Juli 1944” in Schwarz and was a member of the Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler before he became Adolf Hitler’s personal adjutant. Condition as seen. Postcardsize.
With the end of Nazi Germany imminent, Günsche was tasked by Hitler on 30 April 1945 with ensuring the cremation of his body after his death. That afternoon, he stood guard outside the room in the Führerbunker where Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide. After waiting a short time, Hitler’s valet, Heinz Linge, opened the study door with Martin Bormann at his side. The two men entered the study with Günsche right behind them. Günsche then left the study and announced that Hitler was dead to a group in the briefing room, which included Joseph Goebbels, General Hans Krebs, and General Wilhelm Burgdorf. Günsche had the table and chairs in the study moved out of the way and blankets were laid out on the floor. Hitler and Braun’s lifeless bodies were then wrapped in blankets. In accordance with Hitler’s prior written and verbal instructions, his and Braun’s bodies were carried up the stairs and through the bunker’s emergency exit to the garden behind the Reich Chancellery to be burned. Having ensured that the corpses were burnt using petrol supplied by Hitler’s chauffeur Erich Kempka, Günsche later left the Führerbunker after midnight on 1 May. On 2 May 1945, Günsche was taken prisoner by Soviet Red Army troops that were encircling the city and flown to Moscow for sharp interrogation by the NKVD.

Panzerkampfabzeichen II. Stufe Award Doc: ALFRED RUBBEL (!) schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503 (Tiger, King Tiger!)
€0,01An exceptional and historically significant original Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber, II. Stufe, awarded to Fahnenjunker-Feldwebel Alfred Rubbel, a documented and highly regarded tank commander of the 1. Kompanie / schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503.
This outstanding set is accompanied by the original award recommendation document (Antrag für Verleihung), which explicitly records Rubbel’s role as “Kommandant Panzer VI (Tiger)”. Notably, the reverse of the document details the operational days credited toward the award, offering valuable insight into his frontline service and combat record.
Alfred Rubbel (b. 1921, East Prussia) volunteered for the Panzertruppe in 1940 and served continuously on the Eastern Front from 1941 to 1945. His service included assignments with Panzer Regiments 29 and 4, culminating in his role within the elite schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503, operating both the Tiger I and later the Tiger II (King Tiger). He ultimately attained the rank of reserve lieutenant within the battalion staff.
Following the war, Rubbel transitioned to civilian agricultural work (1946–1956), before resuming military service in the Bundeswehr (1956–1978), where he held various staff, troop command, and instructional roles within armored units, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. He remained active in military technology fields until 1992.
During the war, Rubbel is credited with approximately 60 tank victories, placing him among the notable German Panzer commanders of the period. He is further associated with a particularly remarkable engagement near Wildendürnbach (Austrian-Czech border), where he reportedly destroyed a T-34 using an indirect firing method—an unusual and well-documented action referenced in “Memories of the Tiger Division 503.”
Highlights:
-
Original Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber, 2nd Class
-
Named and documented to Alfred Rubbel
-
Includes original award recommendation (Antrag)
-
Clear mention of Tiger tank command role
-
Detailed service-day record on reverse

Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class (Serial Numbered & Researched!)
€250,00Original Soviet Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class. This serial number was researched and it belonged to Major KUZNETSOV PETR FILIPPOVICH, Chief editor of the 64 rifle division newspaper “Vpered za Rodinu” (“Forward, for Motherland!”). Comes with its original backplate and the red enamel is completely intact as well as the golden hammer & sic. Condition as seen.
Since the beginning of the offensive on 23 June 1944, the chief editor of the
newspaper “Forward, for Motherland!” comrade KUZNETSOV ensured proper and
timely issue of the newspaper and special leaflets. This was achieved in the
complication of being constantly on the move during the offensive. As the result of
this, the soldiers and the officers were properly informed on the main evens on the
fronts, on the division combat events, and on the Allied combat operations. The
division newspaper under the lead of comrade KUZNETSOV has been playing an
important role in raising the troops combat moral, popularisation of the heroic
feats, and education the troops in being brave soldiers. Overcoming tremendous
difficulties, KUZNETSOV managed to maintain tight contact with the military
correspondents. He personally ventured out and interviewed the troops. The
division newspaper is an important social information channel, which mobilises
the troops and illuminates on the most relevant and important topics, and
assisted the combat successes.
Comrade KUZNETZOV deserves state award – order “PATRIOTIC WAR II CLASS”.

Walter Gerlach (1896–1964)
Walter Gerlach (born 25 August 1896 in Gusow; died 19 April 1964 in Haiger) was a German SS officer and concentration camp functionary during the Nazi period.
After serving as a soldier in the First World War, Gerlach worked in his family’s wood products business, which went bankrupt in 1930. That same year he joined the NSDAP (membership no. 307,120) and in 1931 entered the SS (no. 14,567). He rose quickly, becoming an SS leader in the 27th SS-Standarte in 1932.
From August to November 1934, Gerlach directed the Columbiahaus prison in Berlin, which later became one of the first concentration camps. He then served briefly as camp commandant of KZ Sachsenburg (December 1934 – April 1935) before moving to an adjutant role in Dachau under commandant Heinrich Deubel.
Despite being convicted in 1935 for involvement in a brawl, Gerlach remained in the SS, later leading SS-Abschnitt VII in Königsberg and working from 1942 in positions tied to the Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of Germandom. In 1944 he became chief of staff to the Higher SS and Police Leader Günther Pancke in occupied Denmark.
After Germany’s defeat, Gerlach was arrested in May 1945 and interned until 1948. In November 1947 he was called as a witness in the Nuremberg Trials. He lived in West Germany after the war and died in 1964.
