Questions & Comments

Do you mind if I ask how this came into your possession (estate sale, antique store, etc.)?

I don't mind at all...if you'd tell me why you are asking? :)

I studied history & specialized in WWII & I've personally never seen an authentic Nazi telegraph in person. Many of the upper echelon committed suicide inside their bunkers once the Reich fell & destroyed evidence of orders they'd sent beforehand. I've seen copies of SS & Luftwaffe orders. So I was just curious of its origin/how it came to you. It's a really interesting piece =)

Ah, I see....another history buff!! :) I got this--and other WWII German pieces--from an ephemera dealer in Germany. They have ephemera from the 18th century on up to present day--and not just German, but stuff from all over the world...so you can spend a lot of money rather quickly if you're a history buff!! ;) I didn't mean to sound curt when I responded to your first message; I guess I was a little on the defensive side because I didn't know where you were going with your question...I've had some rude messages from people who take offense to my listing anything with a "hakenkreuz" on it....

No not at all. It's your listing & you have the right to be cautious. I'm just always wary because nowadays vintage pieces & antiques are "in" (or whatever you'd call it) & people make copies of stuff so whomever sold it to you could have easily told you it was real. People even fake patinas on larger pieces (like tables, statues, etc). But that's a really neat back story. Good to know!

Wow! I may have to save up and bid on this! I'm fanning and watching for sure! I need a favor. I need people to go to my watcher's auction please. It's for the Tim Holtz Embossing Folders. (Sizzix). Thanks! Actually, he's right. I am a history teacher. There are some authentic posters out there, but you have to know where to look.Unusual because of the markings. Interesting...

Very nice! Makes me wish I payed a little more attention in Mr. Kroner's German class!

Apr 12th, 2013 at 8:51:25 PM PDT by

LOL...you and me both!!

Apr 12th, 2013 at 11:56:27 PM PDT by

Fanned! Thanks for dusting off the word hakenkreuz, been some time since I saw it used.

Apr 14th, 2013 at 12:04:39 PM PDT by

Thanks for the kind words!! :)

Apr 14th, 2013 at 12:08:11 PM PDT by

Why would people be offended by you listing anything with hankenkruez on it?

Apr 14th, 2013 at 5:52:24 PM PDT by

Well, when you sell items like this, there are those who think that you agree with or support or deny the whole episode...

Apr 14th, 2013 at 7:54:40 PM PDT by

Do you know what type of paper the telegram is?

I think this is a great listing. Anything we can learn about history, whether it be good or bad, serves a purpose for the younger generation in their learning.

Apr 14th, 2013 at 7:45:10 PM PDT by

I don't know what type paper it is....all I can tell you is that it is very thick and very sturdy..Thank-you for your kind words and your support! :)
