E.S. Mittler & Son of Berlin was without question the largest and most successful publisher of military handbooks for soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS on subjects from weapons to motorcycle troops. Their very comprehensive Reibert manuals made the German Armed Forces run like a well-oiled machine. This postal receipt dated 23 June 1944 is for a shipment of one packet and is a rare piece of Mittler World War II ephemera. Reibert manuals themselves are easier to find than this sort of thing! Perfect for a Reibert manual collector.

TICKET TO THE GRAVES
OF SCHILLER, GOETHE
AND ROYAL FAMILY
AT THE FÜRSTENGRUFT
IN WEIMAR
This is an absolutely original Third Reich entrance ticket to the Fürstengruft or royal crypt at the cemetery in Weimar. The crypt was the last resting place of members of the House of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach as well as Goethe and Schiller.
Shown right is the 5-7/8 x 8-1/4 inch, one-sided official death certificate or death record for a retired Navy captain Peter Rudolph Conrad Lück as issued by the City of Hamburg, Germany. Note the official rubber stamp of the Hanseatic City Hamburg. The pink due stamp number 08751 shows 0.80 Reichsmark were paid to the city to file this Sterbeurkunde on 8 February 1944.
Käpitan Lück was born 17 December 1869 in Oels in Schlesien and died at the Bernard Nocht Institut on 7 February 1944. The Bernard Nocht Institut was (and is) a very well-known institute for shipboard tropical diseases and medicine (Bernard-Nocht-Institut fuer Schiffs- und Tropenkrankenheiten).
His parents and wife are mentioned on this official death certificate. Very good original condition, offered for sale for $25.00 delivered worldwide.
This lot consists of three items that a tourist visiting the Berlin area in 1939 saved. Apparently the visitor was a member of the German Bicycle Association as he saved their contact information (A). He or she kept what remained of a used entrance ticket to a Berlin palace (B) and also visited the Garnison Church (C) where Hitler became Chancellor in 1933.
