FRITZ DARGES
(1913 - 2009) Lieutenant Colonel in the Waffen-SS, personal adjutant to Adolf Hitler, awarded the Knight's Cross. On July 18, 1944, during a strategy conference in the Wolfsschanze, a fly began buzzing around the room, allegedly landing on Hitler's shoulder and on the surface of a map several times. Irritated, Hitler ordered Darges to dispatch the nuisance. Darges suggested that, as it was an airborne pest, the job should go to the Luftwaffe adjutant. Enraged, Hitler dismissed Darges on the spot and had him banished to the Eastern Front. Important partly-printed D.S. signed twice, 4pp. 4to., Gotteburg, May 26, 1933, his evaluation by the SS for acceptance. Darges himself completed the first page, which also bears his photo portrait in civilian garb. He notes his date and place of birth, particulars on his parents, education, etc. There follows the result of his SS medical, with another section devoted to "Race Markers", or characteristics which would determine his racial background. The final page is signed by three unidentified SS doctors and ofiicers. File holes, else fine. Darges volunteered to join the SS in April 1933. By 1934 he had been selected to become an officer and attended the SS-Junkerschule at Bad Tolz.
