  • At the end of World War 2, there was a lot of looting inside of Berlin especially inside many of the most prominent Nazi governmental buildings. Inside of the Reich Chancellery, a desk was taken and this was the desk that Hitler used to write letters and work on. This was found inside of his private studies and offices inside the huge complex, but today this exists. On this desk was the deaths/executions of millions of people sealed and planned?

    The Russians have the desk he used at the Chancellory. It's twice the size of that, and inlayed with intricate designs. That's some clerk's desk.

      This desk stood in the private office of Hitler in the old Chancellory. In his private quarters were he lives. Looking at the damage of the old chancellory after the war, it is possible that the desk is removed before the last part of the battle begun. The building was practicly flattend and no furniture could had survived. Also the large desk of Hitler was moved away out of the big office in the Neue Reichskanselarei and survived in the DHM in Berlin.

    I am not convinced that this was actually AH`s desk. (Hitler`s stationary was everywhere in the Chancellery). I wonder what happened to the large one in his official office, you know, the one with the wood inlay of a drawn sword on the front side?... (Around 5:59 in)

    While at one time or another Hitler may have sat behind this desk, I’m not convinced it was used exclusively by him. His ego was so off the charts I can’t imagine a desk so small and insignificant would have been acceptable to Hitler. Yes, it is heavy and thick wood, (an homage to German furniture builders) but more befitting for use by a secretary or clerk. Even in his early days Hitler would have demanded something far more grandiose for his high position.

    Having worked in a governmental departmental Private Office, admittedly in the London far more recently and not nazi germany way back (wasn’t born then 😊), “personal stationery” is commonly held in the outer office otherwise called the Private Office that is the Secretary of State’s Principal Private Secretary’s office. This office is usually adjacent to the Secretary of State’s room for obvious reasons. Yes personal stationery is also in the desks of Secretary of States where on occasion, they may wish to hand write a note usually headed with the Crown’s crest and department name, but generally no address. Other stationery held in the Private Office is generally with both crest, department name/logo, Secretary of State title at the head and the departmental office address. I see an online Ulric of England purveyor auctioneer of medals and military effects has for sale purportedly to be personal stationery adorned with gilt eagle crest, Adolf Hitler and Munchen, from his apartment in Munich.
    The more telling clue in this story of the desk is the card. Was it from Hitler and to whom or was it from another to Hitler? I suspect the former, perhaps a secretary or adjutant of other functionary who will have kept the card in the desk (if the story of the card is true) as a keep sake where it lay until discovered. Most staff are often enthralled with the “honour” of their “superior” deigning to write them a card, which again having worked in a Private Office is common staffing practice of the Secretary of State to do.
    However, regarding the argument that it’s a different desk from his very grand chancellory office. Clearly it is yes. That it is claimed it was taken from the chancellory, ok perhaps it was. Was it a desk he used? Well it’s not uncommon for kings and queens for example to have massive grand state rooms to impress other signatories, but day to day prefer to use a much plainer and intimate office and desk, so perhaps. Other than that, it’s a desk used by staff.

    To the account manager: (1:22, 7:49), why don't you be fair and do a story of Stalin's desk that he had in the Kremlin? according to certain historians (Steven Kotkin, David Reynolds) Stalin signed the deaths of many more people than Hitler ever did during his reign. He would laboriously sign orders late into the night to early morning of the execution orders of individuals; then after a long night would go to sleep on his small bed (about 8am) after first listening to Mozart's piano concerto #25.
