ORIGINAL
German WW2 Lufthansa document !*!*! From the archives of the German Lufthansa, only here on Ebay. Unique chance !*!*!
Original Lufthansa form with "Deutsche Lufthansa" letterhead, date in Berlin in 1944. The document is related to the German "Erdmann & Rossi" company who was a Berlin coachbuilding company that became known in the first half of the 20th century mainly for luxury bodies
As early as 1912, Erdmann & Rossi became the purveyor to the court of the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and Kaiser Wilhelm had luxury cars made as prestigious gifts for foreign heads of state and top politicians, such as the Ottoman War Minister Enver Pasha
In the 1930s, the company specialized even more in luxury bodies on chassis from German and foreign car manufacturers and also took over the German representation of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Erdmann & Rossi also converted trucks for advertising purposes, and one major order came from the Maggi company
After the seizure of power, things continued to go uphill; customers now included leading Nazis such as Göring, Hess and celebrities loyal to the system such as racing driver Bernd Rosemeyer (Horch 853 Coupé "Manuela", 1937/38) and the first Oscar winner Emil Jannings, whose converted Mercedes-Benz can still be seen today at Aalholm Castle on Lolland. The second great German racing star Rudolf Caracciola, flying ace Ernst Udet and Ernst Heinkel were also on the customer list
A new branch of business during the war was luxury equipment for Junkers of Lufthansa and for the German Luftwaffe
The entries on the document reads as follows:
