Rochus Misch – “The Last Witness” (Führerbunker, Bodyguard of Adolf Hitler)

Original postwar signature of Rochus Misch on a postwar photograph. Misch (29 July 1917 – 5 September 2013) served with the 1. SS-Panzer-Division “Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler” (LSSAH) and later with the Führerbegleitkommando (Führer Escort Command) as bodyguard, courier, and telephone operator to Adolf Hitler.

He was among the last surviving eyewitnesses of the Führerbunker in Berlin in May 1945, where he personally witnessed the aftermath of the deaths of Adolf and Eva Hitler, as well as the Goebbels family.

Details:

• Authentic postwar autograph signed “Rochus Misch.”

• Condition: Very good; as seen.

• Format: Postcard size.

Collector’s Note:
A historically important and increasingly scarce autograph, signed by one of the last surviving members of Hitler’s personal staff and a direct eyewitness to the final days of the Third Reich. Highly desirable for collections focused on WWII eyewitnesses, LSSAH, or Führerbunker-related history.
