EVA BRAUN'S SLIP

EVA BRAUN'S SLIP
A very personal Eva Braun relic, her pink elastic rayon sleeveless slip, embroidered with a rose motif at the chest. The vertical inner seam bears the label of French brand 'Neerlandia', beneath a small tag giving the size '44'. Braun's initials'E B' are embroidered in pink and brown thread inside the rear collar, beside another size tag. Shows a few spots of minor soiling, else very good. Our consignor, a 40+ year dealer/collector, purchased this item and other personal possessions belonging to Braun approximately thirty years ago from an ex-O.S.S. agent Eugene Frankenfeld. Included with the slip is a copy of Frankenfield's original letter of provenance, dated April 14, 1976, indicating that he became Commanding Intelligence Officer for District Greater Salzburg in May of 1945, and confiscated luggage deposited by Braun and her family from a hotel in a small town outside of Salzburg. He lists the items he recovered, specifically mentioning '...1 box lot of Eva Braun dresses, undergarments, coat, scarves, hats...', among many other personal relics.
