Book Die Wehrmacht, 1941 (Item WEHR 15-1) |
|||||||||||

It comprises 320 pages with many pictures of army, navy, and air force action on all fronts. There are pictures of tank battles, Russian prisoners, paratroopers, Africa Corps, leaders, u-boats, cruisers, strategies, etc. The book’s condition is near perfect with one small nick at the top of the binding. It is very historically informative and a great collector’s volume.

German Mountain Trooper’s Ring (Item WEHR 15-6) |
|||||||
DESCRIPTION: Here is a really rare ring. It is the ring worn by the Gebirgsjäger, Mountain Troops. Quite naturally it bears the Edelweiss at the top, the flower that only lives up in the lofty peaks of the Alps. Songs have been written about this precious flower and we don’t even count the one from the awful movie, The Sound of Music (that propaganda flick). This is a beautifully crafted ring in ‘835’ silver and marked inside as such. The German Mountain Troops were a tough, resourceful lot of elite soldiers, who conquered the snowy peaks in the struggle for Europe. This is very nice and rare.
PRICE: SOLD |

Der Letzte Handgranate, “The Last Hand Grenade” (Item WEHR 15-8; WWI 6-11) |
|||||
DESCRIPTION: Here by one of Germany’s favorite artists, Elk Eber of Munich, is the immortal painting that was shown in so many books and magazines of the Reich. This is an official print of that very famous rendering that was featured prominently at the Great German Art Exhibition at the House of German Art in 1937. It, of course, depicts a German soldier in heroic action in the trench warfare of WWI. He gets ready to hurl his last grenade in hopes that it might take out the last vestige of the enemy entrenchment. Note the realism of the hands and the fine perception of the soldier’s determined face. Newly and professionally framed it measures 14 ½ x 17 ½ inches. The actual print is 9 x 12 inches. This belongs in a good collection of German military items. Very fine!
PRICE: $165.00 |

Panzer Beret Patch (Item WEHR 15-12) |
|||
DESCRIPTION: This is the patch that goes on a Panzer beret (Wehrmacht). This is the silver-bullion, oak-leaf cluster and national color roundel. This would be for the later version that was adopted after the introduction of the National eagle. It is in very nice flat weave and in machine-embroidered excellence.
PRICE: $98.00 |

Panzer (Overseas) Cap Device (Item WEHR 15-13) |
|||||
DESCRIPTION: Here is a patch we have not been able to research. It is obviously authentic in bevo style, but we think it is for the latter Panzer overseas cap. The fact that the eagle is together with the national color roundel is different; usually the eagle is separate. Perhaps some of the collectors out there can help. It measures 3 x 2 inches.
PRICE: $62.00 |
