nazi spy lover]: [arvad inga] (1913-1973) danish journalist and hollywood gossip columnist who (falsely) claimed to have had three personal meetings with adolf hitler and who also (accurately) entered into a romantic relationship with john f. kennedy during world war ii. these two matters led to j. edgar hoover and the fbi investigating arvad as a potential nazi spy. a fascinating group of t.ls.s., some of them carbon typed retained copies, etc., all relating to the nazi's own investigation of inga arvad within the reichs chancellery and of claims (published in various articles arvad authored) that she had been received by adolf hitler on several occasions, including (in chronological order) a carbon typed retained copy of a letter from dr. helmuth von feldmann, a senior member of joseph goebbels' ministry of propaganda staff, one page, 4to, berlin, 26th march 1936, to the german embassy in copenhagen, replying to their request of december 1935, via the foreign office, for further information regarding arvad and informing them that she was crowned as a beauty queen in 1932, then married 'a supposed egyptian prince [kamal abdel nabi; in fact a diplomat] in paris, who was imprisoned soon after', returned to copenhagen penniless and worked as an amateur journalist writing novellas for women's magazines before developing a relationship with the jewish filmmaker [paul] fejos, obtaining a leading role in a film which failed in denmark, and also stating 'in germany she allegedly had relationships with mrs. goebbels and mrs. goring' and that 'danish correspondents were astonished to report that she received an interview with the fuhrer, even though she had no assignment and no relationship with berlingske tidende', and in concluding adding that the foreign office has also been informed; a t.l.s. by herluf andersen, a danish journalist, one page, 4to, copenhagen, 17th august 1936, to adolf hitler, in german, explaining that he has been invited to attend the nazi party rally in nuremberg, and is currently working for the right-wing berlingske tidende, and would like to take the opportunity of his visit to meet hitler for a personal interview, adding that the questions will be submitted ahead of time so that hitler can decide whether he answers all of the questions or not, as well as choosing any other topics he may want to discuss. with two official stamps, one from adolf hitler's private chancellery, to the head, and accompanied by two further related covering letters; a carbon typed retained copy of a letter from georg ferdinand duckwitz (1904-1973, german diplomat who served as an attaché for nazi germany in occupied denmark during world war ii and who was instrumental in danish resistance groups rescuing 95% of denmark's jewish population ahead of their intended deportation in 1943), three pages, 4to, copenhagen, 10th september 1936, in german, expressing the view that the embassy has always rejected requests for interviews with hitler from danish press representatives, and complaining of the underhand tactics used by inga arvad following one brief meeting she had with hitler in november, remarking that she is only regarded as a casual journalist in denmark 'who knows how to turn occasional interviews and articles into a business' and that she had offered the article following her meeting with hitler to the highest bidder from the major newspapers, adding that there is outrage and a mood of incomprehensibility within journalistic circles of how it was possible that arvad, married to a jew, managed to obtain an unauthorised interview with hitler, and concluding that herluf andersen would be a more suitable candidate to interview the fuhrer; and a brief t.l.s. by wilhelm wolf (1897-1939, austrian politician and historian, the last austrian foreign minister before the de facto annexation of austria by the nazi german empire in 1938), one page, 4to, berlin, 18th september 1936, to the secretary of state and head of the presidential chancellery, in german, returning various enclosures, and with various pencil annotations, one stating, in full, 'for the attention of the office. according to the report here from copenhagen, frau arvad is supposed recently to have had an audience with the fuhrer. do we hold any information about this?', to the verso of wolf's letter is a t.l.s. by werner kiewitz (1891-1965, german diplomat, a ministerial adviser in the reichs chancellery), one page, 4to, berlin, 1st december 1936, in german, stating, in part, 'the files of the presidential chancellery show no evidence that the danish woman, frau inga arvad, asked for, and had, a conversation with the fuhrer and reich chancellor. jung, a counsellor in the reich chancellery, informed me, in answer to a telephone enquiry, that - according to papers held there - frau arvad was merely received by the fuhrer at the end of 1935, but that, on the other hand, there is no trace of an audience in september 1936 on the files. the reich chancellery has, in addition, obtained from the ministry of foreign affairs a copy of a report from the german embassy in copenhagen, dated 10th september 1936, and as a result, is now in the picture as to the background of the journalist frau arvad. care is to be taken that frau arvad is not received again. it is also impossible to tell from the files whether the dane, herluf andersen, perhaps had an opportunity to talk to the fuhrer, on the occasion of the reich party rally, to which - according to his letter - he was invited. it can certainly be seen from the above that there are further steps to be taken in this matter'. an intriguing group of documents linking two of the 20th century's most famous political leaders, adolf hitler and john f. kennedy, via a danish journalist who may have been a nazi spy. each of the documents with file holes to the left edges, some tears, a few small areas of paper loss, and light overall age wear, generally g, 6  \n   \n  the life and career of the danish journalist inga arvad would appear to be a tangled web of fact and fantasy. her claim of having been hitler's guest at the 1936 summer olympics, and of having been received by him personally on three occasions, are simply not true based on the evidence of the present documents.  \n    \n  in one article she wrote her description of hitler was later translated into english as 'you immediately like him\u2026.the eyes, showing a kind heart, stare right at you. they sparkle with force'. another source claims that, on meeting hitler, arvad asked the fuhrer whether he was wearing a bullet proof vest. his response (one that seems totally unlikely and without foundation) was 'frisk me', which arvad claimed to have done, and found that he was not wearing any such protection. the beauty queen also claimed that hitler had told her that she was a 'perfect example of nordic beauty'.  \n    \n  arvad further claimed to have been close to hermann goring and joseph goebbels and their wives, as referred to (and effectively dismissed) in the present documents. the journalist, in a scoop, broke the news of hermann goring's engagement to the german actress emmy sonnemann in 1935, having obtained the information over luncheon at the home of an ambassador. whilst that may have been true, arvad's subsequent claims that she attended goring's wedding would seem to be totally unfounded. writing of the events immediately before the ceremony, arvad recalled visiting goring's home, pronouncing 'it looked like a museum\u2026.among the [wedding] presents i remember: a rare little bird in a gold cage sent from the emperor of japan, quite a number of wild boars, a lion cub, emeralds as big as bird's eggs, even a painting from hitler'. she also claimed to have befriended joseph goebbels at the wedding, who apparently went on to secure her interviews with hitler. there is no photographic or primary documentary evidence to support arvad's claims regarding her attendance at the wedding and, had she done so, it would certainly have been noted within the present documents.  \n    \n  as a result of the (fictious) articles arvad had already published, apparently demonstrating her close relationships to hitler and other members of the nazi hierarchy, she attracted the interest of j. edgar hoover and the fbi as a resident alien working, at the time, in america as a journalist at the washington times-herald. in november 1941, while john f. kennedy was serving as an ensign in the united states navy's office of naval intelligence, he and arvad began a romantic relationship. when hoover discovered the affair, the fbi extended their investigation through wiretraps, employing the use of listening devices when arvad and kennedy were together. their affair was intense, although not without obstacles, the largest being that in the minds of the fbi, arvad was a nazi spy.   \n    \n  had hoover and his fbi agents had access to the present documents at the time of their investigation they would have surely quickly realised that, in fact, arvad did not have the access she claimed to hitler, goring and goebbels and their concerns of her being a spy would have been readily dismissed. this, in turn, may have allowed arvad and kennedy's love affair to blossom further, and the future american president may well have had a different first lady at his side on becoming president."},"estimateMax":1000,"lotNumber":"1212","title":{"es":"[jfk's nazi spy lover]: [arvad inga] (1913-1973) danish journalist and hollywood

[withheld] my special treatment note, nevertheless for today no ''program'' remains and ''lidice'' is scheduled for tomorrow\u0085\u0085.6.) after these ''preparations'' i have the biggest concerns, because we didn't discuss this matter yet. therefore i beg you, to ask me as few as possible\u0085..i wish to skip ''lidice'' (doc. 557 to 914) to skip ''ganzenmuller'' (doc. 1253 + 1537) to skip ''execution'' (doc. 1254 to 396) the only solution would be to schedule it for tomorrow. because then the matter would be cohesive and [could be] discussed and submitted in more detail\u0085..therefore to avoid giving the impression as if i want to hide something, when nothing is to hide. 7.) doc. 1531\u0085.does not respond to that, what the indictment accused me in this regard. namely if ss leaders burger and linka (?) are my subordinates, as the indictment claims\u0085..' signed by eichmann at the conclusion of the third page. the fourth page bears a further brief note (later crossed through) concerning documents numbered 1129 to 1140 which are in brown folder number 2. an exceptional document relating to one of history's most important war crimes trials which resulted in israel's only judicial execution to date. accompanied by a complete english translation. vg robert servatius (1894-1983) german lawyer known for his defence of nazi war criminals including adolf eichmann. servatius was assisted at eichmann's trial by the legal assistant dieter wechtenbruch. the lidice massacre took place in the protectorate of bohemia and moravia (now the czech republic) in june 1942 and saw the whole village destroyed on the orders of adolf hitler and heinrich himmler. the massacre was an act of reprisal for the assassination of reinhard heydrich and the genocide totalled 340 deaths including 82 children who were later exterminated after having been transferred to the chelmno concentration camp on the orders of adolf eichmann. during his trial eichmann faced four counts of crimes against humanity against non-jews, including his participation in the lidice massacre. he was found guilty for deportation of part of the population of lidice, but not for the massacre itself."},"estimateMax":9000,"lotNumber":"1238","title":{"es":"eichmann adolf: (1906-1962) nazi ss-obersturmbannfuhrer, known as the 'architect of the holocaust.' ..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/18673/lot/120504/view","directSalePrice":6000,"soldPrice":6500,"lastUpdate":"2021-12-03T17:18:52.647Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac6,000 -

received an answer to my letter. i can have no doubt as to my letter being lost\u0085..i must say that i was not very sanguine in my expectations. for i thought the circumstance of being a foreigner

think that it is a punishment for having been too bold in addressing a superior without being encouraged to it\u0085\u0085what you tell me about the state of portugal is sad enough. but you don't mention a word upon one of the most interesting subjects to lead to draw an inference respecting the future fate of that kingdom & that it is something about the personal character of the infante which for what we hear is by no means to be trusted, being unruly, rash & violent, ignorant in the extreme and in proportion fond of absolute power. and upon such a man will rest the foundation of the prospering of 3 millions of men, and by analogy that of spain too? if the french can give us a sufficient cause for remaining in spain the non payment of what they claim from the spanish government. england may prepare herself to agree to the extinction of that independent estate and only weigh in her mind if it will be for her a sufficient indemnity for the aggrandisement of france to take a share in the spoil. my hopes of a change in the state of spain are very weak, & few years more as you say will place one beyond the pale of ferdinand's power and that of his monks\u0085.in the grave'

scarce\u0085..if among some respectable english merchants they would make here a sort of banking establishment merely to discount bills and make advances to planters upon their produce under judicious managers, they might derive a very handsome profit with perfect safety\u0085..i am very anxious to hear of the arrival of d. miguel to portugal to see the state of that country come to a crisis. i have very little doubt but that he will put down the constitution as soon as he will be left to himself and that england will be obliged to induce d. pedro to come to europe, if she wishes not to see portugal under the french influence by putting it under an absolute monarch' (13th february 1828), 'the long expected answer of lord wm. bentinck came at last\u0085.[his lordship]\u0085.wished me to

every description. the extreme parties will agree in the work of destructions, but even men of the same principles will disagree upon what is to be substituted. no one can trust the oaths or pledges given by any of the bourbons & any constitution imposed or forced upon them must i fear prove anarchical. the nation will sink deeper & deeper in distress & misery; to avoid this there is no other remedy but to unite the whole peninsula under d. pedro & send d. miguel to the brazils. this is a most desirable plan for the balance of power & to restore to both kingdoms by their union part of the strength & weight which they have lost with their colonies. the present unpopularity of the bourbon makes this plan possible which in any other circumstances would be rash & impracticable. what liberal can be imprudent enough to re-enter spain with no other security but an amnesty from the king?......i for one will not trust myself to such a frail security as ferd[inan]d's word' (31st march

of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. he held the post of prime minister for close to twenty years, 1783-1801 & 1804-1806. the youngest prime minister of great britain in 1783 at the age of 24, and the first prime minister of the united kingdom. to the 2nd october 1785 letter, downing street, at the time of wilberforce´s angelical conversion, an extremely important and exceptional content letter, referred to by william hague in his biography william pitt the younger (2005), pitt states in part `..i am indeed too deeply interested in whatever concerns you, not to be very sensibly affected by what has the appearance of a new era in your life, and so important in its consequences... i will not disguise to you that few things could go nearer my heart than to find myself differing from you essentially on any great principle. i trust and believe that it is a circumstance which can hardly occur.. they are sentiments engraved in my heart, and will never be effaced or weakened\u0085´ further writing `..you will not suspect me of thinking lightly of any moral or religious motives which guide you.. but forgive me if i cannot help expressing my fears that you are nevertheless deluding yourself into principles which have but too much tendency to counteract your own object, and to render your virtues and your talents useless both to yourself and mankind\u0085 but why then this preparation of solitude, which can hardly avoid tincturing the mind either with melancholy or superstition? if a christian may act in the several relations of life, must he seclude himself from them all to become so..´, further again writing `..you do not explain either the degree or the duration of the retirement which you have prescribed to yourself\u0085 and if you will open to me fairly the whole state of your mind on these subjects, tho´i shall venture to state to you fairly the points where i fear we may differ, and to desire you to re-examine your own ideas, where i think you mistaken..´ to the 19th december 1785, pitt states in part `.. as much as i wish you to bask on, under an italian sun, i am perhaps likely to be the instrument of snatching you from your present paradise, and hurrying you back to ''the rank vapours of this sin-worn world''.´ to the 8th april and 28th june 1788 letters, and referring to the slave trade cause motions, pitt states in part `..as to the slave trade, i wish on every account it should come forward in your hands rather than any other. but that in the present year is impracticable; and i only hope you will resolve to dismiss it as much as possible from your mind. it is both the rightest and wisest thing you can do. if it will contribute to setting you at ease, that i should personally bring it forward (supposing circumstances will admit of it being brought forward this session) your wish will decide\u0085 in one word however be assured, that i will continue to give the business constant attention, and do every thing to forward it..´, further in june saying `..the business respecting the slave trade meets just now with some rub in the house of lords.. i wonder how any human being can resist... there seems not a shadow of doubt as to the conduct of the house of commons next year, and i think with good management the difficulties in the other house may be got over..´ further again in spring 1789, `..to have the day for the slave trade postponed.. grenville and i have formed a project, of reducing the case.. into a string of resolutions.. the more we consider the case, the more irresistible it is in all its parts.´ to the 8th august 1792, referring to king george iii, `..i must be at windsor on sunday.. immediately on lord guildford´s death the king has written to me in the most gracious terms to say that he cannot let the wardenship of the cinque ports go to any one but myself.. in the manner in which the offer came, i have had no hesitation in accepting, and i believe you will think i have done right.´ to the 7th september 1796, referring to continental europe and war, pitt states in part `..the message of the directory confessing in such strong terms their distress, and the archduke´s recent victory on the 22nd give some chance that our overtures may be successful. in the meantime it will be indispensable to take very strong measures indeed both of finance and military defence; and if the spirit of the country is equal to the exigency, i am confident all will yet end well. an immediate spanish war is i think nearly certain. the only motive to it is the fear of france preponderating over their fear of us; and the pretexts as futile as could be wished.´ small overall minor age wear, otherwise g, 24 william wilberforce (1759-1833) british politician, member of parliament for 45 years, from 1780 to 1825. philanthropist and leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. one of the leading english abolitionists who headed the parliamentary campaign against the british slave trade for twenty years until the passage of the slave trade act of 1807. his first campaign proved to be the world's first grassroots human rights campaign. on 2 april 1792, wilberforce brought again a bill calling for abolition. the memorable debate that followed drew well-remembered contributions from the greatest orators in the house, william pitt the younger and charles james fox, as well as from wilberforce himself. lord melville as home secretary, proposed a compromise solution of so-called ''gradual abolition'' over a number of years. the bill was passed. in 1785 wilberforce underwent an evangelical conversion, resolving to commit his future life and work to the service of god. at that time, religious enthusiasm was generally regarded as a social transgression and was stigmatised in polite society. wilberforce's conversion led him to question whether he should remain in public life. both john newton, a leading evangelical anglican and pitt counselled him to remain in politics, and he resolved to do so with ''increased diligence and conscientiousness''. wilberforce also championed causes such as the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. his campaigns led to the slavery abolition act 1833 which abolished slavery in most of the british empire. wilberforce died just three days after hearing that the passage of the act through parliament was assured. the leading members of both houses of parliament urged that he be honoured with a burial in westminster abbey, and while tributes were paid, both houses of parliament suspended their business as a mark of respect. he was buried in westminster abbey, close to his friend william pitt the younger.. william wilberforce said of william pitt, ''for personal purity, disinterestedness and love of this country, i have never known his equal.'' william grenville (1759-1834) british prime minister 1806-07. he succeeded pitt who died being still in office. home secretary 1789-91 & secretary of state for foreign affairs 1791-1801 under pitt´s prime ministry. george iii (1738-1820) king of the united kingdom 1760-1820. the confederation of cinque ports is a
