small SS LAH Sturmann Photo Group!

[Thälmannpionier]

Hello Collector Friends,
Got this small nice but quite sad Photo Grouping from a LAH Sturmann today on a Fleamarket.

It starts with a Portrait of the young Boy named Otto Haiyte (if I read correct) born 12.8.1920 standing next to a Kruzifix..and probably holding a religious Songbook in his hand.

than shows the next Portrait as a young Member and Sturmann of the Leibstandarte SS "Adolf Hitler".
Lovely Photo with Bayonett, nice Cufftitle View and a SS Ring!!

than there is a large Photo of the same Portrait...approx. 3 Times bigger as PC Size.

and the last Photo shows the Grave of this Soldier. Fallen with the young age of 21 on the 23.12.1941....

This Group should go on the E-Stand...any Price Suggestions for this Grouping are very Welcome.

btw..can anyone find out more with the Name of this Young SS Member?
Thanks
Andreas

Sorry, Andreas, but I think the family name H a i y t e can not be correct. That's not a German family name. May be you can post us a photo of the written family name. It could be helpful.

Hello Gerdan,

I can only help with a close up scan of the grave. The Photo has only written the date of death on the back
Thanks for the help

Really, it is very difficult to read the family name.

Please enlighten us why it must be a german family name?

It is nevertheless hard to say what is written there, could be Hallste...?

As for the ring, it looks like a private purchase Fingerring with a Totenkopf symbol, not official and not exclusive ss, these were worn by Wehrmacht men as well. This is not to be confused with the SS-Ehrenring which was a present given to some ss men by Himmler.

Nice small grouping!

Cheers

Hi

I would wager the first photo is of his first communion.

Hi Fritz,
I think it is impossible to find a family name in Germany written with the letter "i" followed by the letter "y" as in "Haiyte".

Gerdan,
there are such names. They are mainly of foreign origin like dutch names; "van der Heiyde" is one example that you will find in germany. They are not uncommon in germany, just like polish, czech, italian, french, dutch or danish names.

To find a ss man with a "foreign" surname is not unusual, look at "Kaminski" for a polish name or "Simon" for a hebrew name.

I once had a polish g'friend whose surname was B A R A N O W S K A; female version of the name of an SS camp commandant named BARANOWSKI. and of course if you visit any soldoier cemetary in germany today you see many polish names. the german/polish nexus is interesting.

Fritz,

I should have told that I also tried to find that name Haiyte in the recent German and Austrian phonebook - and have not been successful.

But I never denied that in Germany there are also existing a lot of names of foreign origin. That is not the question.
We are looking to find the name Haiyte.
