Here's a rare Propaganda card that I just picked up that as a collector of Political items has about everything. Grimminger and the BF at the FHH. A lot of these cards are real works of art.

Erich,

A good addition to your RPT collection. Did the artist Friedmann do a series of illustrations like this one?

Nice postcard!

Bill

Hi Bill, yes he did a few more paintings most dealing with the Putsch. Now if I could only find the original painting of the above card!

Jakob Grimminger did live until he was 77 years old and died in poverty in 1969. Luckily for him he did not get sent to prison but had all his property taken from him. Just like a house fire! he did manage to get involved in politics but because of his past it did not go too far. I dont know what ever became of his marriage to his wife or what happened to her. Here is a wedding photo

Grimminger stayed married until his death in 1969 and they had no children. Grimminger was given a small pension for his time on the Munich City Council during the TR period.

What is the source for the photo? And where is that dagger?

Thanks for posting!
