Schlegel Sale - WJColl25

"W.J." Collection: III Reich proofs and essays - May 9, 2025

May 8th, 1945 is the most significant date of the 20th century. On this day, the world began to change. The "GREAT GERMAN REICH" had capitulated. The 3rd Reich era had sunk into rubble and ashes. The guns fell silent in Europe. World War II was over. 60 million dead were the price.

May 8th, 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of this memorable day. This date is a special reminder of the darkest 12 years of German history, just like the German capital Berlin, which has declared this day a public holiday. We have therefore chosen 9 May 2025 for a special auction.

  • This offer is an opportunity to present unknown details to an international public.
  • This gives historians new opportunities to study the history of the years 1933 - 1945.
  • The material shown in the catalogue also gives historians extensive possibilities. Many depictions on the objects ensure that things from the "Hitler era" are not forgotten.
This auction catalogue is therefore a unique history book. From a philatelic point of view, highlights are thrown on items in which German history from 1933-1945 takes centre stage. Volume 1 of the documentation ‘Thema 3. Reich’ provides detailed information on the provenance of the items on offer.

On May 9th the auction house Schlegel, Berlin, will be auctioning the historically most important collection of designs, essays and proofs for the stamp images created by German artists during the Third Reich. The auction will feature 288 different items. The predicate UNIQUE applies to this object.
