Information about Karl Donitz' Baton

Dear Sir,

My name is Aylson Doyle and I am a Brasilian collector of III-REICH items for a very long time.

I was reading an article at Ahoy-Mac´s Web Log about the Grössadmiral Dönitz Ceremonial Baton. I found very interesting the letter of Mr.Bill Hart, the son of PFC William A. Lilley.

I have very important information about this baton and I ask you,please, to tell Mr.Bill Hart to E-Mail me at heydrich77sd@yahoo.com.br ,so we can talk about this.Of course I will keep you updated to the new information I have since I know you are interested in Naval History.

I thank you very much!

Very Best Regards,
Aylson Doyle


TK,

I have just received this message from Aylson Doyle in Brazil. As you know from time to time I culled my E-Mail List ( I am no longer doing that now ) and I do not have  Bill Hart's address, so, I am unable to pass on this request.

But, if we publish this message on the page where we initially printed Bill's letter. we can but hope he sees this one and gets in touch with Aylson directly. Our URL is:

You will recall that the curator at the Shropshire Castle Museum  indicated that there was a prototype of Donitz's Baton made, as well as the original one they have, which was taken from the Admiral at the time of his capture.

The English Collector who now has the prototype has compared his copy with the Museum held original, and he was approached by the Museum asking him to get in touch with me, but he never did.

Thank you Terry.

Mac.
