Hi,
Although I have no doubt AH gave people gifts... what are the chances that he decides to give a female civilian Housekeeper a bunch of medals as a gift? A totally off the wall idea IMHO. One without precedent. Why not a tea set, or signed Photo? Plenty of Führer gifts out there... but so far no cases of having given his medals to someone for cleaning his toilet.....
In the past we have seen signed letters confirming bits of his suspenders, Tie etc...
My guess is.... either these are original AH pieces, but not given by AH, rather recuperated by the housekeeper who then justified having them by claiming they were gifted.
or...
Simply a bunch of pieces sexed up with some BS letters.
Hi Chris
got to agree I looked on these pieces with a large degree of scepticism.One original and very desirable thing his housekeeper owned and included in this sale is in fact his presentation signed photo in silver frame and original case,something I would exchange any of my KC s or Mappes for !!
According to literature Hitler considered his photo gift as his highest personal accolade.

Hi Christer, is the Schimmelmann von Lindenburg pictured Theodor or a brother. I have Theodor s paperwork from school through First World War, second world war and into sixties. I am sure there are Finish awards included and 1stWW iron crosses. I will take some pictures if it's the same guy and of interest.

Sorry to say this is a fake but I would imagine you have already found this out as your post was last year - I hope you managed to return the cross
