolf Hess' flight to Scotland, the matter was immediately brought to Martin Bormann's attention. An SS physician diagnosed the last stages of syphilis in Roever, and he was rushed to an isolated area. Two agents [Georg Joel, Ministerpräsident of Oldenburg and the Stabsleiter of the Röver's Gauleitung] were sent by Bormann to examine Röver, and they reported on May 15 that the sick man had succumbed to heart failure. The whole matter was hushed up and soon forgotten in the course of the war."
(Excerpted from Charles Hamilton's Leaders and Personalities of the Third Reich, R. James Bender Publishing, 1984; story also found in Karl Höffkes, Hitlers Politische Generale, Grabert-Verlag, 1986/1997)
