Rare original dinner menu from George S. Patton's 60th birthday celebration at the Spa Hotel in Bad Nauheim, Germany, on November 11, 1945. Octavo, featuring colorful hand-decorated double ruled borders, four-star rank, and unit insignia designs. Boldly signed under the four-star rank insignia by Patton, "G. S. Patton, Jr." Additionally signed by eighteen attendees, including: Robert B. Patterson, recently elevated to Secretary of War; Hobart R. Gay, Patton's Chief-of Staff; Paul D. Harkins, deputy Chief-of-Staff and later Vietnam-era commander; Geoffrey Keyes; and Thomas H. Nixon. In near fine condition. General George S. Pattonâs 60th birthday celebration was a day-long event that served both as a reunion with fellow veterans of the Third and Seventh Armies and as a farewell before his planned departure for the United States on December 10, 1945. The occasion offered a brief moment of joy amid the turbulence of Pattonâs final months. In September, just weeks earlier, he had been relieved of his positions as commander of the Third Army and military governor of Bavaria by General Eisenhower, following controversial remarks in which he compared former Nazi Party members to Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Reassigned to lead the Fifteenth Army, a unit tasked with compiling the official history of the war, Patton found little satisfaction in the new role. He disagreed with American denazification efforts and believed U.S. forces should remain strong in Europe to counter any future threat from the Soviet Union. With no reassignment to the Pacific forthcoming, Patton hoped simply to return homeâ"a journey he would never complete. On December 9, a truck collided with his jeep, resulting in a broken neck and paralysis; he died in a hospital in Heidelberg on December 21, 1945.

"(WORLD WAR II) KEYES, Geoffrey, Lt. Gen. Archive: Hand-colored and annotated map outlining the division of Germany; 25 contemporary V-Mail letters from Keyes to his wife. Waiblingen-bei-Stuttgart, Germany: 649th Engineer Topographic Battalion, June 1945. Broadside, map measures 22 by 29 inches, titled "Administrative Map of Western-Germany, June 4, 1945." V-Mail letters each measure 4-1/4 by 5-1/4 inches. $12,000.Lieutenant General Geoffrey Keyes' unique hand-colored and annotated map outlining the division of Germany per the Berlin Declaration, produced just after Germany's unconditional surrender, along with 25 contemporary letters by Keyes to his wife discussing the dramatic events of these historic times.It was agreed at the Yalta Conference, held in Crimea, February 4-11, 1945, that after the war, Germany would be split into four occupied zones: American, British, French and Russian. On May 7, 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Reims, France, to take effect the following day. The Berlin Declaration of June 5, 1945, confirmed the division of Allied-occupied Germany into four occupation zones according to the Yalta Conference. The map is titled "Administrative Map / Western-Germany," dated "4 June 1945," printed by the 649th Engineer Topographic Battalion (649th Engr. Top. Bn 1945") in Waiblingen-bei-Stuttgart. The landkreise (rural district), stadtkreis (urban district within landkreis), and land boundaries (made up of adjoining stadtkreis) are noted. Identified with flags, there are three Region Headquarters (Darmstadt, Marburg, Stuttgart) and five R.B. Headquarters (Frankfurt, Kassel, Wiesbaden, Mannheim, Karlsruhe).Eight areas are outlined by hand in various colors. There are 17 landkreis at the western and southern borders of this map which are not outlined. These areas are in the French occupied zone. France was not represented at Yalta and Russia would only agree to a separate French occupation zone "within the British and American zones." It is possible that when this map was printed, it was not yet determined if the 17 non-outlined landkreis were American. The four divisions were not confirmed until the Berlin Declaration on June 5, 1945, the day after this map was published. The French zone includes the stadtkreis Baden-Baden and Bavaria. The French zone bordered mostly France and Switzerland, but also small parts of Belgium, Luxembourg, and Austria. (Included is a color photocopy of the four occupied zones indicating the area depicted in the Administrative Map of Western-Germany here offered.)Also present are 25 pages of V-mail, each 4-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches, from Lieutenant General Keyes to his wife, May-August 1945. She was living at the Hotel Tayer, West Point. V-Mail used standardized stationery and microfilm processing to produce lighter, smaller airplane cargo, making space available for war supplies. V-Mail was used from mid-1942 to the end of 1945. Excerpts: "The capitulation of the Germans yesterday has us all on the humpjust as much so as while we were still fighting We are still awfully busy even if the fighting has ceased on this front VE Day!! Now if we can quickly wind up the Jap affair we can really relax We move to Salzburg this week Well here we are installed in the Archbishop's Palace sweetheart each room is large enough for a battalion almost flew to 3d Army to attend the homecoming ceremonies for Gen.
