Gauleiter Burckel  was Gauleiter for Vienna, Austria and was a Gruppenfuhrer in the SS. He held the title of "Reichskommisar for the reunification of Austria and Greater Germany". Burckel was reported to have committed suicide on 28 September 1944.

SS Gruppenfuhrer Walter Schmitt was a WWI veteran and POW. He joined the NSDAP in August of 1931 and the SS in February of 1932. He was a recipient of the Gold Party Badge and a member of the Reichstag. In 1942 he was promoted to SS-Obergruppenfuhrer and General der Waffen-SS.
He died in Czechoslovakia in 1945.

Items from Himmler's  office are rare and this piece to Gauleiter Bruckel is very special because of the Hitler connection.

There is also a notarized letter from  Ray and Josephine Cowdery of Rapid City SD stating the letter and the signature are 100% original.

Also included is a copy of the original offering by USM Rare Books in 2003.
