This is the highlight of my collection and wanted to share with everyone. Sadly I also am forced to sell it to pay for a heat-pump so will be listing on Estand at some point, no idea what to ask. I am thinking it's value should be in the $1500 range but please correct if I am off base.
This is a typical sad story that many German parents dealt with, a young son being called to the flag, and never coming home again. Helmut fell during fierce and overwhelming Russian attacks that occurred right after Kursk was halted. The WP just says died in hospital, no other details given. He was awarded the EK2 for Kursk, and it was send to his family after his death.
The group has a mint WP, Large, very rare portrait photo, pab and ek award docs, signed by Possel and Hornlein, death memorial from company he worked for, and letters sending items home to parents. I also have a notebook in which he wrote down panzer school related lessons.
Please enjoy:
