NUENBERG GERMANY 1936 POSTCARD TO U.S. SENDER SAW HITLER GOEBBELS AND GOERING Very interesting pre-World War II postcard. Marc and Ed, visiting Germany casually mention at the end of a postcard to Brookline Massachusetts that "We say Hitle, Goebbels & Goering yesteday at Bayreuth. According to historic records: Each summer, from 1933 to 1939, Hitler attended the Bayreuth Festival, and he made the Wagner estate, Wahnfried, his second home. Because she had been one of his earliest supporters, Hitler had great affection for Winifred. Hitler repaid the Wagner family gratitude by pledging his undying friendship and his deepest devotion to Richard Wagner and Bayreuth. With the assistance of Dr. Josef Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, Richard Wagner became the legendary and ideological voice of the new party, and the musical standard by which all classical composers would, from now on, be judged. This is how Richard Wagner and Bayreuth fell under the weight of the swastika during the years before the beginning of World War II. "At the age of twelve, I saw ... the first opera of my life, Lohengrin. In one instant I was addicted. My youthful enthusiasm for the Bayreuth Master knew no bounds. " -- Mein Kampf, Volume 1, Adolf Hitler

RARE MONACO 1956 ROYAL WEDDING STAMPS RARE COMMERCIAL COVER USE ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE IN THE APS JOURNAL, "In 1956, Monaco issued a set of stamps to honor the marriage of movie star Grace Kelly to Prince Ranier. Almost everything to do with these stamps (from blocks of four to first day covers) are, today, rather inexpensive. However, true commercial usages of any of the stamps are quite rare. This seemingly common piece of mail from the Lancome perfume people is a major find worth well over $100!" THIS COVER HAS NO CONTENT. |
