Soldaten Der Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler

[ToddMalnar]

Hello all, here's a new purchase I picked up recently. I wanted to try and get a bit of a dialog going on it as I'm thinking of selling it. I'd like to fund some other areas of my collection. I have too much ephemera as it is. So here it is: “Soldaten Der Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler”. There's some very obvious condition issues; the cover folder is split in two, at some point all the pages were hole punched, there is dogging on all the pages and wear and water marks on the backs of most of the photos. On the plus side though, it is all complete and original. Any opinions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Todd



At the beginning of 1943 I present to you with this picture folder, may it remind you of our past deployments. With great expectations we look to our future. Our Fuhrer will find us ready at any time His will is our belief … Sepp Dietrich-SS ObergruppenFuhrer and General D. Waffen SS

Dietrich was obergruppenfurer in 1934...
I never saw this, only the pictures.

nice period book.

Thanks all. They did manage to put together a pretty nice set of photos. From what I've been able to find out about these presentation books, most of the photos were taken during Operation Barbarossa.

In the first picture that features an Mg34, the Mg34 is an early 4 hole barrel jacket.
