The infamous telegram which Hitler’s deputy sent to him in the dying days of WW2 in his Berlin bunker is to go up for auction.
Luftwaffe chief and Gestapo founder Hermann Goering sent the telegram to his Fuehrer on 23 April 1945 asking for permission to assume leadership of the crumbling Third Reich.
The telegram sent Hitler in a frenzied rage and caused Hitler to strip his hand-picked successor of power and appoint Admiral Karl Doenitz as his successor after he committed suicide.
Now it is to go under the hammer at an auction house in the USA next week where it is expected to command a price in excess of 15,000 pounds.
Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland is selling it on Tuesday. The telegram, taken by Hitler secretary Martin Bormann, was found in the Berlin bunker by an American soldier after the collapse on Nazism on May 8 1945.
