Wessels Collection

Hello all,
My name is Wessel and I am 14 years old.
I am collecting since 2010.
Sometimes I will post some stuff.
First of all, a rare and complete german babygasmask.

Hi Wessel!
Happy collecting!

Nice little document group from Luftwaffe soldier: 'Paul Fromm' - Active at the 'Brandis' Airfield. 2nd Pattern Arbeitsbuch issued by the 'Arbeitsamt Grimma - Nebenstelle Wurzen'. Paul being a LW member was working at for the 'Fliegerhorstkommandantur Brandis', from 3 april 1939 untill 18 march 1942 as a 'schmied' (smith) and from 18 march 1942 untill 15 april 1945 as an aircraft engine mechanic.
The airfield 'Brandis-Waldpolenz' was used as an aircraft testing ground. There were tests with the 'Sack AS-6', wing only airplaine (Nurflügelflugzeugs). In the summer of 1944 the '1. Jagdgeschwader 400' was stationed at Brandis airport, this unit was flying with the 'Raketenjäger Messerschmitt Me 163', with rocket propulsion. The Me 163 'Komet' was the fastest serie produced airplane during ww2 with a top speed of 960 km/h, the JG 400 was the first rocket fighter squadron in the world.
The 'Wehrmacht-Führerschein' from Paul Fromm is also in the grouping, together with a small period portret picture showing Paul in his Luftwaffe uniform. This driving license is dated 1944.
The last part of the grouping is a photograph showing the working people of the 'Flughafen Waldpolenz'(Brandis).
