Featured in this lot is this cast iron sculpture of Adolph Hitler done by Walther Wolff circa 1933. Walther Wolff (1887-1966) was born in Wuppertal and originally studied architecture in Munich. Then he attended to the Munich Art Academy, where he first studied painting and drawing with H. Groeber and Habermann. He then studied sculpture under Balthasar Schmidt at the same college. He graduated from the Berlin Art Academy, where he was a Georg Kolbe (1912-1914) student and Louis Tuaillon's Meisterschüler. In 1933, he rose to prominence with the creation of the 'Ehren-plakette des Führers' (Honour Plaque of the Führer). This was established as an official iron picture and was displayed in public places, schools, and official institutions throughout Germany; it was also sold commercially to corporations and the general population. Wolff’s famous sculptures were made by the hundreds, but after 1945 they were also destroyed just as abundantly. Walther Wolff died in 1966 at the age of 79 in Ossiach, Austria. The sculpture shows a side portrait view of Adolph's head and reads below, "‘Ich glaube an deutschland und kämpfe dafür heute und morgen und in der zukunft bis unser der sieg ist" which translates to, "I believe in Germany and fighting for it today, tomorrow and in the future until our victory is done". The piece is constructed of cast iron and appears to have been painted with a gold color that has been worn off in some areas. The piece shows good condition overall with wear present but no signs of obvious damage is noted. The piece measures 12 9/16" L x 8 7/16" W x 1" D and weighs 4 pounds and 12 ounces.
