Manuals & Paper items

Extensive grouping to Generalleutnant Heinrich Nickel. The grouping is a vast collection of over 100 maps, photographs and personal memorabilia to his wartime experiences. The grouping has a large number of maps which most were drawn into by Nickel with dates, tactical and unit markings. There are maps from world war one, when he served as a Leutnant. There are a large number of maps of the 1940 campaign and the eastern front, which are mostly drawn into with dates, tactical and unit markings. This is a true goldmine for a historian or collector; these maps are a testimony to the battles fought and a direct source for detailed information.

Next to the maps there are two personal kit boxes, a number of unit made ashtrays with interesting motives, his first ánd second world war Erkennungsmarke, his double claw belt and a map containing a large number of mostly unpublished photographs.

This is a great grouping for any serious collector or historian and would be very hard to upgrade!

Please note; shipping outside Europe should be considered expensive; it would take several boxes and most probably cost 250 euro and will be charged after. Pickup is preferred, can be delivered to most BENELUX militaria fairs.

Very nice period manual: Zeichnung und Skizze or “drawings and sketches”. The manual is written by Leopold Kamm in München in 1935. Nice example with a number of tactical lessons!

Nice Heer issued shooting prescription or Schießvorschrift – (H. Dv.) Heeres Dienstvorschrift 240. This example is for the use of the rifle, light machine gun and pistol. The guide is published in 1937 and is in good condition.

Great original large portrait picture on a postcard size 13x19cm. The soldier is seen wearing the field grey wrapper with insignia for Sturmgeschutz/Artillerie or late war Panzergrenadier. Very hard to make out the exact Waffenfarbe on a black and white picture.
