Bouhler was arrested on 10 May 1945 by American troops. He took his own life nine days later in the U.S. internment camp at Zell am See in Austria. We have a few of these and the one you receive will be as good as if not better than the one in the photo. It measures 8” by 11 ¾”. There are minor creases and minor discoloration. The top left corner has an embossed national eagle. Below is the script “Der Chef Der Kanzlei des Führers der NSDAP”. The top right has the Berlin address. Very interesting!
