Hello,
A little treasure recently discovered in the depths of my collection. This is as far from anything routine that I have in my collection, I have to turn to you for help.
It is a complete personnel file w/photo and other items from a submariner who was imprisoned in Phoenix, Arizona at the Papago Park Prison Camp, noted for being the camp which had the "Great Escape". Approximately 20 submariners from this camp tunneled their way out and attempted to escape to a river which of course was dry.
All were recaptured. This fellow may be one of the escapees. I have not had the time to research it.
None the less, a very rare and desirable item for a Kreigsmarine/Submarine collector I am sure.
Any opinions of a fair price are welcome.
Thank you,
Vince
