This lot includes the collection of Nurnberg prison guard Domenick A. Peronti, a fifth grade technician of the 391st anti-aircraft battalion.

The first item is a typed signature list containing the signatures of President Karl Doenitz, Hermann Goering, Reich Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick, Hitler's physician Karl Brandt, Luftwaffe general Albert Kesserling, Reich Minister for Economic Affairs Walther Funk, field commander Georg Lindemann, Reich Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Stuckart, Minister Otto Meissner, NSDAP Foreign Policy Leader Alfred Rosenberg, NSDAP treasurer Franz Xaver Schwarz, Chief of the Operations Staff of the Armed Forces High Command Alfred Jodl, Hitler's personal lawyer Hans Frank, General Franz von Epp, Capitan Otto Salman, General Erich Dethleffsen, Chief of uniformed police Kurt Daluege, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Minister of Finance Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk, Hunger Plan co-creator Hans Joachim Reicke, Lord Mayor of Stutgart Karl …show more content…
Also included are serveral original copies of a 1978 Evening Journal of Wilmington, Delaware that feature Peronti's collection. The article mentions that mentions an SS totenkopf ring named "Wolff" that was part of Peronti's collection as well as discusses the monetary value of the collection at the time that the article was written. All items are in very good condition with no damage but only some yellowing as expected. All items in this collection have been examined by a forensic documents specialist who certifies that every item in the collection is genuine. A sheet that shows his test results is included with this
For example, in Herman Wagener’s memorandum, or private letter, to Otto Von Bismarck, he gave recommendations on strategies to strengthen the army and essentially gain more dominance and power (doc 3). Herman Wagener, being a conservative politician, advised Bismarck in the private letter that he shift the masses’ opinion while strengthening the power and reliability of the army. Also, Kaiser Wilhelm 1 made a speech to Reichstag proposing that they enforce “... the repression of Social Democratic excesses ...” (doc 5) and also promote workers’ welfare. This German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm 1, made his speech to Reichstag naturally hoping to influence the parliament to support Bismarck by saying that they need to convict the socialists in order to cure defects which will lead to more support from many people and more power. In addition, in 1884 Bismarck spoke in support of the Socialists, in support of their ideas, and apologized for the proposal that the government tried to win more support for the Anti-Socialist law (doc 6). Bismarck made this speech in support of the Socialists in order to gain their support to increase his dominance and power. Finally, Eugen Richter wrote a newspaper article in 1890 explaining Chancellor Otto Von

]Haffner, is a book which is hard to define. Only 165 pages long, Haffner has crammed more relevant information into this book than many twice its length. He observes Hitler's roller coaster ride through life and the country that he eventually took along. From Hitler's private life to the complete betrayal of Germany, Haffner evaluates the conditions and impetus for Hitler's accomplishments and failures. These include not only Hitler's psyche, but also the political arena of post World War I Europe.
This declaration was as surprising as the justification behind it, for on page 81, that neighbor explains, “‘I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people.’” This moment was something I could only describe as shocking, as it was the truth, or a crooked version of it. Hitler promised to exterminate the Jewish people
This investigation will address the research question, to what extent was Germany’s post-World War I economic depression a causal factor in Hitler’s rise to power from 1919 to 1934? With the Treaty of Versailles, the German government was required to pay 132 billion gold marks of war reparations, drastically worsened with the US Wall Street crash. This effectively crippled the German economy and created a desperate people. For this investigation, Hitler’s private life history and pre-military career will not be analyzed. His political rise will be examined from the perspective of economic and social factors. Several primary sources will be explored, including the Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Hitler’s 25-Point Program. In addition, tertiary sources covering Hitler’s non-personal life and rise to power will be studied.

In 1942 in the summer, Hans Scholl and Alex Schmorell wrote the first four leaflets of six opposition leaflets, called the “Leaves of the White Rose.” These leaflets criticized the Nazi regime and mentioned all of their crimes, from the mass extermination of Jews, to the dictatorship and the elimination of the personal freedoms of Germany’s citizens from the mass extermination of Jews. They called the Nazi regime evil, and called for Germans to stand up and resist the oppression of their government. These leaflets also were made up of quotes from great philosophers and greatly admired writers, establishing how they were clearly aimed at the intellectual public, and particularly students and professors. Across the bottom of the leaflets was this phrase, “Please make as many copies of this leaflet as you can and distribute them.”

...2. Between the July and November elections the Nazi party lost 34 seats. However the implementation of Schleicher, to attract trade unionists and members of the NSDAP, only succeeded in making Hitler’s position in the Nazi party stronger. This was because Schleicher’s ‘policy of diagonal’ only attracted Strasser, for which he was ousted from the Nazi party. This was Hitler’s main opponent in the quest for leadership of the nazi party.
