Historical Description: The German military and civil elite formed a sort of aristocratic class in Germany before WWII. As was fitting for their status, they used various types of luxury goods including unique, personalized items. For many Nazi leaders, this included sets of silverware and china for use on formal occasions and sometimes for informal use as well. Some of the most highly regarded silversmiths and glass and porcelain manufacturers in Germany and elsewhere were employed to create these fine wares, which were adorned with emblems ranging from initials, monograms and family crests, to insignia of Nazi organizations. In the case of the highest Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler, he had a number of sets of silverware, place settings, linens and service items, used for different functions in his various homes and in the places where he entertained domestic and foreign leaders. When American troops entered Germany in the closing months and weeks of the war, these personal items that had belonged to infamous Nazis were very eagerly sought after as souvenirs. Today, these items, especially those that belonged to the highest echelon of German leadership, are generally regarded as high-end collectibles.
