TWO FRAMED GERMAN CERTIFICATES, PRESENTED TO OTTO TELSCHOW, WAR MERIT CROSS 1ST CLASS, SIGNED AT THE FUHRERS HQ ON 30 JAN 1942. BOTH DOCUMENTS HAVE EMBOSSED STAMP OF THIRD REICH. Otto Telschow (27 February 1876, Wittenberge, Brandenburg ? 31 May 1945), a German Nazi Party official, was born in Wittenberge and became a police official in Hamburg. Telschow joined the German Social Party in 1905. In 1925 he joined the Nazi Party, and was the founder of the regional Nazi newspaper, the Niedersachsen-St?rmer. In October 1928, Telschow was appointed Gauleiter (regional party leader) of the Nazi party's regional subsection Gau Eastern Hanover, a post he retained until the end of World War II. Telschow gained more influence after 1935, when the Nazi-party Gaue usurped the functions of the streamlined German states. In 1930 he was elected to the Reichstag for the Ost-Hannover electoral district, and remained a member until 1945. He was taken prisoner by the British Army at L?neburgand committed suicide in prison by slashing his wrists. **Condition Report:** Authenticity not verified
