    Funerary cross Waffen SS "Normandy"

    Hi gentlemen

    This spectacular dunerary cross SS,
    Built in two left.
    Collected immediately after the fights. She would never have been used.
    No paint but stamp engraving.

    Found in 1990 near Airan, country Calvados/Normandy.
    Post Commandeur 12SS Hj summer 1944

    That's not the usual death rune-shaped type used by the Waffen-SS.

      Hi,

      grave of SS-Oberscharführer Helmut Belke, killed during the night of June 8 to 9, 1944. He was probably buried on June 9, 1944 by the division in the Rots area.

        That piece of wood is supposedly 70 years old
        Its remarkable that the paint has remained in tact after all that time
        Hmmmmmmmm ......
        Regards

          It is not of the paint, it's engraved or marked under heat, as on the cattle.

          Never cleaned






          And for exemple :
          1943


          1939

            Any chance you could take a photo showing the entire piece? I have no problem with the wood, but it is difficult to make a fair assessment based on partial photos...

              Attacking this cross based on the condition of the wood is ludicrous!
              What about all the mint badges, daggers and uniforms? They are as old as the cross and have evidently survived much better.

                Totally agree, not to mention all the other wooden signs, boxes, crates, carts etc etc that have been found in barns, attics and houses over the years with their original paint in far better condition
