    Correspondence from FR Langenhan of Zella Mehlis from 1939

    This looks to be signed by Fr Langenhan of Zella Mehlis. I assume the owner of FLZ? Interesting way he signed the letter? “Heil Hitler!”

    Being it is in print, l would think that is to show his support for Hitler. maybe through fear like a lot of other people.

    Nice find, Steve. I suppose by that time the dictator was so dominant that writing to the district court in Berlin without a Heil Hitler amounted almost to a statement of opposition...

    Langenhan was one of the largest manufacturers of bicycles in Germany. Used majorly by German troops in WW2
