Uniforms

Rare blood stained Waffen-SS Totenkopf M43 EM Field blouse in as found condition. This field blouse is a typical, late war Waffen-SS two hole variant marked SS-BW indicating SS-Bekleidungswerke. The garment was originally found in the late 1970’s and comes with a letter stating its provenance. The garment was discovered with other uniform pieces in Austria in a former field dressing station in 1977 or 1978. The garment is severly blood stained which resulted in damaged cloth. There are a number of modern patched repairs which are hard to spot externally except for the part on the lower left sleeve. The garment retains its machine sewn insignia including a zig-zag sewn sleeve eagle and straight machine stitched collar tabs. As far as I can see there are no traces of any other insignia; I believe this garment is a time capsule which other then its repairs is in my opinion untouched. The garment is a interesting historical artifact which sadly is not named or researchable as such; yet it is a interesting historical piece which would be very nice to display in a separate display case!

Unique Waffen-SS prototype field blouse grouping of SS-Hauptscharführer Kurt Heindel, Spiess of 5. Kompanie SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment 23 in the 11. SS Panzergrenadier Division Nordland. The grouping consists of his prototype issued field blouse made from reinforced wool and gaberdine. The blouse retains the original shoulderstraps and rank Tresse for the rank of SS-Hauptscharführer. The left sleeve shows evidence of once having a Nordland cufftitle. The blouse is in field worn, uncleaned condition with loads of patina. The grouping also has a number of wartime photographs of Kurt Heindel, including photos with awards and his SS-Degen. His SS-Führerschein and some other documents including his wound badge document. There is also a large portion of the Kriegstagebuch of his Kompanie which he typed up during the war mostly consisting of the battles in 1941 until his company only consisted of 5 men. Very interesting and historic read!

He was awarded the German Cross in Silver on 29.4.1945 whilst his unit was fighting in Berlin!

This is a historically significant grouping that would be a prime piece in any Waffen-SS themed collection and would be very hard to upgrade! This is the first and only field worn garment that I have been able to attribute to the battle of Berlin to a SS Hauptscharführer which defended Berlin until the very last day!
