Karl Nicolussi-Leck – SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 “Wiking”
€0,01Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Karl Nicolussi-Leck. SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Nicolussi-Leck earned the Ritterkreuz on April 9, 1944 as SS-Obersturmführer und Chef of the 8. Kompanie/ SS-Panzer-Regiment 5 of the 5. SS-Panzer-Division “Wiking”. Good condition. Measuring: Postcardsize.
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)

€55,00Original WWII death card (Sterbebild) commemorating Richard Donhauser, a crew member of the German submarine U-222.
Service & Fate:
Donhauser served aboard U-222, a Type VIIC U-boat of the Kriegsmarine. On 2 September 1942, during training operations in the Baltic Sea west of Pillau, U-222 collided with U-626 and sank at position 54.25N, 19.30E. Of the crew, 42 men perished and only 3 survived.
Item Details:
-
Original wartime Sterbebild memorial card.
-
Honors a submariner lost in a rare training accident rather than combat.
-
Condition: Good, with light age wear.
Historical Context – U-222:
-
Type: Type VIIC U-boat, backbone of the German U-boat fleet.
-
Role: Training and preparation for operational deployment.
-
Loss: Unlike many U-boats sunk in the North Atlantic by Allied forces, U-222’s loss came through a collision during exercises, highlighting the inherent dangers of submarine service even far from enemy action.
Collector’s Note:
This death card for Richard Donhauser represents the sacrifices of U-boat crews not only in combat but also in training. With only 3 survivors out of 45 men, the loss of U-222 stands as a stark reminder of the constant risks faced by the Kriegsmarine’s submarine arm. A poignant and historically significant piece for collectors of U-boat and Kriegsmarine memorabilia.
Deathcard of U-Boot Crewmember – U-85
€0,01Original Death Card (“Sterbebild”) of U-boot member Oskar Prantl who lost his life while serving with U-85. Good condition.
14 Apr 1942. U-85 was the first U-boat to be sunk off the North American coast after the start of Operation Drumbeat (Paukenschlag) on 13 January 1942. On the day that she was sunk, 14 April, U-85 stayed on the surface throughout the engagement. After repeated hits on the boat fatally damaged her, the order to abandon ship was given, and perhaps half the crew got into the water before U-85 started to go down fast. USS Roper then dropped 11 depth charges onto the already sinking U-boat and the two dozen or so survivors, and in the process killed everyone in the water. (Source: Read more about U-85.)
