Hitler's Spork

Details

After the previous 16 items are awarded, the REAL contest begins! Whoever writes the best article will also get Hitler's spork. This is serious.

Adolf Hitler’s Personal Formal Oyster Fork Stolen From The Brown House/Fuhrerbau In Munich By A U.S. Solider. Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. A solid silver Hitler oyster spoon, which was in his personal set. This spoon has Hitler’s personal national eagle with his “AH” monogram. It has all the proper hallmarks on the back. This 6″ Oyster Fork is from “The Hitler Personal Formal Pattern” It is the most fancy and most desirable of all the Hitler silver sets. This piece was absconded to the United States along with several other pieces by U.S. Officer Captian Herman E. Wilkenson   of the 11th Field Hospital attached to the  42nd Division. The 42nd Division was among the first U.S. troops to enter Munich and they captured the Fuhrerbau and BrownHouse. The BrownHouse was bombed but Hitler’s silver was kept in the basement and was unharmed! The thief called it “Nazi Headquarters” but it was verified the basement of the BrownHouse! There was also a kitchen in the basement for the dinners held next door.  Such “Formal Pattern” silver was used in the Fuhrerbau next door for fancy state dinners and this particular piece was used only when Hitler was present, and marked personal.    

Hitler’s silver was the ultimate war trophy for U.S. soldiers. It could be slipped into a pocket, and nobody knew the better. Yes, Americans went to Europe and stole Hitler's spork. 100% guaranteed to be authentic complete museum documentation (COA) will be provided to the winner.
