Rarest WWII surrender documents in auction for COVID-19 relief
Several of the rarest World War II battle and surrender documents, many out of the public eye since 1945’s VE Day and VJ Day, are going up for auction in an event to support international health groups aiding in the coronavirus fight. The June 9 No Surrender to Coronavirus live online sale at Alexander Historical Auctions will feature the so-called “document that forced the surrender of Nazi Germany,” and that is expected to fetch $1 million for the charities. It is the “sister” to another held by the U.S. National Archives and called by a former U.S. archivist, “One of the foremost documents of the 20th century.” The entire proceeds of its sale will be donated to the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, Direct Relief, and NHS. Charities Together in recognition of Cpt. Tom Moore's contribution to the United Kingdom National Health Service.
Alexander Historical Auctions President Bill Panagopulos said he themed the auction around the nonstop fight to slow the spread of the virus. “Seventy-five years ago this month, the world finally conquered Hitler, an evil against whom we pledged 'no surrender.’ Today, history repeats itself with the worldwide fight against the insidious COVID-19 virus, and again we must be determined never to slacken or surrender,” he said. His auctions have frequently been featured in Secrets because of the historical significance of the items at sale. In this one, Panagopulos has pulled together 60 of the most critical documents produced at the end of the wars in Europe and with Japan.
The featured charity document is the permission from Adolf Hitler’s successor, Adm. Karl Donitz, to Field Marshal Alfred Jodl to surrender to U.S. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. “I authorize Colonel General Jodl, Chief of the Operations Staff in the High Command of the Armed Forces to negotiate an armistice agreement with the headquarters of General Eisenhower,” it reads over Donitz’s signature and stamped with the Reich's swastika. “Its importance and place in the most prominent holdings cannot be understated,” said Panagopulos.
The auction also includes Hitler’s last memo from his Berlin bunker in which he tells the nation, “I will remain in Berlin.” The madman committed suicide on April 30, 1945, as Soviet troops moved in on the Reich Chancellery. The sale also includes critical historical documents related to Hong Kong, now in a new struggle with China. Key among those is the Japanese surrender of Hong Kong to the British. Also included are signed photographs of the surrenders.
