Wachtmeister Siegfried Freyer (11 February 1917 – 10 May 2014) was a German panzer officer in the 24. Panzer-Division and a recipient of the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes. He earned his Knight’s Cross on 23 July 1942 as Wachtmeister und Zugführer of 4. Kompanie/ Panzer-Regiment 24 for his extraordinary bravery during the heavy urban fighting at Voronezh.
Knight’s Cross Action
On 7 July 1942, during close-quarter fighting in the streets of Voronezh, Soviet armored units attempted to break through the encirclement ring of Freyer’s Kampfgruppe. Acting on his own initiative, Freyer led his platoon in a counterattack and personally destroyed 10 Soviet T-34 tanks in the span of just half an hour. His decisive intervention prevented a breakthrough, stabilized the frontline, and directly enabled the occupation of the city. For this exceptional act of bravery and leadership, he was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross.

Serving primarily with Sturzkampfgeschwader 77 (StG 77) and later Schlachtgeschwader 77 (SG 77), Fechner flew both the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in front-line service. His final mission took place on 8 May 1945, the very day of Germany’s capitulation.

Career Highlights

Frontline Service: Flew 726 combat missions, primarily in the close-support role against Soviet armor, artillery, and troop concentrations.
-
Aircraft: Began flying the Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber, later transitioning to the Fw 190 F-series ground-attack fighter-bomber.

End of the War: Carried out his last combat sortie on 8 May 1945, symbolically closing his wartime career on the final day of hostilities in Europe.
Collector’s Note

His record of over 700 sorties places him within the elite circle of decorated front-line veterans whose awards trace the escalation of their service. For collectors, Fechner’s name represents both the tenacity of the Luftwaffe’s close-support units and the high-risk, relentless combat endured by Stuka and Fw 190 pilots on the Eastern Front.

Background – 2. Panzer-Division in Normandy
The 2. Panzer-Division was deployed to France in 1944 as part of the German armored reserve. It was heavily engaged following the Allied landings in June, taking part in the Mortain counterattack (Operation Lüttich) in August, where German forces attempted to cut off the U.S. advance. After failing to break through, the division became trapped in the Falaise Pocket, where it suffered devastating losses. Survivors like Pemmer managed to escape westward, often through desperate rearguard actions, and regrouped in Germany later in 1944.
Collector’s Note:
A rare and researchable grouping directly tied to the 2. Panzer-Division’s combat in Normandy, including mention in veteran memoirs that confirm Pemmer’s frontline role. Groupings to named soldiers who survived the destruction of the Falaise Pocket are particularly desirable.

WWII Order of the Golden Kite 7th Class
€145,00Original Order of the Golden Kite, 7th Class – In Case of Issue (1937–1945)
A fine and original example of the Order of the Golden Kite 7th Class, complete with its period presentation case featuring silvered Japanese lettering to the lid.
Award Background:
The Order of the Golden Kite (金鵄勲章, Kinshi Kunshō) was a Japanese military order established in 1890 by Emperor Meiji, awarded exclusively for bravery, leadership, or command in battle. It was conferred upon both officers and enlisted men who distinguished themselves in service to the Empire. The decoration ranked just below the Order of the Rising Sun but carried enormous prestige as a purely military award.
The 7th Class was the lowest grade, typically awarded to enlisted soldiers and non-commissioned officers for acts of valor in combat. Even so, it symbolized personal courage and devotion to duty in the field, often during the campaigns of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45) and the Pacific War.
Award Details:
-
Type: Order of the Golden Kite, 7th Class
-
Period: Shōwa Era, 1937–1945
-
Material: Silvered and gilded construction with fine enamel work (stylized golden kite motif with crossed swords and rays).
-
Case: Original issue case with silvered kanji inscription to the lid.
-
Condition: As seen – light signs of handling and age, case intact.
Historical Context:
The Order of the Golden Kite was abolished in 1947 by the Allied occupation authorities, making surviving wartime-issued examples particularly sought after. Awards from the late 1930s to 1945 are strongly associated with the campaigns in China, Manchuria, and the Pacific theater.
Collector’s Note:
A desirable original and cased example of Japan’s prestigious wartime combat decoration, representing the valor of enlisted soldiers in the Imperial Japanese Army. The presence of the case with silvered characters enhances its value and display appeal.

WWII Imperial Japanese Army Visor Cap
€250,00A tailor-made officer’s visor cap crafted from high-quality khaki-colored wool, typical of the pre–WWII uniform style. This design, known as the Type 45 cap, carries the traditional features established in 1913, including the red wool piping and headband along with the low-peaked profile. These elements became standard for officer’s dress and remained in use through the end of the Second World War.
This particular example displays only slight wear and has been beautifully preserved, free from handling damage and without any moth damage. The visor does show age-related cracking, though stable with no risk of further deterioration. Inside, the cap retains its purple silk lining and ersatz leather sweatband, both fully intact.
Collector’s Note
This is a striking and well-preserved example of a Type 45 officer’s visor cap, representing the transitional pre-war and wartime styles. The quality tailoring, intact interior, and large display size make it not only a fine historical artifact but also a centerpiece for any advanced collection of WWII headgear. Among the most beautiful examples we have ever handled.

Historical Context
The Hinomaru Yosegaki was a deeply personal and traditional gift given to departing Japanese soldiers during WWII. Every name and message inscribed was meant to lend spiritual strength, encourage bravery, and remind the soldier of his duty. It was believed that the combined power of these blessings would protect the owner in combat.
For men far from home, unfolding the flag meant reconnecting with loved ones. In many cases, servicemen left behind locks of hair or fingernail clippings with their families, symbolic tokens in case they did not return.
Collector’s Note
The powerful dedication to national service, is a highly evocative artifact of Imperial Japan’s wartime culture. With its heavy wear and visible age, it represents a genuine battlefield souvenir and a piece of history that once accompanied a soldier into service.

€150,00An original award document for the Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichnung 3. Klasse (Long Service Award, 3rd Class) for 12 years of loyal service, presented to Unterfeldwebel Wilhelm Niekerken of Stab I./ Infanterie-Regiment 37.
The document bears the authentic signature of Alexander von Hartmann, later a highly decorated general and commander of the 71. Infanterie-Division.
Alexander von Hartmann – Notable Signatory
-
Born: 11 December 1890
-
Killed: 26 January 1943, Stalingrad
Von Hartmann rose through the ranks of the German Army from World War I service to command of the 71. Infanterie-Division during the bitter Battle of Stalingrad. He was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross on 8 October 1942 as a Generalleutnant in recognition of his leadership on the Eastern Front.
Facing encirclement at Stalingrad, von Hartmann rejected the idea of captivity, declaring:
“I intend to go to my infantry in the front line... I will seek death among their ranks. Captivity for a general is dishonourable.”
He was killed shortly after, shot in the head while firing his rifle alongside his infantry on 26 January 1943. Posthumously, he was promoted to General of the Infantry.
Collector’s Note
Award documents signed by Alexander von Hartmann are scarce and historically significant, as his dramatic end at Stalingrad and high decoration make him one of the more renowned Wehrmacht generals of WWII.
This example, issued for a long-service award to a non-commissioned officer, provides a fascinating contrast: a routine peacetime recognition, yet tied by signature to a commander remembered for his front-line sacrifice in one of history’s most brutal battles.

VWA Schwarz Award Doc – Panzer-Aufklärungs-Lehr-Abt. (1940 – Signed by Hans Cramer!)
€85,00Original Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (Wound Badge in Black) award document, issued to Leutnant Heinz von Rohdn, who was wounded in action on 8 June 1940 during the Western Campaign. At the time, he was serving with the 4. Kompanie / Panzer-Aufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung, one of the Wehrmacht’s elite armored reconnaissance training formations.
The document is personally signed by Oberstleutnant Hans Cramer, later a highly decorated Panzer commander and recipient of both the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross and the German Cross in Gold.
Hans Cramer – Notable Signatory
Hans Cramer (1896–1968) rose to prominence as one of Germany’s skilled armored leaders during WWII.
-
Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross – 27 June 1941, as Oberstleutnant and Kommandeur of Panzer-Regiment 8, 15. Panzer-Division.
-
German Cross in Gold – 5 March 1942, as Oberst and commander of Panzer-Regiment 8.
Ritterkreuz Award Action (27 June 1941):
“Oberstleutnant Cramer, commander of Panzer-Regiment 8, led his Regiment in a march from Tripoli to its operations area (a distance of over 1600 km) without any friendly fallouts, and the result was that it was immediately available for operations in an excellent state. After a risky night march he captured Sidi Azeiz and Capuzzo in the morning hours of 16.05.1941. On that same day he led his Regiment in an attack against heavy English tanks, and at the end of that month he significantly contributed to the capture of the Halfaya Pass. By doing this latter act he decisively contributed to the favourable development of the situation for all elements of Kampfgruppe von Herff and for the relief of the strain of our forces at Tobruk.”
(Recommendation submitted 17 June 1941; preliminary document issued 2 July 1941 to Afrikakorps.)
Cramer later rose to the rank of General der Panzertruppen and served as commander of Afrikakorps in 1942–43, before being captured in Tunisia and briefly held as a POW in England.
Unit History – Panzer-Aufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung
The Panzer-Aufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung was the German Army’s specialized armored reconnaissance demonstration and training unit, stationed at Krampnitz before the war. Formed from hand-picked instructors and students of the Panzertruppenschule, it represented the cutting edge of reconnaissance tactics.
During the 1940 Western Campaign, the Lehr-Abteilung was thrown into frontline service, testing new equipment and doctrines under combat conditions. Operating fast armored cars, motorcycles, and light tanks, they were tasked with deep penetration reconnaissance, probing enemy defenses, and securing bridges and key terrain. Their aggressive actions often brought them into sharp combat with Allied rearguards, where officers like Leutnant Heinz von Rohdn were exposed to heavy fire.
By combining a training role with active combat deployment, the unit produced many future reconnaissance leaders for Panzer divisions throughout the war.
Collector’s Note
This award document is not only a direct record of Heinz von Rohdn’s wounding in the French campaign of 1940, but also carries the rare wartime signature of Hans Cramer during his time as an Oberstleutnant. Cramer’s later career in North Africa and his Ritterkreuz and Deutsches Kreuz awards make this an especially desirable signed document.
The connection to the Panzer-Aufklärungs-Lehr-Abteilung, an elite and experimental armored recon unit, further enhances its historical significance, linking one soldier’s wound to the frontline testing ground of Germany’s armored warfare doctrine.

KVK2X Award Doc – 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (Signed by Augsberger!)
€0,01An authentic wartime award document issued to SS-Unterscharführer Wilhelm Barenscheer, who served with Waffen-Grenadier-Regiment 46 of the 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (1. Estnische). The document is dated 30 January 1945 and bears the bold signature of SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS Franz Augsberger, commander of the division.
Franz Augsberger – Division Commander
Franz Xaver Josef Maria Augsberger (10 October 1905 – 19 March 1945) was an Austrian-born SS officer who rose rapidly through the ranks of the Waffen-SS. Beginning his career in the early 1930s with the SA and NSDAP, he transferred to the SS in 1932 and underwent officer training at the SS-Führerschule Braunschweig.
-
Early career as platoon leader and instructor with SS-Standarte “Der Führer.”
-
Command appointments in the 6. SS-Gebirgs-Division “Nord,” earning the German Cross in Gold (30 May 1942).
-
In 1943, appointed commander of the 3. Estonian SS Volunteer Brigade, which in 1944 expanded into the 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (Estnische Nr. 1).
-
On 8 March 1945, awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, personally presented by Generalfeldmarschall Ferdinand Schörner.
-
Killed in action on 19 March 1945 during a bombing raid at Neustadt in Upper Silesia, only days after receiving the Knight’s Cross.
Significance
The 20. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (Estnische Nr. 1) was primarily formed of Estonian volunteers and conscripts. Under Augsberger’s command, the division fought in brutal rearguard and defensive actions on the Eastern Front, often against overwhelming Soviet forces. Documents signed by Augsberger are scarce due to his short tenure as a divisional commander and his death before the end of the war.
Collector’s Note
This document is a desirable piece of Waffen-SS history, connecting directly to the short-lived but historically significant Estonian SS division and its commander, Franz Augsberger. The combination of its late-war date (January 1945), division context, and signature of a Knight’s Cross holder killed in action just weeks later makes this a particularly compelling artifact for collectors of Waffen-SS or foreign volunteer divisions.

Unit History – Bayerisches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 17

-
Artois (1915): Heavy losses during the French offensives.
-
Flanders & Champagne: Defensive actions against major Allied attacks.

Collector’s Note
This original Militärpass documents the frontline career of Franz Josef Lanz, an infantryman who fought across multiple key battles of the Western Front and was wounded in the climactic fighting of 1918. His service in the Bavarian RIR 17, a regiment tied to some of the most desperate actions of the war, makes this a highly desirable researchable piece for collectors of WWI Bavarian regiments and frontline infantry service.
