Photo album of a 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf member.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The Sydnor book is the best scholarly book on the subject. There are multi volume apologia unit histories of Totenkopf, which are not historically accurate.
The Sydnor book is the standard work. There are other works, too, if you are interested, in German, of very high quality and which can easily get in Austria
on the Waffen SS.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

There are also well done biographies of certain figures associated with the SS Totenkopfverbaende and the later Waffen SS Totenkopf Division.
These include the persons of Theodor Eicke and Max Simon.

I write this all because this is my profession over and beyond my being a collector of some decades experience,
some of which includes your native country, which I know rather well.

Thanks for sharing, Sabine. I enjoyed viewing the album it a lot. Your father went through some of the fiercest battles of the war at Demjansk and Charkov. Must been an incredible service, make sure to preserve it for future generations.

As I search for a particular picture, is it just my computer or are these invalid links?

[Friedrich-Berthold]

I assume she extracted the images once it became plain their nature. I do not know if I saved any.

Everything this member posted has been removed before it was noticed, unfortunately. Not much we can do now except to delete it but I felt that there was still some pertinent information posted so, I have left it so far.

Thanks for the great links , I wanted to comment so I won't lose this thread .

You could always take all the photos out and put them on archival acid free backing paper or archival plastic sleeves (I'm always leery of these) but from what I can tell it looks like they were stored well. I think continuing with what you have done should then be fine. Main thing is to keep it out of light and in a temperature controlled environment.
