Re: Hitler's Belt and Cross strap

[AntonioDe]

Hello all, I had a question about the belt and cross strap Adolf hitler wore during the invasion of Poland. I have attached a photo. Did anyone ever recover this belt and strap? Meaning, is it in a museum or something?

I think it would be difficult to differentiate that belt and strap from probably thousands of similar ones.
Unless, his mother stitched his name inside it. (Sorry)

I think someone told me Mr. Wheatcroft has 2 of them, but I'm not sure...

Another question, was Hitler's cross strap marked? Like a rzm mark if anyone knows?

Update:
I got into contact with Kevin Wheatcroft and he says he does not own the one in the photograph, he said it could very well be possible that I have the said strap.

What provenance do you have ? I do not know of anyone would have any information on Hitler's belts and cross straps. He would have had dozens with some at the Fuhrerbau, the Munich apartment, the Berghof, the Reichschancellry, the Wolf's Lair and likely other locations. There is nothing distinctive with regards to his belt and cross strap so solid proof is unlikely.

What is interesting is the cross strap on the General behind him. I wonder what the bright square is? A buckle? Different then Der Fuhrer's...

If you are referring to the rectangular metal piece, it appears to be a length adjustment buckle.
