Comes with a four page letter of provenance from Ullrich Ellenbeck in German with an English translation and a small signed picture of him in his Army Officer uniform with one of his dogs dated 1943. The letter gives his life history, how he joined the Nazi party in 1930 while studying medicine in Munich, then pursued a military career. He married his wife Anna Leder in 1932 who knew Eva Braun and made a dress for her. In 1933 he became a member of the SS and attended the SS school at Wewelsburg Castle where he had a second consecrated SS "Eheweihe" marriage. At Wewelsburg he came into contact with Bernhard Frank, later SS commander at the Obersalzberg, who got him a job there working with guard dogs. Here he met Hitler and after a conversation about their respective dogs got the postcard signed in 1937. The Goebbels one was a gift from Magda Goebbels who knew his wife Anna. Ullrich later fought in Russia with the Wehrmacht and and was taken prisoner of war before eventually returning to his family in 1951.
