Hello Karl S.,
I will write somewhat to the SS Leibstandarte Album. I find the album in the book "SS Regalia" from Robin Lumsden. Out of it I have the information, that it was produced in January 1943 and should only contain 12 photographic prints.

Are there double photographics in your album?
Another question from me: How was the foil/membrane fixed on this album (with adhesive tape)?

Regards Dagaz

Hi Dagaz,
Prints are different and all marked and all the same quality. There are 15 of them, maybe Robin's album is missing 3 prints? The clear cover on the outside of the album is held together with tape but isn't taped to the black cover. Here's a title list of all the prints;

1-Combat Engineers crossing the Marne
2-Flak fights Bolshevik resistance battle
3-Infantry besieges a pocket of residence in Taganrog
4-Heavy infantry weapons in a battle around a Soviet village
5-Stormtroopers group in battle around Rostow
6-Artillery battle at Klisura Pass
7-Infantry in house to house combat around Mariupol
8-General Dietrich accepts the surrender of the Greek Epirus and Mazedonien Armies
9-Between battle
10-The daring crossing of Padras
11-I the middle of a difficult counter-attack of the winter
12-Motorcycle group moving forward
13-The letter from home
14-Infantry in attack on Mariupol
15-With geballter cargo goes a Soviet tank

... maybe Robin's album is missing 3 prints? ...

Hello Karl,
that's maybe possible, perhaps another collector can say something about the number of photographic prints.

However I should like to say: A really nice album in a great condition.

Thanks for the photo from Mariupol. Can you post the photo № 7 - "Infantry in house to house combat around Mariupol"?
