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.
