I spoke to a lady last weekend who has a few interesting things passed down from her family, tapestry, Julleuchter and a few other bits and pieces which include a minty condition Weitzel book, so one more for the count!

thanks for re-suirfacing this old thread Steve!

I'm still jealous that Tony feels he must hoard 4 of these books!

I've been doing more research into Rusha and personnel files of specific ss men and I have made a surprising discovery (at least it seems that way to me!) Many of the grooms and wives are actually listed as gottglaubig. I was really shocked to see the higher than thought frequency of this description.

A thought I had was that it was listed for promotion potential or a desire to fit in, esp amongst the officer ranks - that is how widespread it appeared to me to be - but granted - and admittedly - I do not have a large enough sample size to really declare that to be a final conclusion. It just struck me that way upon further research!

A book hoarder huh! Just spotted two more he can buy as well, two in the HH auction this time around.

You are keeping busy researching then

Edit: One offered by Ulric recently as well, in the dagger section.

I heard that there are two different versions of the Family Celebrations book.

one with the price of 1 RM and one without any price.

Which one is harder to find?
