SP16.  WWII German Original Funeral Sash of Dr. Robert Ley. Reichs Minister of Labor and member of Hitler's Inner Circle  (A top ranking Nazi party official)   This is only one half of the original sash, it has been torn in half with one GI taking one of the arms and his friend taking the other  half, he wrote a short notation near the tear with a pencile.   This half of the  sash  has a sewn on Swastika  circle  down near the silver fringe section. Also printed on the sash is  (( Reichsorganisationsleiter Dr. Robert Ley ))  Also found pinned to this sash is a news clipping cut from a paper and written in 1945 the day afer Dr. Ley was captured, telling the story of his capture.  It seems when picked up he claimed not to be Dr. Ley, he was going under another name, but while sitting in a room being questioned, a couple other prisoners were brought in, when seeing him they said  " Herr Dr. Ley " which blow his cover. " A couple days after being captured he killed himself "   The story written the day after his capture by a reporter who was there is very interesting to read. Plus with this group are a couple tickets with his name on them, a picture of Dr. Ley sitting with Hess and another signed picture of him, plus an official document signed by him.  This is a very Rare ID'd item from a member of Hitler's Inner Circle......$2,500.
