Rare Heer Afrikakorps grouping with cufftitle, album and more
€2,325.00A fantastic Set that came out of the Son of the Veteran, last October (2022), The Veteran s name was Lothar Schauer, member of the 164.Leichte AFRIKA Division. Lothar apparently Died around 2005. I borrowed the text from the consignor who, in my opinion, did a great job at describing the set.
The set Includes a Lothar’s
– Fantastic Erel Schirmmütze marked “Offizier Kleiderkasse Berlin Erel Sonderklasse Extra” with photo proof of Lothar Schauer wearing it
– Afrika Cufftitle Uniform removed with photo proof of him it
– Original Afrika CT Award Document
– Photo Album of Lothar with circa 220 very nice Photos including his RAD Armband glued in the Album and also Photo proofed of him wearing it
– Lothar’s Grundschein
– Lothar’s Letter from his Captain in 1941 about the Greek Campaign and congratulating him about the job done there also attacking the Metaxas line.
– Lothat’s Russian POW Letter to the Family from Moscow – Lothar’s father Kennkarte – Lothar s Brother GOTTFRIED Driving License
– Letter about Lothar’s Brother GOTTFRIED Death in December 1944 and photo of Gottfried.
– Feldpost Letter From Lothar to his Brother 4 Days after He died.
– Two copies of photos with his wife as the son apparently decided to keep the originals; Photos of Lothar and his Wife where the Schirm and the Afrika Cufftitle of this Estate are worn
– Copy of his Wound Badge in Black Award Document
– Copy of his Westwall Award Document. Lothar Joined the Rad in late 1939 until early 1940, After the RAD,Around December 1940 and January 1941 He was then sent to the Infanterie Regiment 382 of the 164.Infanterie Division. He Participated in the 1941 Greek Campaign Where the 164.I.D. Attacked from the North east of Greece while attached to the XXX.Army Corps. The Album shows all the Locations in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and from January to July 1942 in KRETA (where the 164.Infanterie Division was Briefly renamed FESTUNGS DIVISION KRETA before Being finally renamed again into 164.Leichte AFRIKA Division) and Then was sent to North Afrika. He was wounded in North Afrika and then I think he was Promoted to Leutnant Between October and December 1942 basing myself on the Dates of the photos in the Album. After The Afrika Campaign He was sent to the Grenadier Ersatz und Ausbildungs Bataillon 104 first and then with Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon 414 based in Plauen which is beside Where he was from in Oelsnitz. As He was in Eastern Germany he likely was sent with his units to the front facing the Red Army towards the end of the war and Was taken POW by the Russians as confirmed from the Russian POW Letter. His Brother Gottfried was part of the Grenadier Regiment 1084 of the 544.Volksgrenadier Division and Died on 16 December 1944 in southern Poland near Debica. There s a Letter that Lothar wrote to his Brother on 20 December 1944 not knowing that his brother was already dead 4 days before he wrote the letter.A spectacular group that would be hard to upgrade!

Stripped Waffen-SS M40 tunic
Very nice stripped Waffen-SS M40 tunic. Not to be confused with a Heer M40 tunic, this is a genuine SS contract made M40 tunic. The garment retains the clear imprints and ghosting of SS EM insignia. The imprint of the collar tabs, cuff title and sleeve eagle can easily be seen. The garment is a good medium size for modern mannequins. The Garment came out of household clearing and has all insignia and the piece of lining cloth where SS-BW was once stamped removed. The garment would be a perfect example to fully restore or have the collar underneath a smock or dot 44 tunic. The garment retains most of the fluff on the wool and is in good condition.

Unique blood stained Heer EM M40 tunic
Unique Heer EM M40 tunic with a bullethole gone right through the garment, with the lining fully blood soaked. The garment is a typical early M40 with first pattern Einheitskragenlitzen dating pre May 1940. The Einheitskragenlitzen are factory sewn to the garment, the breast eagle is in my opinion resewn. The garment has a small hole to the front and the back, at the shoulder hight. This is a genuine bullet hole that went straight trough and wounded the wearer. The area around the hole is blood-soaked inside and out. Other then these holes on the top there are shrapnel damages with period repairs on the bottom pockets indicating the wearer (probably) survived the ordeal. The garment was found in Magdeburg at some point. The garment is a unique example of a blood-soaked jacket that would be a prime historic piece in any collection.

The canister still retains its vibrant, wartime applied three-tone camouflage pattern up to 90%. The gasmask was found in Pont des Réaux sur le Cagnard which us near Trelly and Quettreville-sur-Sienne which where both the scene of fierce battles fought by the 6. Fallschirmjäger Regiment and 2. SS Panzerdivision ‘Das Reich’. Considering FJR6 had a very typical camouflage pattern, distinctly different then this example my assumption is that this camouflaged gasmask once belonged to a member of the Das Reich division.

The helmet is a stunning and textbook example of a three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet in great condition!

Tall M38 gasmask canister in two tone camouflage named Uffz. Janhsen
€2,200.00M38 gasmask in three tone brush applied camouflage named Unteroffizier Janhsen in very good condition. The gasmask is in a typical three-tone camouflage finish typical for this very specific unit(!). Trough the least 8 years I have seen two of this exact camouflage pattern with this Feldpost number. The lid of the spare lens compartment is marked L50830 indicating 9. Batterie Batterie Fallschirm-Flak-Regiment 12. This unit was stationed under the II. Fallschirm-Korps and was stationed in St. Lô during D-Day. This unit followed the Korps on the western front until in 1945 it moved to the eastern front. When The canister and its mask are both named Uffz Janhsen. A very nice original camouflage gasmask case with a very good base for further research into the unit!

Kdr. SS-Pz.Jg.Abt. “SS-Reich” 1941
Kdr. SS-Pz.Abt. 3 1942

SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Leiner becomes the new battalion commander. Improvised training is conducted by using three Panzer 1s MODEL C. 25 Jan 45, battalion receives 13 Tiger 2 tanks. 26 jan 45 . Entrainment of 39 Tiger 2s in Lage for transport to the eastern front. The battalion is to report directly to Heeeresgruppe Weischel [army group Vistula]. One week prior , SS-Sturmbannfuhrer Herzig relieves the unpopular SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Leiner, the son in law of deceased SS Brigadfuhrer Eicke.SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Birnschein and SS Obersturmfuhrer Ther who sent reports against Leiner to the SS Main office ,are transferred for law , order and discipline reasons to schwere Panzer Abteilung 501. Also from the book on Wittman. In Nov 43 all elements of the battalion not involved in the east front deployment were transported by rail to Sennelager South , Augustdorf. SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Leiner had assumed command of the battalion a short time before [sSS Pz Abt 101]. The 38 year old Leiner had commanded the anti tank battalion of the Totenkopf div in the western campaign of 1940, and in 43 had led the same divisions panzer regiment during the Battle of Kharkov. Leiner was married to one of Eickes daughters, and he was a long serving member of Eickes Division ,where he was sure of the commanders goodwill. Leiner did not enjoy much popularity among members of the 101st. His cold unfriendly manner and his lack of understanding prevented any bonds from being established with the enlisted men, NCO s and officers. That’s all I have not even a photo, he sounds like your typical guy with his head up his behind. no reference for that just personal observation.
SS-number being 27.351
And between May and August 1940 he commanded SS-Totenkopf-Panzer-Abwehr-Abteilung.
SS-Totenkopf-Division the following information:
SS-Totenkopf-Panzer-Abwehr-Abteilung
SS-Sturmbannführer (although I believe this must be SS-Hstuf) Karl Leiner(CO 11-39). So after his service with the SS-Heimwehr ‘Danzig’ he became CO from this unit.
And when I look to what I’ve on SS-Totenkopf-Panzer-Jäger-Abteilung I see this:
SS-Sturmbannführer Leiner (CO 8-40). So this could be correct as well since I first wrote he commanded SS-Totenkopf-Panzer-Abwehr-Abteilung till August 1940. I only don’t know if he was SS-Stubaf already at that time, only someone who has his promotions could tell us this…..
He served with the 15. Kp. from SS-Heimwehr ‘Danzig’ since the CO from that Kp. was an SS-Ostuf called Otto Leiner and Karl had a higher rank at that time when I’m correct. So he probably served with another unit from the SS-Heimwehr ‘Danzig’.
These shoulderboards were obtained direct from the family in Konstanz by a good friend by a picker/collector in Germany and then onto Martin Stiles at Hannahs Reich and have been in a single collection since. Unique offering which would be a prime piece in any SS-Panzer collection!
