Starting may 10 1940, 9.ID crossed Luxembourg into Belgium with the first major battles around Amiens and at the Somme. It then crossed the Oise river and was one of the first units to march into Paris. In June 1941 it was moved into action on the eastern front fighting at Mosastyr and broke through the Stalinlinie. It was well occupied until 1943 when it was ordered to defend the Kuban bridgehead. 9. October 1944 the division was reformed into the 9. Volksgrenadier Division which was moved west and soon to be put into battle during the Ardennes offensive. On 24. December 1944 the division assembled in Manderscheid where it was sent into the offensive fighting at Bastogne, Wilz and Vianden.

The EK2 document is signed by Knights Cross wearer Generalmajor Siegmund Freiherr von Schleinitz. The documents are accompanied with a set of matching and cyphered shoulderstraps to Infanterie Regiment 57.

Textbook M35 helmet produced to M40 specifications marked NS62 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. This M35 helmet was produced in 1940 during the switchover to the M40 type helmet. Hence it was produced with one decal and a dull and slightly textured finish. These helmet where only produced for a few months and are not to be confused with a reissue type helmet. The helmet is in very good untouched condition with 90% of the decal and 90% of the factory paint remaining. The helmet is complete with its factory fitted reinforced aluminum liner and chinstrap. Very nice example in good untouched condition – just how I like them most!

Rare original Luftwaffe issue camouflage smock as made for members of the Hermann Göring Division. Typical garment modeled after the Waffen-SS M38 smock with captured Italian Telo Mimetico material. The smock is in good used condition and the fabric is strong with vibrant but slightly faded colours. Natural wear to the full garment with a stain on the right sleeve that looks like dried blood. The garment is a textbook unit made piece that was made in a small quantity with many period images of these smocks in wear ranging from wear in Italy to the eventual surrender in the Netherlands. The garment is a one looker wartime sewn example without postwar alterations. All of the single seam stitching is old and shows the age one would like to see. Superb and rare piece that would be very hard to upgrade and easily a centerpiece in any camouflage collection!

A nice matching pair of MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouches marked Otto Koberstein Landsberg 1942 indicating production by Otto Koberstein Landsberg. The pouches are in good unissued condition as pictured! The leather on the pouches is supple and the canvas is strong. One of the pouches was most probably on top hence the slight difference in aging. The set still has the original red pencil lines at all the leather fixtures. A great set for a combat mannequin that would be very hard to upgrade!

Rare issue periscope made in France under the German occupation. Originally a pre war model for the French army; this is the first and only example I’ve seen produced under the German occupation. Nicely marked Handsehror 6×20(f) H/6400 Car 567 SRP Puteaux. Superb piece with good optics that is a first for me!
