THIS IS DEFINITELY WRONG! Hint, Ich liebe dich!

Brian,

I like the look of this document. I don't have Forman's guideboook in front of me at the moment, but will check and let you know later today (unless someone can provide you with the figure immediately); it's going to be around $150 as I recall (the SS items carry a premium in many cases, as well).

May be I am mistaken, but it seems to me that unit in the stamp spells "Liebstandarte" with the "I" being the 2nd letter in the name. The German name has always been "Leibstandarte" with the "I being the 3rd letter. This is a mistake I some times find with English speaking people. Hence also pronounced the wrong way in some documetaries on Discovery Channel ...

MvG,
Bart

I liebe das Leibstandarte... That dot doesn't belong there me thinks.

Hi,
for me it looks as if there stands Liebstandarte, too.
Cheers

Mein Gott; wie koennte ich das vermisst???

How could I have missed it???

Now, I don't like this doc as much (although misspellings, even on stamps, did occur).

[translator]

Also, was it not getting decidedly late in the war for the use of "SS Verfuegungstruppe" (sorry, my machine won't do umlauts from here) on this kind of document??

I should have looked much more closely at this; that much is obvious. Sorry 'bout that.

Nein

This is a fake document - look at that stamp!!!! SS-VT??? 1943

Who is SS Gruppenführer Schmitt in relation to command of LAH???????
Shouldn't it be Dietrich at this time anyway? That would have made it a bit more convincing!
