Outstanding and historically significant grouping of 63 original wartime photographs, 1 postcard, and 1 death card, all related to a Fallschirmjäger (German paratrooper) who fought during the legendary Battle of Crete (Kreta), 1941.

This rare set offers an authentic and personal glimpse into the life and service of a German paratrooper, including:

• Striking images of Fallschirmjäger in full gear

• Action shots over Greece and on the ground in Crete

• A unique photo of a paratrooper holding a sniper rifle – a standout highlight! (See the photo with the PAK)

• Candid moments of daily life, movement, and operations on the island

Also included is a death card for a soldier from Fallschirm-Sanitäts-Abteilung, D XI. Fliegerkorps, who was killed west of Heraklion – a powerful and somber connection to the brutal combat experienced on Crete. Whether this soldier was part of the same unit or a close comrade remains unclear, but the inclusion adds valuable historical depth.

A visually rich and emotionally resonant grouping—ideal for collectors of Fallschirmjäger, airborne operations, or Battle of Crete memorabilia. Groupings of this size and content are becoming increasingly scarce.

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Andre Baylé. SS-Unterscharführer und Junker André Bayle (00.00.1926 † 00.00.2010) served with the 33. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS “Charlemagne“ during the war. Signed on the reverse. Author of “Von Marseille bis Nowosibirsk”. Postcardsize. Condition as seen.

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Werner Damsch. SS-Hauptsturmführer Werner Damsch (22.07.1918 † 07.11.1994) earned the Ritterkreuz on April 17, 1945 as SS-Hauptsturmführer und Kommandeur of the I. Bataillon/ SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 25 of the 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend”. Postcardsize. Condition as seen.

Ritterkreuz: Distinguishing himself as a Bataillon commander during the Battle of the Bulge. He achieved particularly notable success on the 03.01.1945. On this day he led a Kampfgruppe composed of the remnants of the I. and II./SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25. With help from the divisional Panzer-Regiment he succeeded in capturing the village of Mageret and Hill 510, the latter being located just to the west of the village. He was later wounded on the same day at 19:00 by an artillery strike that badly injured both of his legs.

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Johann Fiedler. SS-Oberscharführer Johann Fiedler (28.04.1922 † 23.09.1999) earned the Ritterkreuz on June 16, 1944 as SS-Unterscharführer und Zugführer in the 5. Kompanie/ SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 6 “Theodor Eicke” of the 3. SS-Panzer-Division “Totenkopf”. Condition as seen.

Knight’s Cross: “On the 26.04.1944 the SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 6 ‘Theodor Eicke’ attacked towards Pascani with the intent of improving its own lines. After overwhelming the first hostile trenches an enemy flanking position containing numerous bunkers that had not previously been identified made itself very uncomfortably felt. Under fire from the flanking bunkers and field positions, the friendly attack initially bogged down.

In this situation SS-Unterscharführer Fiedler led his squad into an attack against the enemy trench on his own initiative and rolled it up in bitter close combat. He eliminated the bunkers that formed part of the enemy’s defensive network with great prudence and exemplary bravado.

Through this independently conducted action Fiedler took out the enemy flanking threat, and in doing so he enabled the attack of the two forwardly deployed Bataillone to proceed. He personally captured the following: 35 prisoners, 1 anti-tank gun, 2 heavy machine-guns, 5 light machine-guns, 39 machine-pistols. Over 40 enemy dead lay amongst the trenches and bunkers he had cleared. Through this achievement Unterscharführer Fiedler has achieved a decisive success far out of proportion to his battlefield importance.

I ask that SS-Unterscharführer Fiedler (who has already been wounded in the East a total of 9 times) be awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross for his heroic deed and its associated success.”

Authentic WWII-era photo collection featuring 72 original photographs along with a rare commemorative card titled “Zur Erinnerung an Kriegsweihnachten 1942 vor Leningrad” (“In Memory of War Christmas 1942 near Leningrad”).

The photos most likely depict men of the 1. SS-Infanterie-Brigade, identified by the unit insignia visible on a vehicle wheel cap in one of the images. The 1. SS-Infanterie-Brigade was formed from concentration camp guards and early SS volunteers, and served primarily on the Eastern Front in rear-security and anti-partisan operations.

Highlights of the collection include:

• Camouflage uniforms in use

• Portraits of officers and enlisted men

• Photographs of Vehicles

• Candid and formal group shots

Many photos feature handwritten names on the reverse, offering excellent research potential for collectors and historians alike offering insight into a little-documented SS formation..

Original WH Heer Panzerjäger-Abteilung 38 Summer Tunic for a Hauptmann. I was able to identify the owner as Hauptmann Freiherr von Süsskind-Schwendi, the tailor tag with name is mostly washed out but with some different lightning and factchecking, the only possibility is him. The tunic is in nicely worn condition with all its original effects still attached. The tunic has room to hang one award (EK1 here since he earned it in 1940 when he was Hauptmann).

This has been acquired seperately from his Visor cap that we also have for sale. The items were sold in different auctions via an auction house. We’ll give a discount for the one who wants to keep it together and buys the time!

Outstanding WW1 & WW2 Document Grouping to Major Friedrich Führer – Nachrichten-Abteilung 161, 61. Infanterie-Division / Heeresnachrichtenschule II / Führerreserve OKH

A remarkable and historically rich document grouping belonging to Major Friedrich Führer, a highly decorated German officer who served in both World Wars. As Commander of Nachrichten-Abteilung 161 of the 61. Infanterie-Division during World War II, Führer held a vital role in military communications on the Eastern Front. Following this command, he was assigned to the Heeresnachrichtenschule II (Army Signals School II), and later placed in the Führerreserve of the OKH.

This extensive grouping spans decades of service and includes:

• Original Soldbuch with entries

• Award document for the 1914 Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse

• Award document for the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (dated 1919)

• Award documents for the Treudienst-Ehrenzeichen in Silber und Gold

• Medaille zur Erinnerung an die Heimkehr des Memellandes

• Spange zum Eisernen Kreuz 2. Klasse & 1. Klasse

• Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer

• Typewritten Abschrift of a Divisions-Tagesbefehl (Daily Division Order) detailing the award and reasoning behind his 1914 Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse

• Additional wartime and postwar documents, providing insight into his long military career

This grouping is a rare and complete historical ensemble that traces the distinguished service of a career officer from the trenches of WW1 to key communications roles in WW2. Major Führer’s decorations, particularly the early award of the EK I in WW1, underscore his longstanding commitment and valor.

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Remi Schrijnen. SS-Unterscharführer Remi Schrijnen (24.12.1921 † 27.07.2006) earned the Ritterkreuz on September 21, 1944 as SS-Sturmmann und Richtschütze in the 6. Kompanie/ 6. SS-Freiwilligen-Sturmbrigade “Langemarck”. Condition as seen. Smaller than postcardsize.

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.”
