We offer you this ultra rare document, signed by one of the most infamous and powerful Nazis connected to concentration camps, Holocaust and SS, the well known SS-Obergruppenführer Theodor Eicke. It deals with the permission to award SS men with the very rare SS award "SS Schützenabzeichen" (today this badge are worth 3000+ eur in collector forums). SS-Gruppenführer Max Simon asks Eicke to approve the award of this shootin proficiency badge to some SS man from 1.SS-Totenkopfstandarte "Oberbayern", based in Dachau. SS-Obergruppenführer Eicke gives the approval in the following text, signing personally this document. Also Max Simon signs personally this one. Theodor Eicke was one of the most prominent Nazis during the III Reich. He is considered the architect of the Nazi concentration camp system as we all know and one of the key figures in the development of the concentration camp system in Germany used in the Holocaust. He established the SS brutality within the camps, and he was a fervent anti-Semitic and anti-Bolshevist. He also hated Catholicism and was a violent Nazi, who also took part in the execution of SA Chief Ernst Röhm during the Night of the Long Knives. He was the chief of the SS-Totenkopfverbände, or SS units that controlled concentration camps, he was also the second Lagerkommandant of KL Dachau and the founder of the Waffen SS-Totenkopfdivision, created by him with concentration camp guards that were ultra Nazi fanatics. He reached the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer and General der Waffen SS and was a good friend of Heinrich Himmler and the enemy of Reinhard Heydrich. He was also protected by Reichsführer-SS Himmler and reached the less honorable post of Reichsinspektor of Nazi concentration camp system, that he developed using torture, punishment and cruel assassinations in all of them. He was awarded the Kinght's Cross with oak leaves. Eicke was killed on 26 February 1943, when his plane was shot down during the Third Battle of Kharkov. Max Simon was Lagerkommandant of Sachsenburg concentration camp (one of the very first concentration camps created by the Nazis), SS-Gruppenführer Max Simon, who was also responsible of the Marzabotto Massacre, and awarded among others, with the Knight's Cross with oak leaves. Document is in perfect condition, with no damage and great examples of both signatures, being Eicke's signature one of the most difficult ones to find (even more than Himmler's) for any III Reich collector. Where can you find so many important ranks and responsibilty in Holocaust as well as evil in one signature??? Are you gonna miss this chance?  You can also see first photo  Max Simon and second photo Theodor Eicke
