Many German officials "disappeared" in Spain and Argentina in which their original identities were destroyed and changed so that they could no longer be tracked.  So, is and was the case with Willie Leube.  This is a rare and historic Third Reich and Pre WW II find and an original artifact.  With the purchase, a 1-page biography will be included as well as the documented source.  Estimated Market Value = 0.
