FRANZ VON PAPEN
(1879-1969) Chancellor of Germany and Vice Chancellor in Hitler's early years of power, von Papen was accused and later acquitted of war crimes. Good content T.L.S. as German Ambassador to Austria on official letterhead, 1p. 4to., Vienna, Feb. 22, 1935 to WILHELM BRUCKNER (1884-1954), Adolf Hitler's chief adjutant. In part: '...The Fuhrer had invited me...to accompany him on his journey to the Saar region...I would like to know how to make arrangements and I ask for confidential information on what is planned...' He also requests that only a single day be devoted to touring with Hitler, so as not to undermine other politicians who would be present. Red indelible 'read' mark across letterhead, two file holes, else very good.
