    SEPP DIETRICH - New addition to my LAH collection

    I feel very fortunate to have been able to acquire the following item and wanted to share this new addition to my LAH-collection with you fellow members interested.
    <O</O
    <O</O
    It is a “New Years Wishes” card given to SEPP DIETRICH as supreme commander of the 6<SUP>th</SUP> SS-Panzer Armee.<O</O
    <O</O
    The card was hand-made by the “SS-Panzer-Armee Nachrichten-Regiment 6” bearing the signature of it’s commander SS-Standartenführer Georg Janensch.
    <O</O
    <O</O
    It was handed over to “Seppl” on <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:date Month="12" Day="31" Year="1944">the 31<SUP>st</SUP> of Dec. 1944</st1:date> in it’s original envelope inscribed:


    SS-Oberstgruppenfuhrer and Generaloberst der Waffen-SS SEPP DIETRICH”.<O</O
    <O</O
    <O</O
    <O</O

    Items from the estate of Sepp Dietrich are not easy to come by, so I feel even double fortunate. <O</O

    The card, hand-drawn and coloured, includes humoristic sketches of men of the Nachrichten (communications) regiment at work, pulling wires, etc.

        Some of the cartoon sketches.

        Note the SS insignia with no applied cufftitle.

        (Sorry for the bad quality of the image, but I still have not learnt to handle the camera in macro mode)
