Thes piece were recovered by a British soldier only identified as ‘Billingsby’ of No. 2 Platoon, 672 Army Troops. Accompanying this lot is a photocopy of a letter he sent home to his parents at the time of his find, dated July 14, 1945, which he wrote on Hitler’s own letterhead. In part: ‘…We are living just on the outskirts of Berlin…Last night our company arranged a trip sight seeing into Berlin…The…Chancellery a most wonderful building I have ever seen. The Russians are out keeping guard over it but they allowed us to inspect the inside…We found quite a lot of useful stuff. I gathered quite a lot of the old boys writing paper, it is very good paper…I am sending you a little of materials out of the Chancellery. The bit of green off his settee and the other bit off his chair out of his sound proof room…’ Along with the letter are two photocopies of the aforementioned settee and chair.
