| DESCRIPTION: Julian Scherner born September 23, 1895 – died April 28, 1945. His fame was as S.S. Oberführer. This was an early paramilitary rank of the S.S. dating back to 1921. Julian Scherner served the Reich from early Kampfzeit times. He became a S.S. Untersturmführer in 1933 and worked up through the years to S.S. Oberführer in 1937. He was a holder of the Iron Cross 2nd Class, the Honor Ring of the S.S., the War Merit Cross 2nd class with swords, the Deutsches Kreuz, the Wound Badge, the Honor sword of the S.S, the Coburg Badge, and last but most important the Blood Order. He was the commander of the S.S. Standarte Julius Schreck in 1934-1935. Then commander of S.S. Abschnitt XIV in 1937. In1939 he was in charge as commander of the Mountain Troop Regiment II (Reinhard Heydrich). Then January 1940 until January 1941 he was the commander of the S.S. Totenkopf Standarte 8. From January 1941 to August 1941 he was commander of the S.S. Truppenübungsplatz Böhmen. His final command was as S.S. and Police Leader of Krakow, Poland from August 1941 to March 1944. In this role he was responsible for overseeing of all evacuations that took place during his time there. Scherner became immortalized in the film “Schindler’s List” a dubious work of fiction. He is portrayed as the cold and calculating S.S. Commander of the region. Remember the victors write their history and fictions and they also excel in telling the history of the vanquished as well and does it really surprise us if the latter’s history might be a bit biased? We might also see some fiction mixed with fact thrown in to Embellish! (Gild the Lily so to speak!). The wooden bread plate is probably the finest ever offered on any site or military show in the present or past. The carving is exquisite! With the Sonnenrad Finally we come to the “Odal Rune” at 10:00. This symbol symbolized kinship and family and bringing together of people of similar blood or race. It was adopted by the S.S. race and resettlement office (R.U.S.A.) and was used by the S.S. Freiwilligen Gebirgs (mountain) Division “Prinz Eugene”. The center design of course is the “Sonnenrad” or sunwheel swastika and was an ancient Norse representation of the life giving sun. This symbol was adopted by the 5th S.S. Panzer Division “Wiking”. Now back to the bread plate. It was customary among N.S. inspired patriots to present something deeply symbolic to a person the giver wished to honor. This usually came down to a sword, a dagger, a book, or a ring. But the most revered item given out especially among the S.S. was always the” bread plate”. Bread had special significance among the faithful because it was the staff of life. It was mentioned in N.S. sayings such as “brot und arbeit” (bread and work). “Hitler gibt arbeit und brot” (Hitler gave us work and bread). Bread was (sacrosanct) and it only follows that bread plates were the choice for presentation to those who would be specially honored. This plate was presented by the S.S. Wachtmannshaft or Guard Staff to Oberführer SS> Julian Scherner when he paid a visit to (KL) concentration camp Auschwitz in 1942. Carved into the back of the plate are the words “SS Oberführer Scherner Zur Erinnerung an den Besuch im K.L. Auschwitz im Januar 1942” Translated this means – To: Oberführer Scherner in memory of his visit to concentration camp Auschwitz in January 1942. A crack can be seen across the bottom half of the plate but it must have been expertly repaired at one time. It cannot even be seen from the front. A hanging wire has been added to the back. This is without a single doubt one of the most important historical items we have ever offered and the beauty of it is obvious. A masterpiece of wood carving with practically no rival that we have ever seen, and of course its historical importance is eminently presented.PRICE: $3,850.00 |

A Document Concerning the False Use of Identification by a Released Polish KZ Inmate (Item CAMPS 1-12; SS 33-9) |
||||
| DESCRIPTION:
Here's a document dated July 4, 1942 it is from the head office of the German railroad administration in Goschwitz a town near Jena famous for cement production. It is signed by the high inspector for the Reichsbahn in full cooperation with the SS and is so stamped. It comes from the work section of the R.R. Administration. It passed through the office of the commandant of the SD. Heydrich, s office and bears their stamp. It refers to a telephonic communication regarding a requisition regarding a”Aushilfarbeiter” (helping worker). The director requests that information be sent to him about the “Einsatzkarte” (false ID) and recommends an investigation into the Polish nationals who were accused to be conducted by the Geheime staats Polizei (Gestapo). Into the “Gebrauch” usage of this false identification. The man's name was “Thomas Wanat”. The director asked for a prompt reply to this request. It is signed by the Reichsbahn Ober-inspektor “the chief inspector”. The piece is mounted in a double glass frame with a window at the back that shows an official reply shown as stamped and received by the Bahnmeister at Goschwitz it says the false pass-card for Thomas Wanat is by us “Vernichtworden” (Quashed) as improper. And further privileges and qualifications as seen in his workbook are now to be immediately “halted”. The filing with the attachment is enclosed along with an application. The Mayor of Goschwitz is also notified. And then there is some information about the work detail section. This document has a clear stamp of the SS Wirtschaftverwaltungshauptamt with N.S. Eagle And the signature of an SS overseer (Glaser) there are some penciled notes at the top of the document. There is a Gestapo Badge (Disc) of authority encased in the frame. We assumed it to be a good reproduction but the consignor claims it is authentic? We told him our opinion and he claims that no extra value will be incurred for this appurtenance because he acquired it from a veteran for a “Song” but it sure does look great in there. A magnificent framing work was accomplished here with the window in the back. With frame it measures 18 x 15 1/2 the actual document measures 8 x 5 1/2 inches. We would say it's a prodigiously important document indeed.
PRICE: $750.00 but what if the disc is real? |
