This piece comes from the personal collection of Bill Shea and is extensively documented on pages 996 and 997 of Volume III of the book series THE STORIES BEHIND THE TREASURES OF WWII, “The Birth of a Compulsive Collector.” The lot comprises a block of beautiful red marble from Hitler’s office in the RK, two original reprint photographs of “tourists” entering Hitler’s bunker and the RK in Berlin in 1947, and a sworn reprint statement written by Helen Estock, who collected these objects while working in Berlin in 1948 and 1949. This is a historic lot. The marble measures 7 x 3 cm.
