Hüttich was a Berlier, living in Berlin Charlottenburg, he was. a show maker by proffesion before he was accepted into the Elite Wach Batl. They served as guards for Görings Facilities in Berlin, as well as air protection for Hitlers Bunker and Train in Berlin. He was there from 1941 and moved through the various branches during the war. Very desirable unit. Unit History The Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 1. Hermann Göring (1st Paratroop Panzer Division Hermann Göring – abbreviated Fallschirm-Panzer-Div 1 HG) was a German Luftwaffe armoured division. The HG saw action in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and on the Eastern front. The division was the creation of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring and increased in size throughout the war from an Abteilung (battalion) to a Panzer corps. In 1935, Göring was promoted to command of the Luftwaffe. Unwilling to leave his favourite unit behind, he ordered it transferred to the Luftwaffe, renaming the unit Regiment General Göring in September 1935. The unit was now sent for re-training and re-equipping as a Luftwaffe unit. During this period, the I.Jäger-Bataillon and 15. Pionier-Kompanie were sent to Döberitz for parachute training. These units were separated from the regiment in March 1938 and redesignated I./ Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1, the first of the Fallschirmjäger (airborne) units. By early 1936, the regiment was again ready for action. By this time, all organised resistance to the NSDAP had either been crushed or left Germany, and so the regiment was put to work as a personal bodyguard for Göring and providing flak protection for Hitler’s Headquarters. When Germany annexed Austria in the Anschluss of March 1938, the regiment was one of the first units to cross the border. Similarly, during the invasion of the Sudetenland in October 1938 and the occupation of Prague in March 1939, the General Göring was among the first units in the German occupation force. During the invasion of Poland, only a small part of the regiment was involved in the fighting. The majority of the unit was to stay in Berlin to continue their duties providing flak protection and guards for Göring and the NSDAP leadership. During the invasions of Denmark and Norway, elements of the regiment (a guard battalion, a motorcycle company and a flak component) took part in the campaign and acquitted themselves well. The main body of the regiment had been moved west to the German-Dutch border using the cover designations FlaK-Regiment 101 and FlaK-Regiment 103. During Fall Gelb, this force took part in the invasion of the Netherlands and Belgium. The imposing fortress of Eben Emael was captured and neutralised by Fallschirmjäger, many of whom had previously served in the General Göring. After the capitulation of the Netherlands, the regiment was broken up into several small Kampfgruppen and these were attached to the Panzer divisions spearheading the advance. The regiment again acquitted itself well, especially the flak troops, who often operated in an anti-armour capacity. In an engagement at Mormal Wood, heavy 8.8 cm FlaK 18s engaged French tanks at ranges of only a few yards. During this battle, the regiment gained a reputation for steadfastness under fire.[citation needed] After the surrender of France, the regiment was stationed on the Channel coast, before being moved back to Paris to provide flak protection for the city. Late in 1940, the regiment was moved back to Berlin to resume its former duties as honour guards and flak protection. Barbarossa – North Africa In early 1941, the regiment was reorganized as a motorized regiment. During this time, it was redesignated Regiment (mot) Hermann Göring, as Göring had been promoted to Reichsmarschall. After this restructuring, the regiment was moved east to take part in the invasion of the Soviet Union. When Benito Mussolini’s disastrous invasion of Greece caused the delay of Barbarossa and the German invasion of the Balkans and Greece, the regiment was stationed in the Romanian oilfields near Ploieşti to provide flak protection. Barbarossa got underway on 22 June 1941, and during the campaign, the regiment was attached to the 11.Panzer-Division, a part of Army Group South. The regiment saw action around the areas of Radziechówdisambiguation needed, Kiev and Brjansk, destroying many Soviet tanks with their 8.8 cm flak guns.[citation needed] At the end of 1941, the regiment was returned to Germany for rest and refit, having suffered moderate casualties in the campaign. The Schützen-Bataillon Hermann Göring remained at the front until May 1942. In July 1942 the regiment was upgraded to brigade status and redesignated Brigade Hermann Göring. In October 1942, while the brigade was still being restructured, it was decided to further upgrade the status of the Hermann Göring to a full division. The division would be organized along the lines of a Heer Panzer division. Göring arranged for veteran Heer panzer crewmen to be transferred to his division, and brought the mechanized infantry component up to strength with the addition of the 5. Fallschirmjäger-Regiment. While the division was in formation, the Second Battle of El Alamein had forced Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps to retreat from the Egyptian-Libyan border back towards Tunisia. Still not fully formed, the Hermann Göring, under the banner of Kampfgruppe Schmid, under the command of Generalmajor Joseph Schmid, was sent to Tunisia piecemeal in an attempt to bolster Rommel’s force. KG Schmid surrendered along with the rest of Panzer Army Africa. With this action, the division lost all of its combat units and many of its command units. Göring immediately ordered the division to be reformed. Panzer Division – Sicily – Italy Several units of the Hermann Göring Division which had been completing training or awaiting transfer to Tunisia were to be used for the basis for a reformed Division. The division was to be designated Panzer-Division Hermann Göring. By mid-June, the new division was ready for combat, and was shipped to Sicily to defend against the expected Allied invasion. When the Allied invasion of Sicily was launched on 10 July 1943, Hermann Göring was in place to defend the island. The division was engaged at the…

In Soldbuch issued in 1939, to Stratmann, born in 1918 in Oberhausen, Germany. Stratmann would serve in the following units: 11.1939 – 2.1942 – II / Kampfgeschwarder 77 (6. Staffel) According to further research: Stratmann was injured in a Do 17 Z – whilst on a combat mission at Eben Emael Fortifications. On the 10.05.1940. In mid-July 1940 all three groups returned to Germany to convert to the Junkers Ju 88. When III./KG 77 returned to France in late August (it was still based at Regensburg on 26 August) it had 35 Ju 88s operational. These groups suffered losses of 9 Ju 88s on a single mission against Gravesend on 18 September, one of the highest losses of any gruppe in a single mission.[1] I./KG 77 in conjunction with II. and III. gruppe supported operations during the Blitz. On 27 September I./KG 77 lost six J 88s when raiding London, while II./KG 77 lost another six on the same night.During 1941 the Geschwader also took part in the Battle of the Atlantic. It attempted to support the German battleship Bismarck during her Atlantic operation during 26–28 May 1941. However, the unit was unable to intervene before she sank. The Geschwader sank the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Mashona on 28 May 1941, as the British forces withdrew to port. 2.1942 – 5.1943 – Transport vII Flieger Korps 06.1943 – Frontflieger Sammelgruppe – Lippstadt/Westfahlen. 10.1943 – Erprobungstelle der Luftwaffe Udetfeld – Technische Kompanie An interesting group testing Luftwaffe equipment. 10.1944 – Frontflieger Sammelgruppe Quedlinburg 2.3.1945 – Flugzeugführerschule A10 – Warnemünde / Schülerkompanie Medals / Qualifications 1.

Comments: It seems he was victim of his own trade, he was granted leave in November 1944, his home was hit by an allied bombing raid. What is really nice about this Soldbuch is the extras inside it, In the front of the Soldbuch is a very nice entry.

An untouched KM Officers Dagger, this was a bring back to the USA after WW2. Seen some wear and small damage on the handle, the blade could be cleaned nicely. These are not so easy to get when they are not parts daggers. Probably worth to clean the blade, but we will leave this to a new owner. Price is shipped tracked worldwide.  

The Telefunken Torn.E.b /24b-305 (Spez 976 Bs) receiver was the end product of a series of Telefunken ‘portable’ receivers developed mainly for field use from the late 1920s onwards. They were intended for use both as a general purpose field receiver and as an accompanying receiver for a number of transmitters of the type normally found installed in signals trucks. The receiver frequency coverage is from 100kHz to 6670kHz. The earliest version was designed by Telefunken in the late 1920s as Spez 276 Bs and this was revamped in the early 1930s as Tornister Empfanger (portable receiver) Spez 445 Bs. By later standards it could be described as clumsy. Not unlike the National HRO, it employed plug-in coil units (three of them marked Kurz, Mittel and Lang) to cover the frequency range (see cover photo). The circuit employed four triode valves type RE 074 powered from a 90 volt battery and a 4.8 volt alkaline accumulator (type NC10). Radio, batteries and accessories were all in one case – quite a load for the signalman! With the development of the military general purpose two volt filament pentode valve (RV2 P800) the set was redesigned and split into two cases, one for the radio and one for the batteries and accessories. If necessary, the two cases could be clipped together. The plug-in coil system was dispensed with and replaced by an integral rotating coil turret. Trials with this equipment pointed to a need for some ergonomic improvements and some simplification of controls and other slight changes resulted in a more ‘user friendly’ front panel. The rectangular power supply plug and socket were replaced by a circular five pin connector which became standard for much field equipment. Thus, in 1936/37 the Telefunken Torn.E.b Spez 976 Bs was accepted for Wehrmacht use as the Torn.E.b/24b305 ( also known outside Germany as the AE95).   Comments: This is an early model, with the original morse code handset, with Waffenamt stamps.   Price includes shipping in the USA – if you are in Europe let us know via email which shipping method you would like due to weight.
