Hello! Here we have a rare very large garison size early Finn flag from my collection. It looks to be hand dyed. I am told that pre-independence this flag design was supposed to be a "celebration flag" representing finish culture and heritage while it actually represented the hopes and dreams of a free Finland someday. Post independence it was one of the short list of proposed flags to be the official state flag but never was. The actual first official Finnish flag was a simple solid red background with the lion design in the middle. That first state flag was relatively similar to the Soviet and the red Finn communist flag seen in the civil war and therefore was replaced by the current design after only eight months. This flag could cover a small room! There are letters sewn in of what I believe to be the makers initials, but can’t be sure.

large commemorative plaque to the completion of the Reich Chancellery in 1938.

Dedicated to the workers, this is a nice blackened cast iron plaque.

The inscription:

"In memory of the completion of the Reich Chancellery - Erstanden March 1938 to today Berlin the ninth January 1939 ".

Artist’s signature "A. Breker" rs.

Foundry marks for the Prussian mining and metallurgical AG Gliwice.

Dimensions 26.5 x 13.5 cm.

This was presented by Albert Speer, for the most deserving senior staff in the building.

Quite a big crack in the top left corner, which has been repaired, it just adds to it’s history.

Hi Guys,
Wonder your opinions on this grouping that I have just picked up. They are all awarded to one man, Hermann Disch, who rose through the ranks, Gefreiten 1939, Oberjager then Unteroffizier in October 1941. He started of in the 75th Infanterie Regiment & at some point transferred into the 229th Infanterie Regiment, would this have been an unusual thing, to transfer between regiments ? The signature on the Sudetenland medal is correct (left side General Major Herbert Geitner), the EK2 document should be signed by Joeseph Braunhen Von Haydringen, looks like he’s signed it as Brauner. The EK2 document appears original texture smell etc, so a bit confused, the 101st stamp is quite dark still & I can’t seem to see the indentation when viewed from the reverse, a light stamping then ? The Infantry Assault Badge document is signed by an Oberstleutnant of the 229th Infanterie Regiment & was originally for a bronze award but has been crossed out & replaced by ‘Silber’.
Regards
Paul

How can one trace, via German archives, the reason for the death of a diplomat who found refuge in Germany after 1940? Latvia secretary to their embassy in Berlin (from 1939 to 1940)…diplomat Alfreds Ezeriņš.
