EVA BRAUN'S PINK LACE SLIP
Description:
Silk pink lingerie once owned by Eva Braun and bearing her monogrammed clothing tag. The full-length slip is 40 in. long with a simple lace-like design of the same color encircling half of the top of the dress in a v-shape. The slip is supported by two delicate ribbon-like shoulder straps. The garment is, of course, sleeveless, and is straight along its entire length. The breasts are slightly pleated, and the entire garment is fitted with no elastic. A small embroidered tag with her monogram 'E B' in very fine thread has been professionally hand-sewn to the rear of the collar. The tag predates Braun's 'butterfly' monogram and is absolutely original to the garment. There is also a tiny size '44' tag attached. There are two tiny ink spots which barely detract, otherwise this relic is in fine condition. Our consignor, a 40+ year dealer/collector, purchased this item and other personal possessions belonging to Braun approximately thirty years ago directly from ex-O.S.S. agent Eugene Frankenfeld. Frankenfeld is said to have also uncovered the correspondence between Hitler and Braun at Schloss Fischhorn as well as Hermann Fegelein's papers hidden there. According to memoirs written by Hitler's secretary, Christa Schroeder, Greta Fegelein and Herta Schneider left the shattered Berghof with many trunks of Eva Braun's personal possessions, depositing them at the SS facility at Schloss Fischhorn where Braun, her siblings and her parents often visited. They were of course never recovered by Braun but were instead 'liberated' by Fischhorn at the immediate end of the war. Sold with our COA, upon request.
