DRK Verwendungsbuch – Hamburg
€75,00An original wartime Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK) Verwendungsbuch issued to Wilma Elisabeth Warmburg, complete with its original attached portrait photograph and official issue stamps.
The booklet was issued in Hamburg on 22 July 1940 and served as the official service record for personnel employed within the DRK voluntary nursing service. It retains the original owner’s photograph, several official inspection stamps and signatures.
Wilma Warmburg was born on 21 November 1905 in Hamburg and is listed as a housewife (Hausfrau). Her husband is recorded as Reinhold Warmburg, residing in Hamburg-Bergedorf, with no children noted.
The booklet records her physical description, identification details and official registration within the DRK nursing organization. Unlike many later wartime examples, this booklet appears largely unused, with few subsequent service entries, making it a well-preserved early-war issue.
A desirable original DRK personnel document with excellent display appeal thanks to its original portrait photograph and early 1940 issue date.

Such identity cards were required for housemaids and domestic employees and documented their personal details and employment history.
This example is issued to Marie Litz, born 18 May 1903 in Teichendorf, Spital, Austria. It features an attractive original portrait photograph securely attached with its original metal staples, together with the official embossed Austrian eagle seal, municipal stamp, and period signatures.

An increasingly uncommon surviving Weimar-era Austrian identity document that offers an excellent insight into the regulation of domestic employment during the early First Austrian Republic. The original portrait photograph and complete official markings make this an attractive display piece for collectors of Austrian history, identification documents, and social history.

Luftwaffe Ritterkreuzträger Soldbuch Grouping to Major Theodor Rossiwall – Spanish Civil War Veteran, Fighter Ace & Knight’s Cross Holder
€3.750,00Exceptional and highly researchable original wartime Luftwaffe Soldbuch grouping belonging to Theodor Rossiwall (12 October 1915 – 11 July 1979), highly decorated Luftwaffe fighter ace, combat pilot, and recipient of the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes.
Rossiwall claimed a total of 19 aerial victories in over 400 combat missions, including 2 victories during the Spanish Civil War while serving with the famous Condor Legion. He is additionally associated with the aerial combat on 20 April 1941 during which RAF top ace Pat Marmaduke Pattle was shot down over Greece/Crete, with Rossiwall and Sophus Baagoe both credited with claims during the engagement.
Born in Vienna, Rossiwall originally joined the Austrian Air Force before being transferred into the Luftwaffe following the Anschluss in 1938. He later served with Jagdgruppe 88 during the Spanish Civil War, where he flew combat missions against Republican forces and achieved two confirmed aerial victories, including a Polikarpov I-16 near Reus on 20 December 1938.
On 1 July 1939, Rossiwall transferred to Zerstörergeschwader 26 (ZG 26). During the Second World War he served extensively as a Bf 110 Zerstörer pilot and Staffelkapitän, later commanding larger formations. Following the loss and capture of Eberhard von Trützschler-d’Elsa in May 1940, Rossiwall assumed command within 5./ZG 26 during the Western Campaign. During the Dunkirk operations of May 1940 he reportedly led aggressive fighter actions against RAF formations, earning a formidable reputation.
He later fought on the Eastern Front, where he claimed additional aerial victories, before commanding II./Nachtjagdgeschwader 4 from January 1942 onward, achieving further successes as a night fighter commander. By March 1943 he had been promoted to Major and later commanded elements of Nachtjagdgeschwader 101. In August 1943 he became commander of the newly reformed Zerstörergeschwader 76, an anti-bomber formation operating Bf 110 aircraft against Allied heavy bombers. During these operations he claimed several B-17 Flying Fortress bombers destroyed. Rossiwall survived the war and passed away on 11 July 1979.
This grouping contains Rossiwall’s first-issue Soldbuch, complete with his original portrait photograph pasted into the rear section of the document. The Soldbuch is extensively filled with wartime entries, unit stamps, leave entries, medical examinations, equipment issue records, and award entries. Since no further entries appear after late 1942, it is highly likely Rossiwall later received a second replacement Soldbuch for continued service.
The grouping additionally includes his original Militär-Flugzeugführerschein, wartime photographs, and accompanying related material.
Awards recorded inside the Soldbuch include:
- Dienstauszeichnung IV. Klasse
- Medalla de la Guerra
- Cruz de Guerra
- Spanienkreuz in Gold mit Schwertern
- Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse
- Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse
- Ehrenpokal für besondere Leistungen im Luftkrieg
- Frontflugspange in Silber – awarded 25.3.1941
- Verwundetenabzeichen in Bronze – awarded 18.5.1941
- Frontflugspange in Gold – awarded 23.6.1941
- Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes – awarded 6.8.1941
- Tapferkeitsabzeichen IV. Klasse, 1. Stufe – awarded 27.4.1942
The Soldbuch itself shows extensive honest wartime wear and service use throughout, with period aging, handling wear, field usage, and numerous official stamps and signatures consistent with active frontline Luftwaffe service.
An exceptional and historically important Luftwaffe fighter ace and Ritterkreuzträger grouping with outstanding research potential, especially desirable due to Rossiwall’s documented Spanish Civil War service, Knight’s Cross award, Ehrenpokal, extensive combat career, and connection to some of the Luftwaffe’s best-known operational units.
Condition as seen.

LW Soldbuch & NSFK Flugbuch Grouping – Grenadier-Regiment 1036 (59. Infanterie-Division) – WIA Dec. 1944 (HVPl. Immerath, Ortskommandantur Zwolle)
€210,00Outstanding original WWII German document grouping belonging to Gerhard Schmid, born 18 June 1926 in Aalen (Württemberg), documenting his remarkable path from NSFK glider pilot training to late-war frontline combat service.
The grouping includes:
- Original Luftwaffe Soldbuch, complete with photograph
- Original NSFK Flugbuch
- Feldpostcard
- Copy of a photo of him and his birth- and death date
Schmid began training with the NSFK (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps) on 29 August 1941, successfully completing all major glider pilot qualifications. This documents his progression through Germany’s wartime aviation training system before entering military service.
Of particular historical interest is Schmid’s later transfer from Luftwaffe service into frontline ground combat during the final phase of the war—reflecting the increasingly desperate manpower situation in late 1944.
He served with: 2. Kompanie / Grenadier-Regiment 1036 of the 59. Infanterie-Division
The 59. Infanterie-Division fought heavy defensive actions in the Netherlands and western Germany during late 1944.
On 31 December 1944, Schmid was wounded in combat by shell fragments to the left thumb and evacuated to HVP Immerath. He remained hospitalized until 7 January 1945, after which he returned to duty.
A rare and historically rich named grouping with excellent research potential. Gerhard Schmid survived the war and passed away on 3 December 2012.
WWII Deutschen Volksliste Ausweis & KVK2 with Swords Award Doc – Sonderführer (Z) – 258. Infanterie-Division
€180,00Interesting and historically appealing original WWII document grouping belonging to Sonderführer (Z) Edgar Alexander Kuske, serving with Stab/ 258. Infanterie-Division. The grouping includes his award document for the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern, awarded on 20 April 1943.
Included are several original identification documents, among them a scarce Ausweis der Deutschen Volksliste with portrait photo, as well as pre-war Polish identity papers and additional personal documents. Kuske is listed as born in 1909 in Zdunska Wola and later residing in Posen.
A highly interesting grouping illustrating the complex history of ethnic Germans in occupied Poland and their later service within the Wehrmacht, particularly in administrative or translator roles as a Sonderführer (Z).
Wehrmacht Soldbuch & EK2 Award Document Grouping – Infanterie-Regiment 526 (298. Infanterie-Division)
€175,00Original Wehrmacht grouping consisting of a wartime Soldbuch and matching Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (EK2) award document belonging to Gefreiter Stanislaus Otolla of 12./Infanterie-Regiment 526, part of 298. Infanterie-Division. During his service, he earned the Eiserens Kreuz 2. Klasse and the Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42.
Included are:
- Original Wehrmacht Soldbuch
- Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse award document
The Soldbuch contains various unit entries, equipment issue records, leave entries, and hospital-related entries.
Particularly interesting is a medical entry dated april 1942, noting frostbite to both feet (Erfrierungen beiden Füßen). This strongly suggests Otolla suffered serious cold-weather injuries and may no longer have been fully fit for frontline combat afterward.
The Soldbuch appears to have never had a photo in it, there only seems to be some traces of paper residue (perhaps papers there was no photo available or in it), since there4 are no traces of stamps.
The included EK2 award document is named to: Gefreiter Stanislaus Otolla of the 12./Infanterie-Regiment 526. Dated 2 October 1941, the document bears the signature of General der Infanterie Walther Gräßner, commander of 298. Infanterie-Division.
WWII Infantry Assault Badge in Silver & Wound Badge in Silver Document Group – Leutnant in Grenadier-Regiment 172 (75. Infanterie-Division)
€140,00Original WWII German award document grouping belonging to Leutnant Herbert Jarausch of 5. Kompanie/ Grenadier-Regiment 172 of the 75. Infanterie-Division, consisting of two original award certificates documenting frontline combat service and multiple wounds sustained in action.
The group includes award certificates of the:
Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen in Silber (Infantry Assault Badge in Silver) issued to: Gefreiter Herbert Jarausch of the 9./Grenadier-Regiment 172 on 24 May 1943. The Infantry Assault Badge in Silver was awarded to infantry soldiers who participated in numerous infantry assaults and close-combat operations while serving on the front line.
Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (Wound Badge in Silver) issued to: Leutnant Herbert Jarausch
of the 5./ Grenadier-Regiment 172 on 22 December 1944 in Komotau
The document records that the recipient had suffered wounds on:
- 8 August 1942
- 29 March 1944
- 31 October 1944
A total of three combat wounds, qualifying him for the Wound Badge in Silver.
Both documents bear original signatures and official unit stamps.
Good original condition with expected wartime folds, filing holes, age toning, and handling wear. Both documents remain fully legible and display well.
A desirable combat award grouping documenting both frontline assault service and multiple battle wounds sustained by a soldier who rose from enlisted rank to officer during the war.
WWII Crimea Shield (Krimschild) Award Document – Unteroffizier, Kraftwagentransportabteilung 501 (1943)
€90,00Original WWII German Krimschild (Crimea Shield) award document (Besitzzeugnis) awarded to Unteroffizier Erich Neuber of 2./Kraftwagentransportabteilung 501.
The certificate was issued on 30 January 1943 and confirms the award of the Krimschild, one of the German campaign shields instituted to recognize service during the Crimean Campaign. The document bears the facsimile signature of Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein, whose forces conducted the successful operations in the Crimea during 1941–1942.
Award documents for the Krimschild are highly sought after, particularly those issued to support and transport personnel who played a vital logistical role in maintaining German operations in the region. As a member of Kraftwagentransportabteilung 501, Neuber served in a transport unit responsible for the movement of personnel, supplies, ammunition and equipment under demanding frontline conditions.
The document remains in good original condition with period filing holes, fold marks, light age-related wear and handling traces consistent with wartime use. An attractive and historically significant campaign award document from one of the most famous German operations on the Eastern Front.
Soldbuch Obergefreiter – Nachschub-Bataillon 612 – Missing at Le Château-Charleville, August 1944 – Ostmedaille & KVK2
€165,00Interesting and historically attractive WW2 German Soldbuch belonging to Obergefreiter Paul Artelt, who served with Nachschub-Bataillon 612 and later went missing in August 1944 during the fighting around Le Château-Charleville.

Missing in Action – August 1944
The most historically significant aspect of the grouping is the included handwritten correspondence mentioning that Artelt went missing in:
- Le Château-Charleville
- in August 1944
This places him during the chaotic German retreat after the Allied breakout from Normandy and the collapse of the front in France.
Supply and transport battalions such as Nachschub-Bataillon 612 were heavily exposed during this period, often caught in encirclements, strafing attacks and rapidly collapsing retreat routes.
The included handwritten letter gives the grouping strong personal and research potential.
Included in the Grouping
- Original Soldbuch
- Feldpost envelope addressed to his wife
- Period “Kraft durch Freude” ship dining card
