Good Afternoon,

The creamer makes sense within the context that Herr Hitler was a
vegetarian and was very fond of tea and cream puffs in the afternoon.
Many folks are not aware that he would not allow smoking in buildings
that he lived and worked in and forbid the consumption of alcoholic
beverages of all kinds in this presence.

Subject: WWII Tableware (Additional information from original inquiry)

 

Dear Listers:

 

I had originally posted an inquiry for a person seeking information on a
piece of WWII German tableware (with connections to Hitler).  The
original inquirer has sent additional information following this
message.  It seems the piece is a "creamer," and not a "pitcher" as
originally thought.  I have been forwarding everyone's post on the
subject to her, and will continue to share the information.  I do have
photos of the item, if anyone would like me to send the .jpgs to them
off-list.  Any additional information is appreciated.  

 

"I went back and checked the email I sent to you with the pictures and I
see where it was not clear about the fact that this piece is a CREAMER,
not pitcher. It is probably about 4 inches tall so it is feasible that
someone could "slip" it into their pocket.  I am sorry I didn't get the
dimensions to give you.

I have been trying to remember "the story" that this man told my father
and I do remember something about this creamer coming from somewhere
other than Hitler's regular home.  Instead, it was supposed to come from
some kind of "hideaway" that Hitler was staying at to avoid capture
towards the end of the war. I remember that the man said the breakfast
table was set and there was hot food on the table but the Germans had
escaped.

Sorry about the confusion.....I know that this is not an easy task and I
appreciate your help."
