€150,00Original Wartime Signature on a Period Photo of Hauptmann Ernst-Hermann Mersmann
Ernst-Hermann Mersmann (21 June 1915 – 17 March 2002) was a decorated Luftwaffe transport and bomber pilot during the Second World War. Serving as Staffelkapitän of 1./Kampfgruppe zur besonderen Verwendung 9 (K.Gr.z.b.V. 9), he took part in nearly every major theatre of Luftwaffe air-transport operations, including Norway, the Netherlands, France, the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Eastern Front.
His skill and courage in hazardous resupply and air-landing missions—most notably at Cholm, Demyansk, and Stalingrad—earned him the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross in December 1942. Over the course of the war he completed more than 300 front-line sorties.

Photo Grouping – U-Boat Crewman (U-48 – Most succesful U-Boat of WWII!)
€395,00Remarkable and diverse original photograph collection belonging to a Kriegsmarine U-Boat crew member, possibly of the famed U-48, the most successful German submarine of the Second World War. The set comprises 14 period photographs, showing the sailor’s career progression, service aboard a U-Boat, and several earlier images from his Imperial German Navy (WWI) service.
The highlight of the grouping are multiple photographs depicting U-Boat conning tower artwork and crew scenes on deck, including a clearly visible tower painting matching that of U-48 — the “laughing swordfish” motif associated with this legendary vessel. Several photos show officers and enlisted men posing beside the decorated U-Boat hull, along with portraits both in uniform and casual settings.
The remaining images document a rich personal and military history, featuring:
-
Crew group portraits taken both at sea and on land
-
Tower close-ups and harbor scenes, showing Kriegsmarine flags and deck fittings
-
Individual studio portraits in U-Boat dress uniforms, with badges and insignia visible
-
Earlier WWI-era naval photos, likely of the same man during his first period of service
Historical Context:
U-48 was commissioned in 1939 and became the most successful submarine of the Second World War, credited with sinking over 50 Allied ships (approximately 306,000 tons) before being scuttled in 1945. The presence of tower art and uniform details consistent with early-war Kriegsmarine U-Boat units strongly suggests these images relate to personnel of this elite vessel or one within its flotilla.
Collector’s Note:
Authentic U-Boat photographs — particularly those showing tower art — are exceptionally rare and highly sought after among Kriegsmarine collectors. This set offers not only identifiable imagery from an early and highly successful U-Boat but also a personalized service record across both World Wars, adding significant historical depth.
The prints are period originals on wartime photographic paper, several with studio stamps or annotations on reverse.
RARE Photograph Set – RKT Bernhard Klemz of Panzer-Regiment “Großdeutschland” (Wartime Signed!)
€850,00Exceptional set of 9x Total (7) original wartime and (2) postwar photographs of Hauptmann Bernhard Klemz (1918–2004), Knight’s Cross and German Cross in Gold recipient, commander of 5./ Panzer-Regiment “Großdeutschland”. Several photographs bear period autographs and inscriptions on the reverse, dated 1943–1944, with one postwar signature from 1958. The set includes formal studio portraits in uniform as well as informal front photographs showing Klemz with fellow officers during field operations.
-
Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes)
-
German Cross in Gold (Deutsches Kreuz in Gold)
Historical Context:
Bernhard Klemz earned the Knight’s Cross on 4 June 1944 as Hauptmann und Chef 5.Kompanie/ Panzer-Regiment “Großdeutschland”, for decisive leadership during the battles near Târgu Frumos (Romania) in April 1944. Commanding 19 Panzer IVs, Klemz led a surprise attack on Soviet armoured concentrations, destroying twenty tanks and multiple artillery positions while sustaining minimal losses. His tactical success was later cited as a model example of mobile armoured warfare in the Eastern Front campaigns.
Klemz’s prior awards included the German Cross in Gold (10 February 1944), reflecting consistent excellence in command during operations in the East.
Collector’s Note:
This is a rare, cohesive photographic grouping connected to one of the notable Panzer officers of the “Großdeutschland” Division. The presence of multiple signed photographs, personal inscriptions, and clear period provenance make this set highly desirable for collectors of Knight’s Cross recipients, Panzertruppen memorabilia, or Großdeutschland Division history.
All prints exhibit sharp contrast and period authenticity — several showing studio backstamps or annotations from 1943–1944.
