Adolf Hitler Formal Dinnerware- Deutscher Hof (Nymphenburg) # 1927
Adolf Hitler loved Meissen "Red Dragon" and most photos show him
using it and there are not too many legitimate pieces used by him that
are original or attributable. The firm of Nymphenburg did however
manufacture the dinnerware for Hitler's train and what must have been

pattern is
the same with the exception of the Deutsches Reichsbahn DR initials and I
think its the first I have had. Featured in Tom Johnson's hardcover
"German War Booty" 304-305 the pattern is shown with accompanying

the Deutscher Hof and the Reichsbahn. The lack of the DR and the letters
dating from 1977 and 1997 respectively have me guessing the Deutscher
Hof as more likely.
