Signed Portrait of (SS-Oberführer) Dr. Heinrich Glasmeier – Reichsrundfunkintendant – Early 1934 (!)

495,00

Original period portrait photograph of Dr. Heinrich Glasmeier (1892–1945), shown wearing an early SS uniform and bearing a personal handwritten dedication and signature on the reverse, dated 1934.

Glasmeier was an important figure in the German broadcasting system during the National Socialist period. In April 1933 he was appointed Intendant of Westdeutsche Rundfunk GmbH in Cologne, a position he held until 1937. He subsequently became Reichsrundfunkintendant and General Director of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft. Glasmeier had also been a member of the SS since 1933.

The photograph shows Glasmeier in an early period SS uniform and is accompanied on the reverse by a contemporary handwritten personal inscription and his signature, dated 1934. The date corresponds perfectly with his position as head of the Westdeutsche Rundfunk at the time.

Glasmeier ultimately attained the rank of SS-Oberführer in 1939, his highest rank within the SS. He remained Reichsrundfunkintendant and General Director of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft until the final months of the war. In May 1945, as U.S. forces approached St. Florian, Glasmeier fled towards the front in the direction of Graz and Wiener Neustadt. He disappeared and was never seen again. He was officially declared dead by the Münster District Court in 1950, although the exact circumstances and date of his death remain uncertain.

The combination of an original period portrait, a personal dedication, and a contemporary signature makes this a particularly interesting piece for collectors of original German political history, autographs, SS-related material, and the history of German broadcasting.

The reverse retains the original Photo-Noris Nürnberg photographer’s imprint, providing useful period provenance and confirming the professional photographic studio responsible for the portrait.

A very attractive original photograph for collectors of SA militaria, German political organizations, uniforms, decorations and original period photography.

Studioportrait Ritterkreuzträger Anton Bayer – Grenadier-Regiment 19 (7. Infanterie-Division)

150,00

Original wartime studio portrait postcard-size photograph of Oberfeldwebel Anton Bayer (1914–1996), Knight’s Cross holder of Grenadier-Regiment 19 / 7. Infanterie-Division, with his original postwar autograph on the reverse.

A very attractive original portrait of Oberfeldwebel Anton Bayer, a highly decorated German Army anti-tank specialist and recipient of the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes.

The photograph shows Bayer in uniform wearing the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, awarded to him on 5 October 1943 for his actions on the Eastern Front. He served as a Zugführer in 14.(Panzer-Jäger)/Grenadier-Regiment 19, 7. Infanterie-Division. Contemporary and specialist sources document Bayer’s Ritterkreuz award in this capacity.

Bayer had entered military service with the anti-tank company of Infanterie-Regiment 19 in 1936 and served with the regiment during the campaigns in Poland, France and the Soviet Union. Following the reorganisation of the regiment, he continued with 14. Kompanie/Grenadier-Regiment 19, later designated Grenadier-Regiment 19 “List”, of the 7. Infanterie-Division.

His Knight’s Cross was awarded following a particularly notable action on 27 August 1943. During heavy fighting, Soviet T-34 tanks broke through the German defensive positions. Bayer had prepared an anti-tank position on elevated ground, but the attacking armour quickly knocked out the available Pak guns. When the crew of the final operational gun was put out of action, Bayer personally took over the weapon and engaged the Soviet tanks.

According to the Ritterkreuz recommendation, Bayer succeeded in destroying several attacking T-34s before using his remaining ammunition to immobilise additional tanks. He then destroyed the gun to prevent its capture and fought his way back to the German lines armed only with his pistol. His actions helped prevent the Soviet armour from penetrating into the German rear and allowed his regiment to withdraw.

Bayer’s other decorations included the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse, Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse, Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen, Ostmedaille, Nahkampfspange in Bronze and Verwundetenabzeichen.

Anton Bayer was born on 30 May 1914 and died on 7 July 1996. At the end of the war he was taken prisoner by Soviet forces on 8 May 1945 and remained in Soviet captivity until 10 April 1948.

The photograph

The item consists of an original wartime studio portrait in postcard format, showing Bayer wearing his Knight’s Cross. The reverse bears a handwritten postwar signature by Anton Bayer, making this a particularly desirable combination of an original wartime portrait and signed Ritterkreuzträger photograph.

The photograph retains its original scalloped photographic edges and shows normal age-related handling/storage wear consistent with an original period photograph.

An excellent portrait for collectors of Ritterkreuzträger, Grenadier-Regiment 19, 7. Infanterie-Division, Panzerjäger personnel and signed Wehrmacht photographs.

The soldiers wear early Waffen-SS uniforms with shoulder straps and collar tabs, providing an excellent study piece of wartime SS uniforms and barracks life. The combination of the official SS newspaper together with the prominently displayed unit motto creates an uncommon and highly displayable photograph.

Portrait of Ritterkreuzträger Burkhardt Bollmann – Posthumous Knight’s Cross Recipient – KIA 1944

75,00

Original wartime studio portrait of Ritterkreuzträger Burkhardt Bollmann, a rare and historically interesting signed photo of a Knight’s Cross recipient who received the award posthumously.

The postcard-sized studio portrait shows Bollmann in Wehrmacht uniform wearing an impressive award bar, with the Iron Cross 1st Class clearly visible. A sharp and attractive period portrait with very good contrast and excellent display value.

Particularly interesting is the handwritten text on the reverse, identifying him as:

Burkhardt Bollmann
Born: 18 June 1905, Landshausen, Kr. Ziegenhain
Killed in action: 21 October 1944, during fighting at the Brückenkopf Schelde-Süd (Scheldt bridgehead, south sector)

Bollmann was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross posthumously for his leadership and combat actions during the bitter defensive fighting in late 1944, making this a desirable piece connected to the final hard-fought battles on the Western Front.

The photo remains in very good condition with clear image detail and light age wear consistent with wartime storage. The handwritten identification on the reverse adds strong provenance and historical value.

Press Photograph – Flemish Nursing Students – Occupied Belgium – WWII

100,00

Press photographs relating to wartime nursing education and civilian medical organizations are considerably less common than military subjects and provide valuable documentary insight into everyday life and institutional activities in occupied Belgium.

Condition: Very good original condition with minor age-related handling wear. Reverse retains the original Belga Press Service stamp, handwritten identification, and period archive markings. An attractive and historically interesting original WWII Belgian press photograph.

Soviet Guards Cavalry Officer Portrait – Captain Alexander Y. Filin – Order of the Red Star – 17th Guards Cavalry Regiment – Schwedt 1945

20,00

Original Soviet portrait photograph of Alexander Yakovlevich Filin (1923–?), a decorated Soviet Guards cavalry officer of the 17th Guards Cavalry Lida Red Banner Regiment, part of the 5th Guards Cavalry Division.

Filin served in the Red Army from 1942 and participated in combat from June 1942 onward. During the war he served as a gun platoon commander within the regiment’s artillery support elements and distinguished himself repeatedly in frontline combat.

Archival award research identifies him as a recipient of two Orders of the Red Star (Орден Красной Звезды) for bravery and leadership in combat.

His first Red Star was awarded for actions during the January 1945 offensive near Janów (Białystok region), where his platoon destroyed enemy artillery positions and transport vehicles while supporting cavalry assaults and advancing into East Prussia.

He later earned a second Red Star for actions in the final phase of the war during the Berlin campaign, including combat near Schwedt on 30 April 1945 and actions near Lake Ternov on 1 May 1945, where he led his platoon under heavy enemy fire and ensured effective artillery support.

The reverse inscription identifies the officer as Captain A. Y. Filin, indicating a postwar promotion. The portrait dates from approximately 1951.

The photograph shows Filin wearing his wartime decorations, including:

  • Order of the Red Star
  • Campaign and service medals

A desirable named portrait of a decorated Soviet Guards cavalry officer with excellent wartime history, including combat service in East Prussia and the final battles in Germany.

Included:

  • Original portrait photograph only

The grouping consists of numerous original private photographs showing Kriegsmarine personnel in both formal and informal settings, including dockside ceremonies, parade formations, group portraits, harbor scenes in Danzig, and personnel aboard or beside naval vessels.

Several photographs are marked on the reverse with unit stamps from 7.

NSJV Group Photograph – Limburg – Gouwleider Frans Ketels (Murdered during Repression!)

110,00

Original wartime photograph showing a group of members of the Nationaal-Socialistische Jeugd Vlaanderen (NSJV) gathered in front of a large building, likely during an organized youth activity or meeting in Limburg. Particularly notable is the presence of Frans Ketels, identified in period handwriting on the front as “Ketels,” visible among the group.

The NSJV functioned as the youth movement connected to the Flemish nationalist and collaborationist milieu during the German occupation of Belgium. Members are seen wearing characteristic NSJV youth uniforms, including white shirts, dark ties, skirts and shorts, with one youth clearly displaying an armband.

Frans Ketels originated from a Catholic and Flemish-nationalist family and studied law at the University of Leuven before the war. Prior to the German occupation he served as a regional leader within the Algemeen Vlaamsch Nationaal Jeugdverbond (AVNJ) and later became Gouwleider of the NSJV in Limburg during the occupation years.

Following the liberation of Belgium, Ketels was arrested on 22 September 1944 near Elen (Maaseik). According to postwar accounts, he was severely mistreated and publicly humiliated both in Maaseik and Hasselt. Before any formal trial could take place, he died in a hospital in Liège from injuries sustained during his detention. Within parts of Flemish-nationalist postwar memory, the death of Frans Ketels became symbolic of the violent street reprisals and excesses that occurred during the liberation period, particularly in Limburg.

The reverse bears a wartime photographer’s stamp:
“Foto Melotte – Winterslag – Albert I-laan”

An uncommon and historically significant original photograph connected to the NSJV and wartime Flemish collaboration history in occupied Belgium.

Size:
Approx. 11.5 x 7.8 cm
