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.

€0,01

In this time he made the independent decision to rally 300 Heer Grenadiers and launch a breakout attempt on the night of the 29./30.07.1944. Advancing via St. Denis he personally destroyed 13 tanks, 4 anti-tank guns, 8 halftracks and 10 trucks over a series of hard yet successful engagements. Ultimately he managed to make it back to friendly lines while also clearing open the way to freedom for many other units including a self-propelled Flak-Batterie (with five 3.7 cm guns), 2 Grille SPGs, 3 Sturmgeschützen and 29 trucks.”

RARE KIA Wehrpass – Panzer-Kompanie 319 (Funklenk) (KIA Liege, Belgium 1944!)

€425,00

Original Wehrpass of a Schütze Paul Treuse (born 1926), who during the war served with the Panzer-Kompanie 319 (Funklenk) and was only there 2 weeks before he was Killed in Action on September 8, 1944 in Lüttich (Liege/Luik), Belgium. He’s buried inAachen, Waldfriedhof: Block 21d Grab 60.

The Panzer-Kompanie 319 (Funklenk) is rare and scarce unit to find!

  • The unit named Panzer-Kompanie (Funklenk) 319 was a Funklenk (radio-control / remote-control) tank company — i.e., a specialist unit whose role was to operate radio-steered control tanks and remote demolition vehicles. Funklenk companies typically controlled vehicles such as the heavy Borgward IV demolition carrier and the smaller tracked “Goliath” charge, using armored control tanks alongside them.

What “Funklenk” companies were and what they were equipped with

  • Role: Funklenk (Funklenkpanzer / Panzer-Kompanie (Fkl)) units were experimental/specialist formations created to operate radio-steered demolition vehicles and remote demolition charges at the front line. Control tanks (often armoured assault tanks or heavy tanks if available) carried the radio equipment and a crew that remotely drove demolition carriers into close targets, then withdrew them or detonated them.

  • Typical remote demolition vehicles:

    • Borgward IV (B IV) — a large, tracked, remote-controlled demolition carrier capable of carrying a heavy explosive load; commonly paired with control tanks from Funklenk companies.

    • Goliath (Sd.Kfz. 302 / 303) — a much smaller tracked remote-control mine used earlier and in many demolition detachments (often used alongside Borgward vehicles or where smaller charges sufficed).

  • Typical control vehicles: depending on availability Funklenk control vehicles could be:

    • StuG III / StuG variants (commonly used as control vehicles in several Funklenk companies),

    • Panzer IV or even Tiger tanks in some Funklenk companies where heavy radio equipment and range were required — historical examples exist of Funklenk companies equipped or at least provided with Tigers in 1944 (this varied by company and time).

Imperial German WWI Militärpaß – Bayerisches-Reserve-Infanterie-Rgt. 17 (WIA 1918 in France, Earned Prussian EK2)

€45,00

Offered is an original Imperial German Militärpaß issued to Franz Josef Lang, a Bavarian infantryman with long pre-war service, extensive frontline combat on the Western Front, and a confirmed Iron Cross 2nd Class award.

Franz Josef Lang was born on 1 May 1881 in Ranzberg and entered the Imperial German Army on 24 October 1902, initially serving with the 5. Kompanie, Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 20. His early enlistment places him among the experienced pre-war soldiers who formed the backbone of the German Army at the outbreak of the First World War.

With the mobilization of 1914, Lang was recalled to active service and assigned to the Bayerisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 4. His wartime career continued through multiple frontline infantry formations, including Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 3 and later the Bayerisches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 17. With Reserve Infantry Regiment 17, Lang saw heavy combat service in Flanders and France, placing him squarely in some of the most contested sectors of the Western Front.

On 27 November 1917, Lang was awarded the Preußisches Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse, a significant and desirable decoration for a Bavarian soldier, reflecting distinguished service under fire outside his home kingdom.

His Militärpaß further records that on 3 March 1918, Lang was wounded by artillery fire at Mesnil-St-Sevoye, a clear indication of direct exposure to frontline combat during the final, intense phase of the war.

Highlights:

  • Pre-war professional soldier (enlisted 1902)

  • Service in multiple Bavarian frontline infantry regiments

  • Western Front combat in Flanders and France

  • Iron Cross 2nd Class (Prussian award to a Bavarian soldier)

  • Documented combat wound from artillery fire in 1918

A strong, historically rich Militärpaß combining long service, frontline infantry combat, an Iron Cross award, and a recorded wartime wound—an excellent example for collectors of Bavarian units, Western Front veterans, or Iron Cross recipient documents.

Imperial German WWI Militärpaß – Munitions-Kolonne (Verdun, Ypern.. Earned EK2)

€45,00

Offered is an original Imperial German Militärpaß issued to Hugo Lansberg, a veteran whose documented service spans the Kaiserreich, the entirety of the First World War, and the immediate postwar period.

Hugo Lansberg was born on 17 September 1878 in Hohenplanken and entered military service in 1899, initially serving with the 1. Eskadron, 2. Rheinisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 9, reflecting a long pre-war professional military career. With the outbreak of the Great War, Lansberg was deployed on the Western Front and saw extensive frontline service in France, including major combat zones such as Verdun, the Aisne, and Flanders.

Prior to 13.12.1916, he served under the 10. Infanterie-Division. From 13 December 1916 until 12 January 1919, Lansberg served with a leichte Munitions-Kolonne (No. 745), a role critical to sustaining frontline operations under fire. During this period, he rose through the ranks to Non-Commissioned Officer, clearly indicating reliability, experience, and leadership under combat conditions.

Most notably, Lansberg was awarded the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse on 5 May 1917, earned while serving with the light ammunition column—an uncommon and highly desirable detail, as EK2 awards to logistical and support units reflect service under particularly dangerous conditions rather than ceremonial recognition.

Following the armistice, his Militärpaß records continued service from 13 January 1919 with Feldartillerie-Regiment 46, placing him among the transitional forces during the turbulent postwar period.

Highlights:

  • Long pre-war and wartime service (1899–1919)

  • Western Front combat including Verdun

  • EK2 award to an ammunition column soldier

  • Promotion to NCO during wartime

  • Well-documented, continuous service record

A highly attractive Militärpaß with excellent historical depth, combining cavalry origins, frontline Western Front service, an Iron Cross award, and postwar continuity. An outstanding piece for collectors of Imperial German documents, EK recipients, or Western Front veterans.
