I Have a silver creamer, claimed to be from Eva Braun's villa. It was liberated in ww2 and has been in my family since then. It is clearly marked with a crest of a robed woman holding something and is standing on a field of crowns.

I would greatly appreciate anyone helping me find more about this item.

Pictures will be sent to those with interest to help.

Thanks

Once you have responded with pictures of the piece with the marks posted on this Forum I'm sure would elicit an appropriate response. We would be all be interested in assisting you if possible.

BTW many of her silver pieces are well documented.

Thanks for asking.

I am also putting aside the fact that I am a grandchild on my mothers side of the regime & am looking at this query from an historic point of view in terms of silver makers from the era. It happened & some things unfortunately must be remembered as a matter of history , sadly good or bad.

I hope everyone understands my response.

to be more precise: "liberated" means stolen or looted by the Germany occupying allied forces - a common and widespread habit. Nearly every German houshold (if not already bombed to rubbish)lost his valuables to the "liberators"!

I agree - it seems that anything of any possible value or interest was looted either by the Americans or the Russians, or the British, or the French. It was not only personal items of value that the soldiers took from houses, shops, and people, but also the governments of the Allied armies were taking anything and anyone who were considered to be of possible military or scientific value. For example, there was a big effort by each government to grab as many German scientists as possible, along with every kind of military technology from rockets to jet aircraft to smaller things

The Russians and allied forces were there as freedom fighters in the ultimate theme, if it were not for the German leaders intent to take over the world, by means of violence they (the GI and Russian soldier) would not have been there. ??????

The corrupt German leaders looted,
the German civilians looted,
the freedom fighters looted.

Can you give us the measurements & are there any markings on the bottom or anywhere else, under the handle etc.

Thank you
