Streicher signed this paper in pencil for Army veteran Glenn Dale Hunter when he was imprisoned in Nuremberg and Hunter was stationed there. It's signed: "Julius Streicher, 1945, Nr. 25, Nuremberg." "Nr. 25" (number 25) refers to his cell number at Spandau prison. The paper is worn but not falling apart - some tiny holes have formed between the "1" and the "9" in "1945" as you can see from the scanned image. There is a crease that runs between the "19" and "45."
Mr. Hunter had this document notarized in 1968, and the notary statement will be included with the piece. Carefully packed USPS Priority shipping is included in the purchase price.
Other sites sell Streicher signatures for well over $1000 - even $1999 - this one is priced at $777 and features a rare first and last name signature. If you have any questions please feel free to email cotumpub @ gmail.com for more information. Thank you!
Julius Streicher (12 February 1885 – 16 October 1946) was a prominent Nazi prior to World War II. He was the founder and publisher of Der Stürmer newspaper, which became a central element of the Nazi propaganda machine. His publishing firm also released three anti-Semitic books for children, including the 1938 Der Giftpilz ("The Toadstool" or "The Poison-Mushroom"), one of the most widespread pieces of propaganda, which purported to warn about insidious dangers Jews posed by using the metaphor of an attractive yet deadly mushroom. After the war, he was convicted of crimes against humanity and executed.
