This came in today. Found last month inside an old book at a garage sale in Miami, and purchased by me from the lady who discovered it. Just goes to show that good stuff is still out there.

Simply amazing, Craig.
Can anyone tell me what the "Leichtflugzeugklub" is/was?
You sure do turn up some incredible pieces, Craig.

Hlmmler's pilot-status is what made it possible for Goering to give him the Pilot Observer with Diamonds. I know that he could give it to anybody he pleased, but it seems that people who were awarded it happened to be pilots (like Heydrich).Comment

You're right.......only qualified pilots got the diamond badge. Himmler, Skorzeny, Dietrich, Mussolini etc. etc. all had civilian or military pilot licences.Comment
