The VOEST Alpine, one of Austria's strongest companies today, was known under the name 'Hermann Goering Werke' during the Nazi period. This certificate has been issued in 1939 in Linz. Soon due to annexion it became an important company. During World War II, Linz became a major industrial area with companies producing chemicals and steel for the Nazi regime. After the war Linz was divided into 2 sections, an American and a Russian controlled area.
The Mauthausen-Gusen camp complex, the last Nazi concentration camp to close, is located near Linz and during the WWII period the " Hermann Goering works " used many workers from labor camps, including prisoners from.
Only in the recent years this dark period has been paid more attention again as the history of Herman Goering Werke were part of the Austrian restitution program."

Senta Berger. Early Autograph CoA - col8359

Senta Berger. Early Autograph CoA - col8359: "Senta Berger autograph from the early 70s on a 5.8 x 4.1 in photo.
Signed with light green pen, slighly faint, fine condition.
The autograph comes with a Certificate of authenticity. Austrian actress Senta Berger was born while Vienna was under siege; reportedly, her family was bombed out four times before she was five.
Enrolled in ballet school, Senta was asked to leave at 14 because she had 'developed' too much. She studied drama at the Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, then began her German film career in 1957.
The publicity folks said that Senta won her first English-language role in The Secret Ways (1961) when star Richard Widmark spotted her riding a bicycle. Most American film fans first saw the sensuous Senta on, of all places, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, in that 1963 TV series' two-parter 'The Waltz King.'
Though an actress of more than average talent, Senta was regarded as just another European sex bomb by most Hollywood publicity flacks; her fine performance as an Israeli freedom fighter in Cast a Giant Shadow (1966) took second consideration to the well-circulated still photos from that film, in which she was seen in form-fitting shorts. By 1970, Senta Berger evidently gave up any hopes of being taken seriously, agreeing to appear in the caveman spoof When Women Had Tails. "
