These four silver spoons were taken from the Bier
Garten in Munich, which was located in the Underground. The
Nazis were preparing for a huge, formal dinner there when the 42nd
Rainbow Division, 232 Inf. Regiment entered Munich and captured
the city. This
was about 4-5 days before the war officially ended. (This
information is from a sergeant who served with my father in this
same division.) This silverware collection was
owned by Adolf Hitler, and who knows, may have even been used by
him. Hitler also designed these pieces.
