Still, he was in a position to know how things worked, although a detail like this could have been absorbed postwar, since Eichmann mostly dealt with Mueller and Heydrich/Kaltenbrunner, only rarely even meeting Himmler.<br /><br />A 'Fuehrer typewriter' document tends to be more compact than A4, double-spaced, in large type with a different typeface to typical documents. Presumably there were many such typewriters as needed within the Wehrmacht, SS, civilian agencies and Hitler's entourage/the Fuehrerhauptquartier. But below ministerial offices or major agencies likely to brief Hitler - eg departments of the General Staff such as the OKH/Organisationsabteilung - there would be no need for such typewriters. <br /><br />There are certainly also some documents typed in the same way for ministerial briefings or to provide large-print typescripts for lectures by some senior figures, which didn't automatically go to Hitler.Nicholas Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852758011968360596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-66638799181829966822019-11-10T07:09:30.017+00:002019-11-10T07:09:30.017+00:00The short version of the Korherr report is not wri...The short version of the Korherr report is not written in the Fuhrer typewriter? According to a paper by Peter Witte and Stephen Tyas: "A New Document on the Deportation and Murder of Jews during 'Einsatz Reinhardt' 1942" the shortened version of the Korherr report (6 or 7 pages, versus the original 16) was written with the Fuhrer typewriter, Eichmann stated it was written there at his office. You can see the large letters anyway.<br /><br />It is also reiterated here, which I presume is about the paper discussed above mecause it mentions Witte and Tyas: https://www.jta.org/2002/01/16/archive/unearthed-nazi-documents-shed-light-on-holocaust-deaths<br /><br />I can not find a better quality image than this of the shortened Korherr report: http://web.archive.org/web/20050211071739/http://ns-archiv.de/verfolgung/korherr/img2-01.shtml<br /><br />But now I am confused about "The Führer typewriter" because I initially thought it was just 1 typewriter, but now it appears rather to be a style of typewriter that I guess multiple people had. Himmler had one, and now Eichmann claims there was one at his office (according to Witte and Tyas) <br /><br />So document 1 was typed first in a regular typewriter, given to Himmler, then document 2 was typed in the/a Fuhrer typewriter by Himmler's assistant, but it had an error so it was again retyped (document 3) on the same typewriter as #2.

However, as the clerk made a typo (Byalistok instead of Bialystok), the report for Hitler was typed again (Document 3).<br /><br />I posted another doc written with the Führer typewriter as Figure 2, but there are plenty more of them - just not the Korherr report. The only known version from BArch NS 19/1770 was not typed on the Führer typewriter.Hans Metznerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746792258730274681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24597325.post-69460451032641264452019-11-09T04:19:02.079+00:002019-11-09T04:19:02.079+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Lolcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695160358248515746noreply@blogger.com
