🇮🇷 Adolf Hitler's gift to the King of Iran?

Hitler personally sent a signed portrait photograph of himself to Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Shah (King) of Iran and founder of the Pahlavi dynasty. This gesture was part of the warm diplomatic and economic relations between Germany and Iran during the mid-1930s, when Germany was Iran's largest trading partner and provided technical and industrial assistance for modernization efforts.

The text reads:

"His Imperial Majesty Reza Shah Pahlavi, Shahanshah of Iran – With the Best Wishes – Adolf Hitler."

The signed photo remains preserved and displayed in the Sahebgharanieh Palace within the Niavaran Palace Complex in Tehran to this day.
