Description:
As is shown under the space bar at the typewriter's front, this machine was owned by the KRIEGMARINE, ruled by the Great Admiral Karl Dönitz until the 2WW end.
So it is a little piece of an infamous period that humanity should never forget nor forgive (luckily the typewriter itself doesn't show any other symbol of its III Reich history).
Complete and operative, I've found it in Buenos Aires, owned by an antiquarian, who told me he bought it from "a very old german guy several years ago".
