EXTENSIVE NAZI DOCUMENT GROUPING OF THE RAILWAYMAN RESPONSIBLE FOR HITLER'S TRAIN
This rare Nazi document grouping consists of 8 original items, all belonging to an unmarried man named Franz Gundlach, born 4 February 1914 at Rommerode (Kreis Witzenhausen). Gundlach was a career railwayman in Kassel who worked his way up to a position as an important railway executive - important enough to oversee the configuration and movement of Hitler's train at Rastenburg (East Prussia), location of Adolf Hitler's military headquarters on the Eastern Front.
The documents are:
- A very rare Dauerausweis, a 4-1/8 x 5-3/4 inch, 2-sided gray leinen permanent identity document which allowed Reichsbahnbetriebswart Gundlach unlimited access to Sonderzug "Führer", Hitler's train. It was signed by Kommandant des Stabsquartiers Ministerialrat Kasupeky and was valid until 31 December 1943. We have never seen another such document in our 35+ years in this business.
- Bremszettel, a 1-sided 4-1/8 x 5-1/2 inch piece of paper with data about the configuration of the Sonderzug "Führer" dated 29 December 1943, filled out at Rastenburg (East Prussia), location of Adolf Hitler's military headquarters on the Eastern Front (Hitler was at Fuehrerhauptquartier Rastenburg on 29 December 1943). Zugführer Gundlach signed the Bremszettel which shows the configuration Sonderzug "Führer". The Führer's Special Train was a train which was frequently used by Hitler to travel between various headquarters throughout Europe. It was his field headquarters on wheels.
