HAND-HAMMERED SILVER CANDLEHOLDER, FÜHRERBAU, MUNICH, 1269TH ENGINEER COMBAT BATTALION

Categories

  • Adolf Hitler - Silverware Formal Pattern

Part of the smoking set, this hand-hammered candleholder was removed from the Führerbau by Captain Donald Hobeck of the 1269th Engineer Combat Battalion. Hobeck commanded Company A for a brief time, while the unit advanced on Munich and removed this piece along with numerous other AH linen and silverware pieces.

The base of the candleholder is engraved with the classic Greek key pattern, used on the formal pattern silverware, and is maker-marked FHW (Franz Hermann Wandinger).

Four of these Leuchter were also ordered for the Eagle’s Nest, and one such example is also evident in use in the Berghof winter garden.
