SS Himmler document
RARE
ORIGINAL 1940 LETTER
WRITTEN AND
SIGNED BY
REICHSFÜHRER-SS
HEINRICH
HIMMLER,
SENT TO
SS-GENERAL
AND GAULEITER
OF VIENNA
JOSEF BÜRCKEL
This is a very rare piece of Third Reich correspondence!

Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler wrote this letter on his personal stationary to “Fellow Party Member”, SS-General and Gauleiter Josef Bürckel in Wien (Vienna), on 8 January 1940. In the letter he thanks Bürckel for a case of wine that Bürckel sent him as a Christmas gift. Himmler writes that he appreciates the gesture very much, and wishes the Gauleiter all the best in the coming year.
SS Himmler signature
It is signed with: “Friendly Greetings and Heil Hitler! Your H. Himmler” [signature]

The number 4376 in the upper right corner of the letter is written in the same hand and ink as the number 8 in front of Jan. 1940.
SS Nazi Burckel
The letter measures 7-1/2 x 9-3/4 inch (folds open to 7-1/2 x 15 inches) and arrived the office of the Gauleiter of Vienna, SS-Gruppenführer Bürckel on 10 January 1940. The purple “receiving” rubber stamp also shows that Bürckel was the “Reichskommissar for the Reunification of Austria and Greater Germany”.
This letter has two holes punched through the left edge as it was once filed in a 2-ring binder.

As most collectors know, anything sent from Reichsführer-SS Himmler’s office during the Third Reich is now virtually impossible to obtain. That this letter was sent to a Gauleiter and that it is hand signed by Himmler himself adds greatly to its uniqueness, collector value, and its value as an investment.

This rare letter written and signed by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler is absolutely guaranteed to be original to the Third Reich period and personally hand signed by Himmler.
