RARE wound badge award dated , marked & signed Himmler & Hitler for the attemps of assassination of the Fuhrer

only a few were made, given to the wehrmacht and SS that were on site.

On 20 July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg and other conspirators attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Führer of Nazi Germany, inside his Wolf's Lair field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia, now Kętrzyn, in present-day Poland. The name Operation Valkyrie—originally referring to part of the conspiracy—has become associated with the entire event.

The apparent aim of the assassination attempt was to wrest political control of Germany and its armed forces from the Nazi Party (including the SS) and to make peace with the Western Allies as soon as possible. The details of the conspirators' peace initiatives remain unknown,[3][4][5] but they would have included unrealistic demands for the confirmation of Germany's extensive annexations of European territory.

The plot was the culmination of efforts by several groups in the German resistance to overthrow the Nazi German government. The failure of the assassination attempt and the intended military coup d'état, or putsch, that was to follow led the Gestapo to arrest more than 7,000 people, 4,980 of whom were executed

RARE Waffen SS Heinrich Himmler CHRISTMAS book made for SS & Police Personel 1943/44 Deutsches Weihnachtsbuch 1943

Superb piece.
Very rare Christmas book issued to SS men and their families. This is the harder to find winter '43/'44 version. The Reichsführer-SS, SS-Hauptamt (Main Office) in Berlin was responsible for the publication and distribution each year of a book called the Deutsches Weihnachtsbuch (German Christmas book). The books were printed either by the SS’ own publisher, Nordland Verlag in Berlin or F. Bruckmann in München (Munich) and sent out to the families of SS officers and SS men prior to Christmas. The 8-3/8 x 10-1/4 inch, 100+ page, very heavily illustrated softcover books always bear the imprint of the Reichsführer-SS (Heinrich Himmler) and the SS-Hauptamt in Berlin, Germany. This 1943/44 SS Christmas book has 104 heavily illustrated multi-color pages. There are words and music to SS and German songs, color photos, runic graphics, woodcuts, patriotic and pure-blood poems, Christmas stories, Nazi history, quotes from Adolf Hitler, soldier stories, mother and children material, etc. It also contains a full-page Krenzer pencil portrait of the Führer and considerable East Front content. This original 70+ year old example of the 1943/44 Christmas book for SS and Police personnel published by Nordland Verlag in Berlin is among the best we have been able to purchase in the last 25 years. It is in excellent, near-new condition. Very good condition and beautifully illustrated. The perfect display item with a Julleuchter. a copy document is included as bonus.

Waffen SS early Wewelsburg shield award from Himmler SS school - marked

Wewelsburg is a Renaissance castle located in the village of Wewelsburg, which is a district of the town of Büren, Westphalia, in the Landkreis of Paderborn in the northeast of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The castle has a triangular layout, with three round towers connected by massive walls. After 1934 it was used by the SS under Heinrich Himmler, and was to be expanded into a complex which would serve as the central SS cult-site.

After 1941, plans were developed to enlarge it to be the so-called "Centre of the World". In 1950, the castle reopened as a museum and youth hostel. (The youth hostel is one of the largest in Germany.)
The castle today hosts the Historical Museum of the Prince Bishopric of Paderborn and the Wewelsburg 1933–1945 Memorial Museum.
