KRIEGSMARINE E-BOAT BLUEPRINT & PHOTOGRAPH
In my travels I came across an original Kriegsmarine Kleinschnellboot (small speed boat) E-Boat blueprint accompanied by a photograph of the actual boat at the shipyard, the blueprint is dated August 12. 1944. Clearly the design was radical by any standards; a two man speed boat that is 9 meters (30 feet) in length incorporating what appears to be a inverted V-12 aircraft engine and equipped with twin torpedo tubes that are almost as long as the boat itself. I was so taken with the blueprint that I thought it would make a unique fine art print.
This Giclee art print measures 20” x 13” and is available on finely textured, high quality archival art paper that is in keeping with the look and texture of the original blueprint. Also included is a 10” x 7.5” copy of the photograph.

PANZERKAMPFWAGEN TIGER 1 ART PRINT
This striking 20” x 14” Giclee art print is of an artist or engineer’s rendering of a Tiger 1. The origins of the original print have been debated for years with some believing it was created at Hitler’s request for a never released book on the Tiger. Signed by both Hitler and Generalfeldmarschall Rommel, their signatures were possibly to indicate their approval for the image to go to press. For more documentation on the history of this print please refer to page 54 of a book titled “Leaders & Personalities of the Third Reich” by Charles Hamilton.

THE GORING WEDDING SWORD
 |
 |
Arguably the most famous sword in history is the so called Göring “Wedding Sword” produced by the prestigious firm of Carl Eickhorn to honor Göring’s wedding in Berlin on April 10,1935 to Emmy Sonneman, exactly 10 days prior to Hitler’s birthday. This 18” x 13” Giclee fine art print is made from a high-resolution scan taken from the original Eickhorn printing plate that is in my own personal collection. Since all printing plates are reverse images this art print has been “righted” in order to make it legible.
The set also includes a 10” x 6” autographed photograph of a flamboyant Göring wearing the Wedding Sword, a reprint from the Eickhorn postcard series.

THE HITLER & EVA BRAUN MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
Maria Zeldovitch was one of the official Russian interpreters at the Nuremberg Trials. From her personal archives came the original Russian photographs, circa 1945, of the actual Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun Marriage Certificate. The smudges, tears, stains and folds you see are on the original documents.
This historical document is dated April 29, 1945. In it, the bride and groom declare that they are of pure Aryan blood and that there is no hereditary impediments to their marriage. The signatures of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun appear at the bottom of the second page and is witnessed by Doctor Joseph Goebbels and Martin Bormann. Eva was so nervous that she almost forgot that she had just become Frau Eva Hitler. She started to sign as Eva Braun and then crossed out the "B" and added "Hitler" followed by "geb. (born) Braun".
Prior to the wedding ceremony, Hitler and Eva Braun had already agreed to a suicide pact. They had less then a day to live.
The 18” x 12” fine art print that is offered for sale here is a high quality, state-of-the-art Giclee digital reproduction printed from a high resolution scan of the original Russian photographs that are in my own personal collection. This museum quality print is printed on the finest textured, archival fine art paper available. These prints are so accurate, that under close inspection you can even see the nib marks from the fountain pen they used. Once framed, you cannot tell the difference between this print and the originals.
