Signatures of Waffen SS Knights Cross Winners

Attached is a programme from a meeting of the Regiment Kameradschaft DF which took place in Lenggries some years ago.
It shows the signatures of Swords Winners Otto Kumm , Otto Weidinger , Vestel Stadler plus a photo of DF Ritterkreuztrager Sepp Lainer.

These photos were all signed at the meeting and the programme was given to me by Otto Kumm the last Waffen SS General.

Another rusted M35 wired

Hi Guys,
Well this is another rusted relic, some people think that the wire and white camo were done post war but all I can tell you is that they been there for the last 60 yrs. This helmet was originally painted in Luft. Blue and the repainted whith a sick type of paint.I tried cleaning it with Oxalic Acid but the helmet was already to rusted and chuncks of metal started to fall off so I stoped. In order to stop the rusting process I gave it a coat of Matt clear lacquer.:(
Helmet was found in a collapsed bunker under a bunch of wood logs, it seems that belong to a radio comunication unit since radio components were found around. According to the digger there were other bunkers close by, all Items belong to a Luft div. since other helmets were found with the same color.

Unusual armband

Hi guys,

This is from the same guy with that wooden swastika: http://warrelics.eu/forum/german-thi...html#post41959

He got them from Hermannstadt, a German town of Siebenburgen county, known in the language of the natives like Ardeal, nowadays part of Romania. Siebenburgen/Ardeal, is also known as Transilvanya. :p

In my naive opinion, this could have been used by the local German organizations. I found nothing in my "Foreign Legions of the Third Reich" books.

What do you think?
