Erich S Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I wanted to share this 24mm Deschler GPB from my collection that's attributed to SS Standartenfuhrer Max Sollmann who was the head of Lebensborn and on Himmlers personal staff. He was also awarded the Blood Order, Honor ring and SS Degan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erich S Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks for your reply hesse fee, it's pretty rare to find a GPB attributed to an SS member let alone a high level one such as Sollmann. Best, Erich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erich S Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks Jon and Morten, it really makes history live when you are able to get a badge to a high ranking official. Best, Erich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry 24th Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Very nice Golden Party badge, Erich! If I may ask, does it have a great story behind it? for example a local find or came from a family member etc...and have you been able to locate the other items that you had mentioned; Blood order, Degen, and ring? It is unfortunate that groupings get split up so often regards Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate that groupings get split up so often regards Henry Hello Henry, it was an indirect Vet buy and it came out of Karl Wolf's house along with a few pieces of Allach. Wolf was the head of Himmler's personal staff and Sollman was also on the staff. The badge is the only Sollman item that I own.

Erich S Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Max Sollmann: Acquitted & Released Source: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/rushacase.html Sollmann spent a total of about 3 years in jail, from 45-48. One interesting fact about Sollmann, was that he was of the youngest participants of the Putsch at age 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
