shiggert Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Here is a relief from the Führer Adolf Hitler. Its livesized and the material is bronze... The name of the carver is K.Kull. Its marked on the Führers collar. As the britisch 11th hussars reached my grandparents hometown... My grandmother buried theese relief, some weapons, silver cutlery and some jewellery in the garden. The only thing she found after the hussars left the village was the relief. Maybee a neighbour has seen my grandmother while she buried the things.
Brian Wolfe Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Hello shiggert, An interesting artifact with family connections. Too bad about the jewellery though. Regards Brian PS: I live in New Hamburg, Canada
shiggert Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Hi Brian... sh...t happens... the jewellery are lost... but the beautifull relief still exists... the jewellery could be used today... but its better to hide the relief... people in germany allways thought you must be a nazi when collecting such things... they didnt see the historical artefact... but for me its part of the history... greetings from OLD hamburg...
