5x Photos – Young Soldier – 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend” – Cufftitle Visible!
€750,00
Original set of five wartime photographs depicting a young soldier of the 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend”, showing the same individual in several poses and uniforms during his service.
In one of the studio portraits, the soldier clearly wears the rare “Hitlerjugend” cufftitle, specific to this Waffen-SS division. Another photo shows him in an SS Sturmgeschütz wrapper, while an additional image captures him in his winter HJ uniform, likely taken during training or early service. The set documents his progression from youth training to front-line Waffen-SS assignment.
The reverse of one card bears a handwritten dedication:
“Weihnachten 1943 – Euer Friedhelm” in Heidelager Dec 1943!
indicating a personal wartime message home around Christmas 1943 in Heidelager!
Four of the photographs are postcard-size (approx. 9 × 14 cm), and one smaller identification-size portrait is included. All are printed on period Agfa or Mimosa photographic paper, with period wear and light toning consistent with wartime handling.
