INK SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH OF NSDAP REICHLEITER AND INTERIOR MINISTER WILHELM FRICK.
The photograph shows Wilhelm Frick in his NSDAP party leaders uniform with peak cap and clearly wearing his blood order medal below his right pocket. Good clear signature of Frick. Post card size so perfect for display. Wilhelm Frick was born on the 12.3.1877, he was an early member of the NSDAP and at the time of the Munich Putsch he was head of the Munich Kriminalpolizei and as such he was deeply implicated in the Putsch and he was arrested soon after. Adolf Hitler selected him on January the 30th 1933 to serve in his Government as Minister of the interior from 1933 until 1943, he was then made the Governor of Bohemia and Moravia and he held this position until 1945. After the end of the war he was arrested and put on trial at Nuremberg, found guilty of War crimes and executed on the 16.10.1946. Near mint.

The male doll is dress as an SS man wearing black kepi with small silver eagle and swastika badge, brown shirt with black collar patches and swastika arm band complete with black belt with swastika buckle and cross strap with black neck tie.

The female doll is wearing traditional Bavarian costume with black cloth hat, brown dress and ornate apron with red silk belt, she is wearing a metal swastika pendant suspended from her neck. The female doll has a slight bruise to the right side of her face, (she must have been a real street fighter in the battle against the reds in the kampzeitze), the male SS doll is perfect. Exc++

U.BOAT U.615 CAPTAINS TURTLE PAPPERWEIGHT.
A superb large hand carved wooden turtle paperweight belonging Captain Kapitzky who was the commander of U.615. The turtle was the official mascot of U.boat 615. The base of the tortoise has a presentation inscription, U-615 KPTLT RALPH KAPITZKY 3-U.FI 1.9.1942. Comes with a photocopy photograph of Captain Kapitzky and some research. Kapitanleutnant Kapitzky served in the Kreigsmarine from 1935 until his death as Captain of U.615 in 1943 during an Allied aerial operation against the U-boat which was actually the longest lasting attack by aircrafts on a U-boat during WW2, the battle lasting over one week.

The black celluloid grip is in mint condition. the hilt of the sword still retains 100% gilt finish, crossguard features closed wing army eagle and swastika and the knuckle bow and backstrap are decorated with a floral design, very impressive. The blade is in mint condition and the reverse side is stamped with the Alcoso Solingen 1941 pattern trade mark.

A PAIR OF THIRD REICH MOTOR RACING AWARD RIBBONS FOR 1934 AND 1936 CONTESTS.
A pair of long red silk ribbons with bow to the top of each and with bullion fringe to the ends. Both ribbons display a large black swastika in white circle and then silver inscription for the victor of the 1934 and 1936 motor racing contests which I believe was for motorbike racing. These long silk ribbons were probably attach to a large floral wreath that would have been presented to the winner of each of the races. Most unusual, although I have had similar silk ribbons for Third Reich funerals this is the fist time I have had any for motor racing. These would look great displayed with an NSKK collection or a collection of motor racing memorabilia. Exc++
