Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Thanks Guys, i've not compared them as i dont know where to find any and i am new to Signed Photos ex.
it comes as part of a group ive just got more pics of the group which has 3 books
Signed by Kurt Student and Oswald Finzel and others, in commoration of the 25h Anniversary of the Rhine Crossing
The other Book, a history with a dedication to Douglas Wellingtom, the British Paratrooper he knew
This was made by the FJ veterans in memory of Doug death and signed by the Hanover FJ veterans and Major Oswald Finzel
With a grouping like that their should be no problem with authenticity, Student was fairly popular and signed a fair amount of things before his death in 1978.
This book was sent by the Hanover FJ veterans for Doug's 55th birthday, signed by them all including Major Oswald Finzel
Hanover FJ Veterans Yearbook
In it they discuss Douglas Wellington, the British Paratrooper all this stuff belonged to, including a trip to Rochdale to see Dough and also discuss the book about the 25th Anniversary of the Rhine Crossing
the seller is asking £500 for the group which the more i look into it its way to high
Everything is fine for this group apart from the price !! Very interesting books and docs etc , the link between the FSJ and the British Airborne soldier is very interesting and it would be good to have more info on that relationship and how it came about , elements of Eugen Meindl's II Fallschirm Korps ( Schlemms 1 Fallschirm Armee ) had much involvement fighting the British and Canadians in 1945 including the Rhine Crossing on 23/24 March 1945.
A nice post wae group but if it was another unit other than FSJ the price wouldn't be anywhere near £500 !!

It is a nice group but price is way to high, i made a offer to the seller and the seller has said he will sell the group separate to get what hes asking for it.
