Kai Winkler, more-or-less carefully 'planted' the information into the market
about 3 years ago that he had just bought the group of a commander of the
12. SS-Pz. Division 'Hitlerjugend'.
In my case I talked to him one day, mentioning that I had just bought some
items from the estate of a Sepp Dietrich family member. He immediately started
talking about his latest purchase, mentioning to many, many items.
He offered me to visit him, but turned me down a couple of time when on
visit in Germany. Never had time. Avoiding me?
When I wanted to buy several hi-end documents, he told me straight to
go with my money elsewhere...
I heard from several people here on WAF who haven't posted that he did
the same 'game' of heating up the market, not selling and increasing mistique
with many others. It was all very, very exlusive and he would not want to
sell, he wanted 'to keep and enjoy' this group, as he put it.
In the meantime the market heated up. And everybody who called him
or visited his shop in the past always heard e.g. that he had just gotten
it the day before!
That's the MO: Creating desire and exclusivity to have better-off customers
shell out the money to satisfy their egos (I include myself).
I'm a dedicated LAH collector, as many here know, but this group is way
too contaminated to ever be desireable for my standards.
Btw, the whole case also shows how rare such groups are!

maybe for the sake of the true items, if there are any, if somebody knows beyond a doubt which are they, they should be listed
Myabe as SS3 said some itmes are outthere that belonged to Witt, but which are they amongs all this krapola!!!Last edited by Spanish Freiwillige; 07-16-2012, 05:00 PM.

Originally posted by rob NL View PostI talked briefly to Kelly, he is on a vacation. I will ask again how it happened. Maybe I'm mistaken.
Kelly knows his SS stuff also, so I am not worried.
More to follow.
Hi Rob,
Have you taked to Kelly again after his vacations?
Does he still feel comftable with the story he was told,
the picker claiming the complete JSB tunic of Brosow had
survived in the attic together with an M43 field cap and
an officer's belt?
All these uniform items always get found after the
original owners have past naturally...
I still feel that tunic looks a lot like the set Winkler had
for sale about 11-12 years ago...
