A signed portrait of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler encased in a period silver frame. As head of the secretive paramilitary organization, the Schutzstaffel (SS), autographs of Himmler are considered exceptionally rare compared to that of more high-profile figures such as Hitler, Göring or other prominent military figures. As overseer of the many concentration camps and the Einsatzgruppen mobile death squads, he served as one of the main architects of the Holocaust. Himmler was guided by his interests in Germanic paganism, mysticism and the occult which he tied to his racialist philosophy in order to create a new, Germanic religion to replace christianity. Such esoteric rituals and symbolisms were incorporated into the SS, with the logo of the SS itself being comprised of two ancient Germanic sig (victory) runes.

The frame is adorned with an eagle clutching two crossed marshall’s batons and a swastika, a motif often used by the Reichsmarschall. Excellent condition.
