LEY ROBERT: (1890-1945) German Nazi Politician, head of the German Labour Front 1933-45. A rare A.L.S., Dr. Robert Ley, on one side of an official Prisoner of War postcard, n.p. (Nuremberg), 23rd September 1945, to Anny Bullette, in German. Writing in bold pencil, Ley enquires if his correspondent is back at home, continuing 'If so, I ask you to apply yourself to the matter of Rolfland. Defend my rights in my interest, since the farm still belongs to me. I give you herewith full powers. Look after my children and bring them back'. Beneath his signature appear two lines of text in Ley's hand, 'Internal Security Detachment, O.U.S.C.C., P.A.C., A.P.O. 403, U.S. Army'. Hand addressed by Ley to the verso. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG Ley's letter was written just over a month before he committed suicide while awaiting trial at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
