JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Walter Stennes was an SA-leader who, fallen out of favour, had incited the "Stennesputsch" rebellion against Hitler in 1931. After Hitler came to power, he immigrated to China and became a military advisor to Chaing Kai-Shek's Koumintang government (until 1949!).

JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 During his stay in China Walter was busy with training police officers and personal bodyguards of Chiang. At rest
drclaw Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Interesting thread Nick! That was a Hermann Historica item if I recall correctly. Sold for quite a mint too.
