VERY RARE Adolf Hitler’s Original Tray Recovered By A U.S. Soldier At The Eagles Nest/Berghof Wellner Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History

SOLD

Original Adolf Hitler Serving Tray By Wellner Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. Extremely Rare Adolf Hitler’s Personal Silver Tray Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified.  Made by Wellner with their name stamped and the number “36”  that is the code for this size tray. This is a very nice displayable size. Most items that service items were recovered at The Berghof (Hitler’s Home) This one came from the tunnels under the Berghof where most of the service silver was stored. Most was recovered by a U.S. 3rd Infantry Division and the 101st Airborne who was the first into the Berghof. The silver tray has an engraved Hitler National Eagle with a Wreath Swastika and Hitler’s personal “AH” monogram.   This is in fact one of the rare and the most desirable of all Hitler silver items. This was recovered in May of 1945. This large tray is in good used condition some scratches and smudges.  This tray has all the correct maker marks and hallmarks for the piece. The outside surface is bright and polished and is in a frame with a tag saying, “Eagles Nest” and “recovered from the ashes” this leads us to think the Veteran said “Eagles Nest” but it was really recovered from the Berghof because the Berghof was bombed and burned.  The U.S. soldiers put a sign up at the entrance to the Obersalsberg mountain saying, “Welcome To The Eagles Nest” after it was captured leading to many Soldiers calling the Berghof “The Eagles Nest” Adolf Hitler Silver was the most desirable of all war trophies. Every U.S. soldier wanted to bring home something of Hitler’s. Hitler’s silver was the choice item. Unlike silver eating utensils that had many in a set the large serving pieces where much fewer (and hard to carry). Many U.S. soldiers who were lucky enough to get a hold of Hitler’s silver opted for the less cumbersome eating utensils. Many times, only officers or soldiers with access to motor vehicles carried big pieces home. This item was very difficult to photograph because of the bright shine of the silver (it looks much better in person) 100% guaranteed to be authentic complete museum documentation (COA) Museum letter provided. An amazing historical artifact from the   20th century’s most infamous person Adolf Hitler. Do Not Miss this rare offering! Framed and tagged by the family of the Veteran! ONE OF THE BEST WE HAVE SEEN!
