  • Early SS Members Fencing Jacket & Trousers - Sold

    Early SS Members Fencing Jacket & Trousers – Sold

    Early SS Fencing Jacket and Trousers. Made by Max Richter, Curt Knoch in Berlin N.W7 Friedrichstrasse 122. There is really little known about these, there seems to be an accepted collector model of the Fencing Raute and it is mentioned in one book from the early 1990s. I have done a search into the firm and it was first registered in 1920s, with a direct link in the phonebook of 1926 in Berlin. An interesting piece and comes out of a large estate that was recently sold in the USA.

  • WWII German Soldbuch - Gefreiter Ingenhaag -  (Lived in Heerlen Holland!)Panzer Grenadier Regiment 128 - 23rd Panzer Division - Black Wounds Badge 26.05.1945!!!

    WWII German Soldbuch – Gefreiter Ingenhaag – (Lived in Heerlen Holland!)Panzer Grenadier Regiment 128 – 23rd Panzer Division – Black Wounds Badge 26.05.1945!!!

    Heinrich Ingenhaag  Born 17.6.1912 in Gladbach, worked in Coal Mine worker.  Married in Heerlen Holland in 1934, to Wilhelmena Books.  It seems they lived for some time together in Heerlen Holland. Mobilised in December of 1943, in Lingen (Ems) his Soldbuch was issued with:  Stamm Kp Grenadier Ersatz Batl (Mot) 156 – 1943  Sec Stamp: 1 Sept 1944  Promotion: 13.10.1944 – Panzer Grenadier E u A Batl 215 – Windhund  https://lexikon-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/InfErsBat/InfErsBat215-R.htm Frontline Units  He had an Einsatzurlaub – 8.9.1944 – 7.10.1944  This was likely due to actions in France? Deserves further investigations. Grenadier Ausbildungs Batl (mot) 156   Grenadier Regiment (mot) 1021  March 1944 – Arrived in Krakow, Poland at a hospital but was discharged in August of 1944 due to contacting Tuberculosis. Although he had a full list of equipment, including a Pistol and holster, Lamp, binoculars. Panzer Grenadier Regiment 128 – 23rd Panzer Division The 23rd Panzer Division was part of the German defence and retreat in the southern Ukraine, frequently being moved between crisis points. Between April and July 1944 it was a part of the 8th Army within the Army Group South Ukraine defending the area to the north of Jassy. After being sent to Poland in mid-1944, the division returned to the southern sector during the collapse of the German frontline in Romania. After the retreat into Hungary the division fought in defensive battles there. The majority of the division was trapped and destroyed in Székesfehérvár in March 1945. The remainder of the division surrendered to British forces in May 1945. Wounded  3.4.1945 – Arrived in a Hospital in Lienz. Awarded the Black Wounds Badge on the 26.5.1945 Could it have been he was awarded this for mine clearing? “Starting on 21 May, the division sent clean-up details out along the Mauterndorf- Tamsweg road to clean up the agricultural areas, roads and trails of vehicular wrecks and rubble. Panzer-Regiment 23 assumed responsibility for feeding and caring for a camp composed of civilians, mostly those who had been bombed out of their homes in Germany. The medical personnel set up a clearing station in Mauterndorf for the division. The divisional engineers were employed in road work outside of the internment area and went to the work places daily by vehicle.” He was assigned to Marsch Regiment Radstadt 1 (POW Unit) It seems he was then sent home in June 0f 1945.  Nice Soldbuch with the matching Wounds Badge in Black (complete with pin and hook) that never left the back pouch of the Soldbuch!

    WWII German Soldier Diary & Art – Uffz Lippold – Battle Maps Pestamo Murmansk – Norway / Finnland – Rare

    Here we have an incredible bit of history, hardly ever seen such great artwork done by German Soldiers. It was in fact forbidden to keep such a diary with maps as such information in the wrong hands could jeopardise operational security such as supply lines. 75 Pages of text and 18 Watercolours  The soldier was called Rolf Lippold and he was assigned to: schwere Flak-Abteilung 433 He kept the diary from June 1941 till April 1942. The pictures, Kirkens, Norway – 1941 – Lady walking a dog J-16 Russian Fighter Plane SB-2 – Martin Bomber Battle Map – Titoka – Between Murmansk and Pestamo – Nice battle map showing the action on the day.

October 1941 Sketch of Zeltbahn Set Up with oven Unknown Place Watercolour Letter two parents with 7 Sketches  – Rerik – Flak Shooting, Bunker etc Interestingly there is two letters that he sent to his friends, both of which were sent back to him as both were killed in action. I found both their names on the Graves Commision Website. There is so much research left to do, and really a nice project for the advanced German WWII Paper Collector.

    Interesting helmet, it has what seems to be a modified M33 helmet liner added in the field. The shell looks to even be slightly battle damaged. Liner clearly is stained black/blood. This was a bring back from WW2 to the USA.
