Unique present given by the association of teachers of Danzig to the war criminal and Gauleiter of Danzig-West Prusia Alber Maria Forster. This present consists of a kind of container or pot made from brass and with an engraved dedicatory-plaque that reads: "To our Gauleiter Albert Maria Forster, given for for his 36th birthday. The National Socialist Teachers' Association. Regional Cultural Chamber. Danzig 26.7.1938"

So this present was for sure in Forster's mansion or office and was probaly plundered after Soviet troops entered in Danzig.

This item is complete, with no damage but needs cleaning.

Albert Maria Forster (26 July 1902 – 28 February 1952) was a Nazi German politician and war criminal. Under his administration as the Gauleiter of Danzig-West Prussia (the other German-annexed section of occupied Poland) during the Second World War, the local non-German population of Poles and Jews was classified as sub-human and subjected to extermination campaign involving ethnic cleansing, mass murder, and forceful Germanisation. Forster was directly responsible for extermination of non-Germans and strong supporter of genocide of Poles which he advocated already before the war. Forster was tried, convicted and hanged for his crimes in Warsaw after Germany was defeated.
