Uncategorised Flea-market Finds - Third Reich Mixed Paper Convolute

[AlecH]

Bought a mixed paper convolute at the flea-market last weekend. One piece is a membership certificate for Freikorps Konrad Henlein. I must admit, I'd never hear of this Freikorp group before. Known also as Sudetendeutsche Freikorp and Sudetendeutsche Legion. I've high hopes this piece may be rare and valuable, it was chiefly the reason I bought the convolute. I wonder do members have any pictures of the insignia they wore or indeed any information would be welcome.

Secondly, there was a small Gebirgsjäger's convolute in the mix, a citation to a soldier with the Gebirgsjäger Regt. 99 presenting him with the remembrance medal commemorating Austrian anschluss with Germany. Belonging to the same soldier is a German nationality pass for use only in inland, this pass is also new to me, do members perhaps know anything about this type of pass?

Lastly in the convolute were two NSDAP weekly slogans flyers one from Hitler, one from Goebbels. A couple of small things that I'll tuck away in my collection.

Congrats. The Sudatenland citation is not common!

It is a very interesting small group indeed!!!

That is a nice grouping of documents. Documents of any kind from the TR period are almost impossible to find over here on the West Coast of Canada! Not many made the trip across the Atlantic I suppose. Very good find!

Hello;

Who signed the Sudatenland citation? I think I have seen his signature before I but I don't know who it is.
