Origin
Two editions of the globe were commissioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, though the actual number of globes produced will never be verified as the factory that manufactured the globe, the Columbus factory, was destroyed in 1943 along with its archives.
The globe was described as very large and very costly, with a wood base supporting it; however, it does not appear in any official photographs of Hitler.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Our theism is the purification of the human mind. Man can paint, or make, or think nothing but man. He believes that the great material elements had their origin from his thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
