Re: Here are my Third reich items
Hi sepulhead, welcome to the forum, IMO, it's the best on the web. Fantastic collection you have there. You have it displayed in a very nice fashion. It has that museum quality look to it. I really like the relic helmets, I just bought my first one this month. Who is the soldier in the color autographed photograph? I've hunted for items from the Spanish Blue Division everytime I come to Barcelona, but haven't had any luck finding anything yet. The stuff seems to be hard to come by even in Spain. My mother and father-in-law live in Sitges, just down the coast from you, we try to make it over there every two years. I think Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. After taking the train into the Sant's Station, I've sat and drank many San Miguel's on Las Ramblas. Gracias por mostrando su maravillosa coleccion!
Jay

Re: Here are my Third reich items
Hi!
The soldier who appears in the coloured photograph is Rochus Misch, a member of the SS Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler, who was in the Berlin’s bunker working like Hitler’s bodyguard. What I have is an original autograph of him, a cool item in my collection.
About the Blue Division is really difficult to find original items in Spain, I’ve seen some items but in personal collections. I’ve seen a lot of fakes about this division, by this way I’ve not bought anything of the Spanish volunteers. And if you find something about it, you’ll spent a lot of money.
And yeah, Sitges have a really cool beaches, I’ve been there sometimes in Sitges Terror Film Festival, I love the zombies films.
I also like San Miguel, but I prefer Estrella Damm, and if you’ll come back to Barcelona I’ll invite you some beers.
Cheers!

Thanks for showing your collection
I have a couple of Blue Div items, the German issue medal and a ribbon bar which belonged to an Officer from the unit.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Here are my Third reich items
That's fantastic sepulhead. Misch was a very private person and did not sign very much stuff after the war. He was a very key person during the last hours of Hitler's life in the bunker. Next time I get to beautiful Barcelona, I'll buy the first Estrella! You have a nice collection.
Ade., I'd love to see your two Blue Division pieces!

Re: Here are my Third reich items
Hi Adrian, thanks for posting this photos of real Blue Division items, always is a pleasure to see original ones. By the moment I don't have anything from this spanish volunteers, but I hope I'll get something in the future.
The brother of my mother's aunt was in the Blue Division, but he was prisoner of the russians until 1952 and he came back to Spain without military uniformology, anything. So I couldn't spoke with him because he died many years before I was born.
I only have a copy of a period photos of him, so when I'll get them I'll post here.
PD:Estrella Damm rules Jay.
