3 ss photos - tolz / viking / panzer from Estand

Hi Gents,

I have noticed these photos selling on E-stand.
As I remember, these are well known fakes occasionally sold at eBay etc. with the stamps "Погашено". Correct me if I am wrong.

Correct. So called "Russian Archive" photos

I don't recognize the first photo, the one with the sentry. But the second one is from Ernst Baumann's archive, and was distributed to Wiking veterans after the war for use in various books. It is from Cholm during May 1944 (see the book KG Mühlenkamp for more details). The third photo shows Ernst August Krag, and is from his personal archive. I have a copy of his collection, including that image, which shows him with SS-Stug. Abt. 2 during the summer of 1943. Definitely not archived photos, but private veteran ones.

The first one can be found in the (so called) estate of Horst Gresiak.

These are all postwar copies anyway.
