"Teddy" Wisch - Commander LSSAH

[Spanish Freiwillige]

I still can believe my eyes, those were among the best additions to your collection, pieces full of history, I specially enjoyed analizing the ribbon with the period photo, no doubt in mi mind!!



Congratulations again!!!!

Thanks Jaime!

Another nice addition to my growing 'Dietrich-Estate' group.

These pieces are really special to me and carry so much history.

From my SS-Oscha Hermann Ganzmüller (Clerk in Dietrich's Sub-Staff) group:

Picture of Sepp Dietrich showing him wear his Ritterkreuz on the neck-ribbon now in my collection.

I was told yesterday, that Dietrich apprently also wore his diamonds on this ribbon.


As with many other Dietrich items, this piece was captured by U.S. troops from his estate in May 1945.

Now that is a great shot, clear enough to see detail

Real remarkable about this photo and others from the LAH staff
at time of the early campaign in Russia is also that they carried
around all sorts of furniture, put fine tablecloth on the tables,
always fresh flowers on the tables, meetings taking a nice cup
of coffee in porcelain cups, etc. - This would certainly change
until the end of the war.

In the happy times when there is only victory you can have luxuries……………

True, but those were not too happy times either.

Teddy Wisch's brother, Fritz, fell right around the days this
picture was taken.

Well victory does come with a cost

Jaime,

Final defeat also came with a high personal cost for
Theo Wisch: His second brother Hans was killed days
before the total capitulation near Nuernberg.

Btw: All covered in my 'Wisch'-biography currently with
Schiffer Publishing.
