Original deathcard of Gefreiter Johann Mayer killed during the battle of the Bulge on December 17th, 1944. Extensive research shows he was killed in the small village of Steinebrück, which is situated exactly on the German-Belgium border only a few kilometres short before the town of St. Vith. Steinebrück was bitterly defended by elements of the 106th US Infantry Division, the Germans who attacked the village where part of the 164. Grenadier-Regiment, to be exact the II. Bataillon. This regiment was part of the 62. Volksgrenadier-Division and Mayer most likely served in this unit. His Erkennungsmarke inscription reads: -520- Stkp.J.E.B. 350. His remains are buried in Daleiden War cemetery.

A great set of +/- 45 photographs with 10 photographs of railroad guns in use of the Wehrmacht. Several large calibre sized railroad guns are pictures; one is named Wir Fahren Gegen Engeland. The pictures also show a large artillery ammunition stash. Most probably these pictures are taken somewhere in France behind the Atlantikwal. The pictures are all in the standard photo size of 9x6CM.

Two original maps showing the area between Leningrad and Novgorod. The place where some of the fiercest battles on the eastern front where fought. The maps are drawn onto and show the HKL or HauptkampfLinie. Very hard to find original maps of Leningrad with drawn in positions and most interestingly; the maps are interlinked. They can be placed on top of each other with a interlinking line of positions.
