EVA BRAUN'S STOCKINGS
An unused pair of stockings once belonging to Adolf Hitler's mistress and later wife, Eva Braun. The darker-toned silk or high-quality rayon stockings are still stitched together at the toes, and bear the paper label: 'Nowa 200 fein'.The stockings also are imprinted 'Nowa' with the size '9 1/2'. Fine. 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.
