Knight’s Cross: “On 29.07.1944 Schrijnen was serving as the crew of a Pak 40 in the middle of a major Soviet tank/infantry attack. His position was hit by a heavy artillery barrage, with several rounds impacting just 10 metres behind the gun. Schrijnen was hit by several shell splinters, but the four other crewman all became casualties. Under the weight of the Soviet attack the order was given to withdraw. Schrijnen however disobeyed the order and remained behind to cover his comrades. Despite being wounded, exhausted and vastly outnumbered he was still able to knock out 4 T-34s and 3 IS-2s before his gun was destroyed. Later, counterattacking German forces found Schrijnen unconscious on the battlefield. He would receive the Knight’s Cross for his actions this day as well as for prior successes as an anti-tank gunner.”

Karl Nicolussi-Leck – SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 “Wiking”

€55,00

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Karl Nicolussi-Leck. SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Nicolussi-Leck earned the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on April 9, 1944 as SS-Obersturmführer und Chef of the 8. Kompanie/ SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 of the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking”. Large size: 18,7×18,2cm.

Karl Nicolussi-Leck was the commander of a Panther company in the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking” during its efforts to relieve the trapped garrison at Kovel in March 1944. On the 27th of that month, with the German relief efforts still in progress, Nicolussi-Leck received an order to halt all offensive actions. By this point he was in radio conduct with the garrison, and felt that its relief was of the utmost importance. He thus told his radio operator to send a reply stating that he (Nicolussi-Leck) could not be found, and with that continued the push to the town. Three days later, following difficult fighting, he was able to reach the trapped garrison with seven tanks on the early morning of the 30th. By doing so he was able to substantially reinforce the garrison’s defences, and he remained with them until Kovel was finally relieved for good. His recommendation also says that he destroyed 17 tanks in the process, although it is possible this number is for the whole company. Either way, Nicolussi-Leck’s actions were judged to be worthy of the Knight’s Cross, and he received this award shortly afterwards. (Source: Traces of War)

Collector’s Note

Herbert Ihlefeld stands among the great names of Luftwaffe fighter history, his career spanning the early victories of 1940 through the brutal campaigns of the East. With over 120 aerial victories and the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern, his autograph remains a highly desirable piece for collectors of Luftwaffe aces and decorated fighter leaders.

Photo Grouping – U-Boat Crewman (U-48 – Most succesful U-Boat of WWII!)

€350,00

Remarkable and diverse original photograph collection belonging to a Kriegsmarine U-Boat crew member, possibly of the famed U-48, the most successful German submarine of the Second World War. The set comprises 14 period photographs, showing the sailor’s career progression, service aboard a U-Boat, and several earlier images from his Imperial German Navy (WWI) service.

The highlight of the grouping are multiple photographs depicting U-Boat conning tower artwork and crew scenes on deck, including a clearly visible tower painting matching that of U-48 — the “laughing swordfish” motif associated with this legendary vessel. Several photos show officers and enlisted men posing beside the decorated U-Boat hull, along with portraits both in uniform and casual settings.

The remaining images document a rich personal and military history, featuring:

  • Crew group portraits taken both at sea and on land

  • Tower close-ups and harbor scenes, showing Kriegsmarine flags and deck fittings

  • Individual studio portraits in U-Boat dress uniforms, with badges and insignia visible

  • Earlier WWI-era naval photos, likely of the same man during his first period of service

Historical Context:
U-48 was commissioned in 1939 and became the most successful submarine of the Second World War, credited with sinking over 50 Allied ships (approximately 306,000 tons) before being scuttled in 1945. The presence of tower art and uniform details consistent with early-war Kriegsmarine U-Boat units strongly suggests these images relate to personnel of this elite vessel or one within its flotilla.

Collector’s Note:
Authentic U-Boat photographs — particularly those showing tower art — are exceptionally rare and highly sought after among Kriegsmarine collectors. This set offers not only identifiable imagery from an early and highly successful U-Boat but also a personalized service record across both World Wars, adding significant historical depth.
The prints are period originals on wartime photographic paper, several with studio stamps or annotations on reverse.
