SS TK soldbuch,picture and document grouping help

[BobI]

Hi!

I am not really sure what to do with this grouping. I am curious as to value and desirability of such a grouping. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bob

Here is what the group consists of, I will try and post pics tonight.

• SS Soldbuch named to Kurt Graupner with 4 entries on page 22, picture is absent and many stamps and entries thoughout.
• Picture book with 48 pictures with several of them wearing TK uniforms, many on a ship.
• A bank statement of some sort from 1952
• Black wound badge document from 1943 named to Kurt Graupner
• Document of “Die Deutche Arbeitsfront dater 1939
• KVKII document mit Schwertern to Kurt Graupner dater 1944
• Document from 1918, I do not know what it is although it comes with the grouping and I am sure has some sort of connection.
• A Leiftungsbuch named to Graupner again with the photo removed. There are many SA stamps on it.
• Der Abnenpak, I am not sure exactly what this is but the name Graupner has been entered many times through the book.
• A portrait photo which I belive is named on the reverse side to Mr. Graupner. It is interesting to note that his visor hat has an SA eagle attached vs. an SS eagle.
• Another work book “Die Deutche Arbeitsfront” named to Kurt Graupner and dated 1939.
• An interesting picture of an SS general I would imagine presenting the KVKII to Kurt? It looks like him and he is the same rank but also is wearing a Rienhard Heidrich cuff title. The reverse side has the following written “Verleihung des KVK. durch, SS-Standartenfuhrer Knob, Weimar-Buchenwald.d1.Sepr. 1944. There is also in pencil written Adjei SS-oberstumf. Bilitz
• Some sort of copied document from 1944, not sure what it is. It says “Kinder der Ehleute” on the top if that helps.
• I am not really sure on this one either although I think it is permission from the SS to Marry miss Marianne Kilian. It is dated 1934 from Berlin from Der Reichsfurer SS. Which there is also a document for a mothers cross to Mrs. Kilian in the grouping.
• The award for Mothers cross to Mrs. Graupner/Kilian in 1942
• Certificate of discharge in 1946 for Kurt.
• Post card? With a note possibly from a POW camp?
• RDF document from 1943 to Graupner
• Possibly a release document from 1948 from a POW camp dated 1948
• POW post card to his wife dated 1945
• 6 more post cards from a POW camp to Kurt’s wife.

Small book with entries, “Sparkasse Der Stadt Crimmitschau” dated 1944 in hand written in in 2 spots. Inside there is a stamp from 1950, not sure exactly what this is.

Bob,

To my mind, the key is what this soldier did. What units did he serve with - that were identified in his soldbuch. Decorations? Wounds? Sought after signatures? Where did he serve?

The military record is central in determining value.
