WWII German Photos – Sepp Dietrich & von Rundstedt, Likely 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend” Inspection 1944
€250,00Original set of 4x Second World War German photographs depicting senior Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS leadership, including identifiable figures such as Sepp Dietrich and Gerd von Rundstedt, accompanied by several other high-ranking officers.
The photographs appear to have been taken during an inspection or field visit, likely connected to the 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend” in 1944. The images show groups of officers in discussion, observation of troops, and what appears to be a demonstration or briefing scenario in the field. One photograph notably captures a group of senior officers observing soldiers lying on the ground, possibly during a training or combat demonstration.
The photographs are original period prints with typical deckled edges, consistent with wartime production. They remain in good overall condition, showing expected age-related wear such as slight softness in focus, minor handling marks, and light tonal variation.
A historically interesting grouping of original photographs capturing high-ranking German military leadership in the field during the later stages of the war, offering strong visual and research appeal.

British WWII Mounted Medal Group, 91st Field Royal Artillery (Monte Cassino & Rhine Crossing)
€325,00Authentic British Second World War mounted medal group of six, comprising the 1939–1945 Star, Atlantic Star, Italy Star, France and Germany Star, Defence Medal, and War Medal 1939–1945, mounted as worn on the original bar and accompanied by the Soldier’s Release Book.
The group is attributed to Battery Quartermaster Sergeant Hall, who served with the 91st Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, a Territorial Army unit associated with the 5th Infantry Division. The regiment saw extensive active service throughout the war, providing vital artillery support across multiple major theatres.
The medals include:
- 1939–1945 Star – for early operational service
- Atlantic Star – for service connected to the Battle of the Atlantic
- Italy Star – for service in the Italian Campaign, including the fighting at Battle of Monte Cassino
- France and Germany Star – for service in North-West Europe
- Defence Medal – for non-operational service
- War Medal 1939–1945 – for full-time wartime service
The 91st Field Regiment was mobilised in 1939 and initially deployed to France with the British Expeditionary Force. Following evacuation and reorganisation, it served in the North African campaign before taking part in the Allied advance through Italy, including operations around Monte Cassino. As a field artillery regiment equipped with 25-pounder guns, it played a key role in supporting infantry assaults and engaging enemy positions.
In the later stages of the war, the regiment was deployed to North-West Europe. By March 1945, it was operating under XXX Corps and took part in the Rhine crossing during the final Allied advance into Germany.
The group therefore reflects a highly experienced artillery NCO with confirmed service in:
- North Africa
- Italy (including Monte Cassino)
- North-West Europe (Belgium and Germany)
The medals are mounted as worn on their original bar and display an even, attractive patina. The ribbons show light age-related wear consistent with period use.
Accompanied by the original Soldier’s Release Book, offering strong research potential and clear attribution, significantly enhancing collectibility.

Bombardier Wardle (service number 2127923) served with the 4th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery, a mobile artillery unit supporting armoured and infantry formations during the Allied campaign in North-West Europe. He was killed in action on 26 October 1944 during the fighting in the Netherlands, a period associated with intense operations following the advance from Normandy and the battles to secure key approaches into Germany.
He is buried at Bergen op Zoom War Cemetery, where many casualties from the autumn 1944 operations in Holland are commemorated.

The group is fully attributable, with the service book confirming Clarke’s personal details, enlistment, trade, and wartime service. He enlisted on 6 August 1942 and was employed as an engine driver, having previously worked as an LMS fireman (locomotive), indicating specialist railway or transport-related skills.
The award of the France and Germany Star confirms operational service in North-West Europe. The service book records his deployment to Normandy on 17 August 1944, placing him in the theatre shortly after the Allied breakout from the Normandy beachhead and during the rapid advance across France.
As a member of the Royal Engineers, Clarke would have been engaged in essential logistical and infrastructure duties, likely including railway operation, transport coordination, and the repair or construction of key supply routes supporting front-line forces. Such roles were critical to maintaining the momentum of Allied operations following the Normandy landings.
The medals are mounted together and display a natural patina, with ribbons showing light age-related wear consistent with period use. The accompanying service book is well preserved and provides valuable insight into the soldier’s background and wartime role.
A solid and fully attributable Royal Engineers group with clear Normandy service and good research potential.

Collector’s Note
Nikolaus von Falkenhorst was one of the most significant German commanders of the Norwegian campaign, directly tied to Hitler’s strategic success in Scandinavia. His Knight’s Cross award citation was widely publicized as a propaganda tool. Original autographs of Falkenhorst on wartime postcards are sought-after, especially given his role as Oberbefehlshaber Norwegen and his later postwar trial and imprisonment.
Outstanding DKiG Soldbuch & Wehrpass Grouping to Oberst Wentscher, 13. Panzer-Division
€1.495,00An exceptional and historically significant Soldbuch and Wehrpass grouping to Oberst Gerhard Wentscher, an early recipient of the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold, awarded on 1 December 1941 for his service as commander of (Panzer-)Artillerie-Regiment 13, 13. Panzer-Division.
Wentscher was a career officer with an extensive and well-documented military career spanning both World Wars. Promoted to Leutnant in 1915, he earned four awards during the First World War, including the Iron Cross 1st Class. He joined the Wehrmacht as a Hauptmann in 1934, became Kompaniechef in Artillerie-Regiment 13 in 1936, and following promotion to Major, served as Adjutant of the 13. Infanterie-Division from 1938.
In this role he participated in the Polish Campaign, earning the Spange zum EK II, and in the Western Campaign, where he was awarded the Spange zum EK I. After the conversion of the 13. Infanterie-Division into the 13. Panzer-Division, Wentscher served on the Eastern Front as Oberstleutnant and commander of Artillerie-Regiment 13. He was severely wounded in the leg on 13 October 1941, leading to his early award of the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on 1 December 1941. Declared unfit for further front-line service, he completed the war as an Oberst in the Oberkommando des Heeres.
Over approximately 18 years of service, Wentscher was entitled to an impressive twelve awards, including:
-
Iron Cross II Class
-
Iron Cross I Class
-
Wound Badge in Black
-
Honour Cross for Front Fighters
-
Long Service Award IV Class
-
Spange zum EK II
-
Sudetenland Medal
-
Spange zum EK I
-
Officer’s Cross of the Romanian Crown
-
Wound Badge in Silver
-
General Assault Badge
-
Deutsches Kreuz in Gold
The Soldbuch is a standout centerpiece, featuring an extraordinary large portrait photograph—quite possibly one of the finest Soldbuch photos extant. Wentscher is depicted holding a telephone, an action entirely against regulations for Soldbuch photographs, and is wearing his Deutsches Kreuz in Gold along with other decorations. The Soldbuch was opened in August 1939 and signed by Generalleutnant Moritz von Faber du Faur, divisional commander. It is complete and in very good condition.
The Wehrpass, opened in January 1941, also contains a military portrait photo showing Wentscher wearing his WWI EK I. It is complete, clean, and in excellent condition, meticulously listing his awards, units, campaigns, and promotions.
Additionally included in this outstanding grouping:
-
Inländer-Jahresjagdschein (1940) with military portrait photograph
-
Driving license, issued in Gross-Born, 1938
-
A small private photograph
This is a unique, museum-quality grouping to a documented Panzer Oberst and early DKiG recipient. An unparalleled opportunity to acquire a true centerpiece for any advanced collection. The Soldbuch in particular offers exceptional visual and historical impact when displayed.
