Original interesting and rare award document grouping for Adolf Fischbach, who served with the Kampfgeschwader 27 “Boelcke” and earned the Knight's Cross of the Iron Crosses! The set includes a total of nine award certificates, a Knight’s Cross telegram, a letter detailing his actions, and a Pokal (honor goblet) recipient list.
The documents cover awards such as all three bomber clasps (including one with hanger), the Eastern Front Medal (Ostmedaille), Iron Cross 2nd Class, Iron Cross 1st Class, Pilot Badge, and the Honor Goblet certificate.
Please note: The presentation documents for the Knight’s Cross (Verleihungsurkunde) and the German Cross in Gold are not included.
All items remain in good condition overall. The A5-sized documents have standard filing holes on the sides, and the Pilot Badge and Goblet documents show light signs of age.
Fischbach flew 446 combat sorties and was awarded the Honor Goblet for successfully destroying a train consisting of 40–50 wagons. A rare and desirable grouping with the majority of key documents present.
Exceptional 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend" Soldbuch, Wehrpass & Paper Grouping – Normandy & Battle of the Bulge Veteran
A rare and historically rich grouping belonging to a Funker (radio operator) of the elite 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend", who served with the SS-Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 12 during some of the fiercest fighting of WWII — including the Battle of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge.
Wounded by a bullet to the lung during the Normandy campaign, he was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz and returned to duty in October 1944 with the 3. Batterie / SS-Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment 12 — the Hummel battery, a particularly rare and sought-after unit within the division.
He survived the war and was taken prisoner in May 1945.
A truly complete and compelling set, ideal for any serious collector.
Included in this outstanding grouping:
Original Soldbuch with clear top photo
Wehrpass – rarely found together with the Soldbuch from the same soldier
Supplementary papers, including:
Wartime documents
A very rare 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend" postcard
Postwar documents related to his captivity
A record of two days’ arrest for writing down prohibited place names—an unusual and personal detail of his frontline experience
Direct from the family – first time offered on the market.
This is a standout grouping with direct ties to key WWII campaigns and an elite, sought-after Waffen-SS Division. Don’t miss the chance to acquire an exceptionally rare and well-documented piece of history.
Exceptional & Rare Panzer Grouping – Normandy & Ardennes – Obergefreiter Gärtner, 2. Panzer-Division
A truly outstanding and rare Panzer grouping to Obergefreiter Gärtner, who served with the 8. Kompanie / Panzer-Regiment 3, later the 6. Kompanie / Panzer-Regiment 3, and finally in the closing stages of the war with the Werkstattkompanie. Most significantly, Gärtner fought in Normandy with the infamous 2. Panzer-Division, earning several battle days in July 1944 — a distinction rarely documented so clearly.
In August 1944, during the ferocious fighting in Normandy, he was wounded and subsequently decorated with the Iron Cross 2nd Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse) for his actions. His earlier awards included the Wound Badge in Black (Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz) and the Panzer Assault Badge in Silver (Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber), both earned before Normandy.
This grouping comes complete with an array of historically significant items:
Soldbuch with matching Erkennungsmarke (dog tag)
Wehrpass
Original award documents for the VWA Schwarz and Panzerkampfabzeichen
Several documents relating to training and his wounding
Original recommendation file for the awarding of the Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber
Additional paper listing more battle days, including at Hottot, Normandy — matching details in his Soldbuch
Why this grouping stands out:
Groupings to Panzer personnel who fought in Normandy are exceptionally scarce, and this set offers direct, verifiable combat connection to both Normandy and Ardennes operations. The inclusion of the Soldbuch, Wehrpass, matching Erkennungsmarke, award citations, and unique battle day documentation makes this an exceptional historical offering for the advanced collector.
A rare opportunity to acquire a complete, Normandy-provenanced Panzer grouping from one of the most famous German armored divisions of WWII.
This is a superb and historically rich original grouping to SS-Unterscharführer Laspe, who served in 1. Kompanie / SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 37, part of the hard-fighting 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division “Götz von Berlichingen.” Laspe saw intense frontline action during the Battle of Normandy, and this grouping reflects his direct combat experience in one of WWII’s most brutal and unforgiving campaigns.
Included in the group are:
2 award documents, featuring a rare and highly desirable citation for the Nahkampfspange in Bronze (Close Combat Clasp) — awarded for sustained close-quarters fighting in Normandy. This is a seldom seen document, particularly to a soldier of Götz von Berlichingen, and notably signed by SS-Sturmbannführer Jakob Fick-Briehl, commander of SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 37 at the time — a highly significant and collectible signature.
A certificate for the Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (Wound Badge in Black), awarded after Laspe was wounded in July 1944, further attesting to his grueling frontline service in the Normandy campaign.
2 original wartime photographs, showing Laspe in uniform — a rare visual documentation of a Waffen-SS enlisted man of this division.
A selection of wartime papers, adding personal depth and administrative context to his military service.
2 extensive wartime diaries, filled with vivid and detailed combat accounts, offering a rare firsthand perspective on daily frontline life, unit movements, engagements, and personal thoughts during the bitter fighting in France. These are genuine frontline soldier’s journals, not postwar reconstructions. In addition, several postwar diaries are included, providing continued reflections and insight into Laspe’s mindset and experience long after the guns fell silent.
This is an exceptionally complete and research-worthy grouping that not only documents Laspe’s role in the Normandy campaign but also provides rare award citations, battle-proven documentation, and deeply personal narrative material that is seldom available on the market.
A must-have for serious collectors of the Waffen-SS, the Normandy campaign, or award document groups, and an ideal centerpiece for any 17. SS or combat-decorated Waffen-SS soldier display.
Rare. Complete. Unquestionably authentic. A grouping with true historical weight.

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:

Award documents for the Treudienst-Ehrenzeichen in Silber und Gold

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.
Exceptional Normandy & Ardennes Battlefield Grouping – Gefreiter Michel, 2. Panzer-Division
An outstanding and rare original Soldbuch grouping belonging to Gefreiter Michel of the elite 2. Kompanie / Panzergrenadier-Regiment 2, 2. Panzer-Division — a frontline soldier who saw fierce combat in both the Battle of Normandy and the Ardennes Offensive.
This historically rich set includes:
Soldbuch complete with original photograph
Award document for the Iron Cross 2nd Class (EK2), personally signed by Freiherr von Lüttwitz
Award document for the Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze, signed by Walter Brassart
Two additional wound-related documents, including for injuries sustained from a phosphorus grenade during the Ardennes campaign
Michel was promoted to Gefreiter on July 1, 1944, during the Normandy fighting, and awarded the EK2 on July 4, 1944, followed shortly by the Panzer Assault Badge for the same period of engagement. His severe wounding in December 1944 during the brutal Ardennes battles adds further gravity to this exceptional set.
A powerful and complete frontline grouping—ideal for serious collectors of Eastern and Western Front memorabilia, Panzer history, or Normandy-Ardennes campaign material. Rarely do such documented and well-signed sets come to market with this level of authenticity, provenance, and historical depth.
Original Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz (Wound Badge in Black) award document, issued to Emil Löbert, who was wounded in action on April 12, 1941, while serving with the 7. Kompanie / Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler.
Löbert’s military career continued with distinction, eventually attaining the rank of SS-Untersturmführer. He was later killed in action on December 19, 1944 in Büllingen, during the Battle of the Bulge, as an officer with 11. Kompanie / SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 26 of the elite 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend".
A fascinating and poignant piece with direct ties to both the LSSAH and HJ Division, linking two of the most well-known Waffen-SS formations. Ideal for those collecting documents related to combat history or SS officers who participated in major WWII campaigns.
