Hi everybody! I have recently found a handwritten letter by Magda Goebbels for sale. The letter is dated from Nov. 19, 1937, while she was pregnant with Hedda.
Sadly, in the Auction House’s website, the letter is not fully translated. In the item’s description, the following is mentioned “She mentions her own daughter Hilde, whom she would murder a few years later, adding: ’…as soon as mine is out, I will send you a little [?]…’ Goebbels speaks of her own pregnancy, as she carried Hedwig Johanna…also murdered by her mother at the age of six.”
I find this information very interesting and valuable for 2 main reasons:
1. Apart from this, there are not known letters written by Magda while being pregnant.
2. Most first-hand information we have about the children comes from Joseph’s diaries. However, Magda’s writings on her children are very scarce.
The main problem I am having with the translation is Magda’s handwriting, which a don’t understand at all.
Here I leave the direct links to the images, so you can see them in full size:
