Original Stunning Waffenrock (with history!) which comes together with an award document and name tag inside, written on it "Sudek, 4.4.36" confirming it belonged to Oberwachtmeister Karl Sudek (as according to the award document), who in 1943 - according to the award document for the Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen (!) - belonged to the 2. Batterie/ Artillerie-Regiment 115 of the 46. Infanterie-Division fighting in the Krim.
However, my research had a sad ending as I learned that a few months after earning his Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen as an Artillery man with the Infantry (!) (the award document was signed by one of the Infantry regiments of the Division)... he was Killed in Action on August 22, 1943westwards of Tichotzky (Izium, Kharkiv) in Ukraine at the age of 29. His remains are still not transferred to a war cemetery thus still laying in his fieldgrave.
During his service, he earned the: Iron Cross 2nd Class, Infantry Assault Badge, Krim shield, War Merit Cross 2nd class with Swords, Winter War Medal, Austrian Annexation medal, Sudetenland medal.

Original Stunning Kriegsmarine Paradejacke which belonged to Obermaschinenmaat Hermann Kiefer (O1410T/36). He was born on 17.01.1916 and met his fate when the Hilfskreuzer Michel was sunk on October 17, 1943 near Japan when it was torpedo'd by a US Submarine! During his service, Kiefer earned the Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen, EK2 and EK1. I've attached (not included in the sale) a photo of the uniform while in wear by Kiefer on his wedding day (?) A flower was in the pocket (also seen on the photo) and can be added to the collar again.
