In World War I, Field Marshal Foch, the Allied commander in chief, could not be found when a military conference was about to start. An officer friend said, I think I know where he might be. Foch was found praying nearby at a bombed-out chapel. Abraham Lincoln once said, I would be the greatest fool on earth if I did not realize that I could never satisfy the demands of the high office without the help of One who is greater and stronger than I am. General Lee and Stonewall Jackson and countless others in the Confederate Army were committed to personal prayer time daily .. King David realized this truth too. Although he was a powerful king, he daily acknowledged his dependence on someone far greater and stronger than he was. Not only did King David begin each day depending on the Lord, but he waited expectantly throughout the day to see how God would work on his behalf.

When we don't pray, we quit the fight.
Prayer keeps the Christian's armor bright.
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.

ANOTHER RARE IMPRESSIVE WWII Battle Damaged US Lend Lease M3 STUART Light TANK Large Size Panel DATA PLATE ! ( Recovered Historic STALINGRAD )

Here is a spectacular relic that I almost did not offer for sale. An incredible piece of history. A battlefield blown up Stuart Tank Data Plate with direct horrific battle damage from a Lend-Lease M3 Light Tank that was found at Historic Stalingrad. ! The M3 Stuart and all of its variants were used in many different fronts in WWII including the Pacific, Eastern Front, and the Western Front. Some of the battles it fought in include the Battle of Guadalcanal and The Breakout from Normandy operations that followed D-Day. Other operations included those in North Africa, where the M3 served under British forces. Some British soldiers nicknamed it Honey. The M3 gained a good reputation under British forces and it not only served with them in North Africa and Normandy, but in Burma. In the Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 2 February 1943) Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in Southern Russia. Marked by fierce close-quarters combat and direct assaults on civilians in air raids, it is one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare, with an estimated 2 million total casualties. After their defeat at Stalingrad, the German High Command had to withdraw considerable military forces from other theaters of war to replace their losses.
The German offensive to capture Stalingrada major industrial and transport hub on the Volga River that ensured Soviet access to the Caucasus oil wellsbegan in August 1942, using the 6th Army and elements of the 4th Panzer Army. The attack was supported by intense Luftwaffe bombing that reduced much of the city to rubble. The battle degenerated into house-to-house fighting as both sides poured reinforcements into the city. By mid-November, the Germans, at great cost, had pushed the Soviet defenders back into narrow zones along the west bank of the river.
On 19 November, the Red Army launched Operation Uranus, a two-pronged attack targeting the weaker Romanian and Hungarian armies protecting the 6th Army's flanks.The Axis. flanks were overrun and the 6th Army was cut off and surrounded in the Stalingrad area. Adolf Hitler was determined to hold the city at all costs and forbade the 6th Army from attempting a breakout; instead, attempts were made to supply it by air and to break the encirclement from the outside. Heavy fighting continued for another two months. At the beginning of February 1943, the Axis forces in Stalingrad, having exhausted their ammunition and food, surrendered after five months, one week, and three days of fighting.

Nice Dug Relic Parts Lot of Rare Weapons ! Battlefield Dug Relic Wehrmacht German WEAPONS RELATED collectible Parts Lot ! - MG 42 feed tray, MG Magazines, Rifle Sights, Blown off sniper scope piece, MG 42 parts, K98 and Rifle Bits and Pieces.( Recovered Surrender Site of German Army Group North )

Wow here is a chance to own a fantastic relic artifact from a selection of RARE GERMAN Weapons related that were recovered at theKurland Pocket battlefield area. At the start of Operation Barbarossa in 1941, Courland, along with the rest of the Baltic, was overrun by Army Group North headed by Field Marshal Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb. In 1944, the Red Army lifted the siege of Leningrad and re-conquered the Baltic area along with much of Ukraine and Belarus. However, some 200,000 German troops held out in Courland. With their backs to the Baltic Sea. they were trapped in what became known as the Courland Pocket, blockaded by the Red Army and the Red Baltic Fleet. Colonel-General Heinz Guderian, the Chief of the German General Staff, insisted to Adolf Hitler that the troops in Courland should be evacuated by sea and used for the defense of Germany. Hitler refused, and ordered the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine forces in Courland to continue the defence of the area. Hitler believed them necessary to protect Kriegsmarine submarine bases along the Baltic coast. On January 15, 1945, Army Group Courland (Heeresgruppe Kurland) was formed under Colonel-General Dr. Lothar Rendulic The blockade by elements of the Leningrad Front remained until May 8, 1945, when the Army Group Courland, then under its last commander, Colonel-General Carl Hilpert, surrendered to Marshal Leonid Govorov, the commander of the Leningrad Front (reinforced by elements of the 2nd Baltic Front) on the Courland perimeter. At this time the group consisted of the remnants of some 31 divisions. After May 9, 1945, approximately 203,000 troops of Army Group Courland began moving to Soviet prison camps in the East. The majority of them never returned to Germany.

RARE Lot of Wehrmacht Relics ID'd GAS MASK and CANNISTER with Instruction slip ! and AMMO POUCH from positions of the1st SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler
( Recovered Stavelot )

Here is a spectacular condition, ID'D Wehrmacht possibly 1st SS gas mask and cannister and ammo pouch all recovered together from the Stavelot area. The gas mask cannister still has the instruction sheet included as well as being ID'd on the inner compartment. A nice complete lot as recovered priced low !The 1st SS Panzer Division LeibstandarteAdolf Hitler was to be the spearhead of the assault in the north. A battle-hardened unit, the Leibstandarte was filled with both young, green troops, and combat veterans in almost equal number. Equipped with a vast array of armored vehicles from tanks to mobile flak vehicles, the 1st SS was a formidable foe for any unit opposing them. The spearhead of the spearhead, so to speak, was a unit that would become synonymous with the Ardennes offensive, Kampfgruppe Peiper. Named after its commanding officer, Jochen Peiper, Kampfgruppe Peiper was the most powerful force in the entire German offensive in the north.In the initial days of the offensive,KampfgruppePeiper rolled through the Ardennes like a slow-moving train. Delayed by roads not suitable for tanks and the stout defense of locations such as Lanzerath, Ligneuville, and Stavelot, Peiper and hisKampfgruppenevertheless achieved many of their objectives by December 18, 1944. Poised on the opposite bank of the Amblve River, Peiper forced his way across the river and rolled past Stavelot, never fully securing the town, determined to make his way out of the Amblve Valley and across the Meuse. Pressed for time, Peiper ordered his rear-guard units to eliminate the Americans in Stavelot and follow his advance, an order that would eventually seal his fate.By December 19, the surprise of the German assault had worn off. No longer were American units fleeing the field of battle in front of their enemy. The American defenses had stiffened considerably. Peiper and his men had run into blown bridge after blown bridge, and roadblock after roadblock, all of which were beginning to show on the ammunition, and more importantly, fuel supplies of theKampfgruppe.Two days earlier, on December 17, an order had been issued to the veteran American 30th Infantry Division to deploy into position in the vicinity of Eupen, to block the thrust of Kampfgruppe Peiper and prepare to form and hold a defensive line from Malmedy to the small town of Stoumont. By nightfall on December 18, elements of the 119th Infantry Regiment were deployed in and around Stoumont while elements of the 117th Infantry Regiment had set up road blocks and recaptured half of the town that Peiper had ignored, Stavelot. With support from the 743rd Tank Battalionand the 118th Field Artillery, the American infantrymen in Stavelot prepared for an attack the next morning that, if successful, would cut off Jochen Peiper from the rest of theLeibstandarteand effectively cut the head offthe snake on the Northern Shoulder. The Americans in Stoumont sat and waited. Recon patrols sent out that night had run into Peipers outposts. Seeing enemy Panther tanks in bivouac and hearing multiple voices in German, the defenders of Stoumont knew they had a fight on their hands come morning.As for Peiper and his men, on the night of the 18th and into the early hours of the 19th, hisKampfgruppepaused just outside the small town of Stoumont. Aware that American infantry was in Stoumont, but unaware of their strength, Peiper wisely chose to wait until morning to conduct his assault on the town. If successful in capturing Stoumont and defending Stavelot, Peiper would be able to break out of the Ambleve Valley, acquire American fuel, and continue his drive to the Meuse with wide open roads ahead.An incredibly thick blanket of fog hung low over Stoumont and the Amblve valley on the morning of December19. But even through the fog, American observers on the outskirts of Stoumont could see that a sizable attack was about to commence. Radio reports from outposts counted 15 German tanks and hundreds of infantrymen forming up on the road outside Stoumont.A paltry German artillery barrage announced the beginning of the assault, and within minutes the first German infantry attacked the roadblock at the entrance of Stoumont village. The previous night, the infantrymen of the 119th had been reinforced with towed tank destroyers as well as three 57mm anti-tank guns and two 90mm anti-aircraft weapons that were deployed as anti-tank weapons. These weapons were used in the attemptto stop the oncoming German armor, to no effect. The first shots either flat out missed the targets or ricocheted off the heavy German frontal armor. The American TD gunners attempted to fire off more rounds at the Panthers but were soon overrun by SSPanzergrenadiersslowly moving up the road and into the village.

RARE WW2 German WAFFEN-SS MG-42 / MG-34 AMMO BOX Ammunition Belt Feed CAN - Painted SS ( Recovered TANNENBERG LINE Eastern Front )

Wow here is another cool relic from the upstate NY Estate collection. An SS painted MG-42 / MG-34 Ammo Can.
The Soviet vanguard 201st and 256th Rifle Divisions attacked the Tannenberg Line and captured part of the Orphanage Hill, the easternmost of the area. The Anti-Tank Company, SS Panzergrenadier Regiment 24 Danmark returned the hill to the hands of the Narwa the following night. The III (Germanic) SS Panzer Corps repulsed subsequent Soviet attempts to capture the hills by tanks on the following day. The SS Reconnaissance Battalion 11 and the I.Battalion, Waffen Grenadier Regiment 47 (3rd Estonian) launched a counterattack during the night before 28 July. The assault collapsed under the Soviet tank fire which destroyed the Estonian battalion. In a pitched battle carried over to the next day without a break in the fighting, the two Soviet armies forced Narwa into new positions at the Grenadier Hill, the central one
The climax of the Battle of Tannenberg Line was the Soviet attack of 29 July. The shock units suppressed the German resistance on the Orphanage Hill, while the Soviet main forces suffered heavy casualties in the subsequent assault at the Grenadier Hill. The Soviet tanks encircled it and the Tower Hill, the westernmost one. Steiner, the commander of the III SS Panzer Corps, sent out the remaining seven tanks, which hit the surprised Soviet armour and forced them back. This enabled an improvised battle group led by Hauptsturmfhrer Paul Maitla to launch a counterattack which recaptured the Grenadier Hill. Of the 136,830 Soviets initiating the offensive on 25 July, a few thousand had remained fit for combat by 1 August. The Soviet tank regiments had been demolished.
With swift reinforcements, the two Soviet armies continued their attacks. The Stavka demanded the destruction of the Narwa and the capture of Rakvere by 7 August. The 2nd Shock Army was back to 20,000 troops by 2 August while numerous attempts using unchanged tactics failed to break the multinational defence of the Narwa. Leonid Govorov, the commander of the Leningrad Front terminated the offensive on 10 August.

SPECTACULAR FIND ! 100% Authentic Wehrmacht Tactical Sign Pointer Cut Sections of the 102. Infanterie Div. G.R. 84 Grenadier Regiment
INSIGNIA EAGLE Motif and Tactical Unit Symbols - Incredible Battle Honors Include Kursk, ( Recovered Braunsberg )

Fantastic Find a pair of battlefield dug relic sections cut from a tactical sign of the wehrmacht 102 Infanterie Div. Grenadier Unit. These would like incredible in an eastern front display !The division was formed on 15 December 1940 inWehrkreisII (Mecklenburg/Pomerania), in the 12th mobilisation wave, using elements of the8th Infantry Divisionand the28th Infantry Division. The division fought on theEastern Front, for much of its existence it was part of theNinth Armyassigned toArmy Group Centre.On 25 November 1942 the Soviets simultaneously launched attacks against the eastern, western and northern flanks of the German Rzhev salient, known asOperation Mars. North of the Osuga River, the 102nd successfully repelled repeated assaults by 20,000 infantry and over 100 tanks of three Soviet 31st Army divisions (The 31st Army led its attack with the 88th, 336th, and 239th Rifle Divisions, supported by the 332d and 145th Tank Brigades). Soviet infantry clad in winter white advanced in echelon, their ranks interspersed with supporting tanks. German artillery, machine guns, and small arms fire tore gaping holes in the ranks of the assaulting infantry as antitank weapons picked off the accompanying tanks. For three days and at a cost of more than half of their riflemen and most of their tanks, the Soviets hurled themselves in vain at the 102nd Division's prepared defenses. Faced with this determined resistance, the 31st Army's assault collapsed, and, despite Zhukov's and Konev's exhortations, it could not be revived.In 1943 it was involved inOperation Citadel(the Battle of Kursk) and its aftermath, losing much of its strength in a series of fierce defensive battles aroundOrel; by October it was listed as assigned to theSecond Armyand reduced toKampfgruppelevel. In January 1944, the division was assigned to the Ninth Army, covering its southern flank in thePripet Marshes. It avoided the disastrous encirclement and destruction of much of the Ninth Army aroundBobruiskin late June during the SovietOperation Bagration, and was then assigned back to the Second Army, holding a line of defence along theRiver Narew.The Soviet army'sEast Prussian Offensive, from 13 January 1945 onwards, broke the under-strength division, which was pushed north and trapped in theHeiligenbeil pocket, being reassigned to theFourth Army. In February it held the perimeter nearMehlsack, before being assigned to defendBraunsberguntil it fell on 20 March. A few troops broke through westwards and eventually surrendered to the Americans inSchleswig-Holstein: the other encircled divisional elements in thekessel(cauldron) were eventually taken over by the28th Jger Division, being involved in the final defence of the Kahlholzer HakenpeninsulaatBalga.



12 December 1940 - formed as part of the 12thWavein theWehrkreis VIIIfrom 1/3 of the8. Infanterie Division 1/3 of the28.Infanterie Division. The Division was subordinated to theXX Korps/11th Armyuntil March 1941, went to the Army reserve in April and joined theII Korps/ 11th Army in May until the start of the Russian campaign.

August 1941 - attached toXXXX (Mot) Korpswith256th Infantry Divisionin the3rd Panzergruppewhere it remained until the start of September. During the operation Typhoon the 102nd was underXXIII Korps(Gen der Infanterie Schubert) along with 206th, 251st 256th Infantry Divisions in the 9th Army. The Korps main responsibility was to defend the armies northern flank as it advanced. By November 7th the Korps was 3km west of Drygoma-3km Northwest of Beresuk-Selisharovo. By December 5th the XXIII Korps front was anchored on its left flank by the Sseliger-See, whilst its right flank abutted that ofVI Korpsnear Kalinin.

January 1942 - encircled south of Lake Volga withXXIII Korps(206th, 253rd SS Cavalry Brigadewith the 189th Stug Abt.) as some nine divisions of the Russian 29th 39th Armies pushed southward towards Rzhev. On January 22nd elements of the1st Panzer Division,Das Reich256th Infantry Divisionstruck eastward towards the XXIII Korps, whilst from the pocket the206th Infantry Divisionreinforced with men from the other infantry divisions, the 102nd inc. plus the SS and assault guns pushed westward. By midday on the 23rd both German forces met, thus cutting the Russian forces to the south.
1st June 1942 - the 84th Infantry Regiment from the 8th Jger Regiment arrived after originally being assigned to the division back in December 1941 (held in Army Army Group reserve). The Division had 4 infantry regiments until the 235th Regiment of the division was disbanded on July 20th 1942.
July 1942 - under 9th Army, the Division took part in Operation Seydlitz, the clearance of the rear area of Russian troops belonging mainly to the 39th Army and various Airborne units flown in to support it, after it had been trapped by German counter attacks the previous month. The 102nd formed part of the Western Group along with1st Panzer Division(Krueger) 110th Infantry Division(Gilbert). The Eastern group consisted of5th Panzer Division(Fehn) and a mixed Cavalry group under Meden. The opening day of the operation saw the newly arrived 84th Infantry Regiment make the most progress with a drive into the Luchessa sector. On July 7th the attack byXLVI Panzer Korpsadded momentum to the western groups assault and they broke the front of the 39th Army. By the end of July 7th the 39th Army was cut in two and starting to disintegrate. The 102nd along with 1st Panzer 86th Infantry attacked again on July 11th, compressing the 39th Army even further. Two days later the 39th Army surrendered. The Russian high command began offensive operations against the 9th Army. Its plan was for the Russian 20th Army to advance in the direction of Sychevka thus cutting off the defenders at Rzhev in their rear.4th August 1942 - the Russians attacked with 7 Rifle Divisions, quickly pushing aside the German XLVI Panzer Korps. During the night the Russians added to its attack force by committing 2 Tank Brigades and a Cavalry Corps. The German 9th Army responded by ordering 3 Panzer (1st, 2nd, 5th) Divisions plus 102nd/ VI Korps from their sectors to support the XLVI Panzer Korps. The operations ceased in October 1942 and the division became a part of theXXXIX Korpsuntil January 1943.March 1943 the division came from army reserve and continued operations under XX Korps/2. Panzer Armyfrom April to July. Participating in heavy defensive battles after the German retreat from Kursk the division saw action in the areas around Orel and Desna as part of XLVI Korps/ 9. Army andLVI Korps/ 2. Army. By late autumn the unit was reduced to Kampfgruppe strenght.Early 1944 - the division (XX Korps) absorbed the remains of the216th Infantry Division(destroyed during Kursk and autumn battles of 1943).June 1944 - part ofLV Korps/ 9th Army. The Korps, which included the292nd Infantry Division, defended a 114 km long section of the front. The 102nd had a Foxhole strength of 1180 (The highest within 9th Army on the eve of Operation Bagration) and an Infantry Strength of 4703, with a further 1130 acting as Korps/Army reserve. The 102nd itself managed to evade the worst of the Russian Operation Bagration in the summer of 1944, but as with most German formations of the time its divisional strength was only fictional. Operating at Kampfgruppe strength for the remainder of the war, the 102. Infanterie Division ended up with the East Prussian pocket.April 1945 small parts of the division broke through to Vorpommern and fought on as a Divisionsgruppe 102. The remains of the division were disbanded and absorbed into the28th Jager Division.5th May 1945 The Divisionsgruppe surrendered to the American forces.

EXTREMELY RARE WW2 Original German 116th PANZER TANK Div. WINDHUND Greyhound DIVISION Officers Hat INSIGNIA Device
( Recovered Aachen Battle Area ) Borsick Estate Collection

Here is a spectacular offering for sale. A very rare Panzer Division Hat Insignia of the WINDHUND Division of the 116th Panzer Division. This Insignia is extremely rare and was sewn or affixed to the side of the cap as seen in the photos.The 116thPanzer Divisionwas deployed in March 1944 in France from the remnants of the16th Panzer Grenadier Divisionand the179th Reserve Panzer Division.After being almost completely destroyed on theinvasionfront, the division fought in loss-making retreat battles in France and Belgium and reached Aachen on September 12, 1944, which had already been evacuated at that time.Aachen was between the first and second defensive position of the west wall and was the first German city that was attacked by the Allies.The 116th Panzer Division was tasked with defending the city.Following the division was toArnhemlaid.Then she took part in the fighting aroundAachen, in theHrtgenwald, on theBattle oftheBulgeand at theBattle of the Reichswald.The bulk of the division capitulated on April 14, 1945 before US troops in theRuhrkessel.Parts of the 116th Panzer Division, which had not been included in the Ruhrkessel, fought until April 21, 1945 in the Harz Mountains.

The 116th Division was constituted in theRhinelandandWestphaliaareas of western Germany in March 1944 from the remnants of the16thPanzergrenadier Division, and the179th ReservePanzer Division. The 16th had suffered heavy casualties in combat on theEastern Frontnear Stalingrad, and the 179th was a second-line formation that had been on occupation duty in France since 1943.
In 1944, it participated in opposing theNormandy landings, theBattle of Normandy, and was later trapped in theFalaise Pocket.The 116th then participated in the failedWacht am Rhein Operation in the Ardennes. On December 10, before the offensive, it was partly refitted, with 26Panzer IVand 43Panther tanksand 25Jagdpanzer IVtank destroyers (of which 13 were combat ready). However, it was still missing much of its organic transport.Initially stalled by resistance and then poor bridges in attacks to cross theOur RiveratLuetzkampenandOuren,it back-tracked to march throughBelgiumfromDasburgtoHouffalize.The division then fought its way as the middle spearhead of the advance on the Meuse from Samree toLa Rochethen heavy fighting atHottonandVerdennewhere it was turned back at its furthest advance in the Ardennes.Along with the2nd SS Panzer Division, it was responsible for holding the pocket open to allow German troops to escape. It managed to escape, although with only 600 infantry and 12 tanks intact.In October, it fought against American forces in theBattle of Aachen, with the town falling to the Americans on 21 October.It was moved to Dsseldorf for refitting. On 8 November, the division repulsed an attack from theU.S. 28th Infantry Divisionin theHrtgen Forestduring the largerBattle of Hrtgen Forest, recapturing the town of Schmidt,thus providing the name to the 28th of the Bloody Bucket Division.
It later held theAlliesat bay for other units to retreat, before being withdrawn over theRhinein March. It then opposed theU.S. Ninth Army's advance across the Rhine, thus stopping the planned Allied breakthrough as well as opposing OperationVarsity's airborne landings. With 2,800 men and 10 tanks against 50,000 Allied troops and supporting tanks, the division faced theU.S. 30th, theU.S. 35th, theU.S. 84th, the4th Canadianand theU.S. 8th Armored Divisions. On 18 April 1945, the majority of the division was forced to surrender to the U.S. Ninth Army, having been trapped in theRuhr Pocket. Remnants of the division continued to fight in theHarzmountains until 30 April, only surrendering after all of their resources had been exhausted. Free Shipping, Layaway Instalments available.

Battlefield Dug RELIC German Badge Lot ! WW2 Battlefield Dug Relic WEHRMACHT AWARDS Lot ! Included are Wehrmacht Flak Badge, Wound Badge with traces of Gilt Infantry Assault Badge, General Assault Badges, Luftwaffe, and Hat Insignia

Here is a nice lot of battlefield relic wehrmacht and Luftwaffe awards that are priced low to sell individually. These are from the Borsick and Huppman estate collections. Some are maker marked visible.In the middle of October 1944, about 500,000 soldiers -- 32 German divisions and the 20,000 men of the Latvian Nineteenth Division of the WaffenSS -- were cut off from the rest of the German army and encircled. To the east and the south was the Soviet army, to the north and the west -- the Baltic Sea. The Latvians called it Kurzemes katls, the Kurland kettle; the Germans called it Festung Kurland, Fortress Kurland. For the Nineteenth Division Kurland was truly the last stand. They took part in six major battles between October 12, 1944, and April 3, 1945. Together with the German army units they on the whole held the front line, keeping the Bolsheviks out of Kurland, until May 8, 1945, when Germany capitulated. These soldiers remained undefeated until the final moments of the war, im Felde unbesiegt, as the Germans say. In one of the last battles, Captain Miervaldis Adamsons' company in a single 24-hour period repelled seven attacks by the Russians, and after the battle the bodies of 400 fallen Soviet soldiers could be counted in front of the Latvians' unconquered positions. The Soviet High Command asked the commanders of the First and Second Baltic Fronts to take forceful action in Kurland, in order to drive the enemy from the northern sector of the Baltic Sea and free their units for more important positions on the Soviet-German front. The first attempt occurred on October 16, 1944, but was stopped in the area around Tukums. The next Soviet offensive took place on October 27, but met with strong resistance from the outset and did not result in any gains. November 20 saw another offensive, but the Germans and Latvians stabilized their defensive line, utilizing favorable geographic features. Equally unsuccessful were the final attempts of the First and Second Baltic Front Armies to liquidate the German Army Group Kurland in December of 1944 and February and April of 1945. Soviet documents show that Stalin threw division after division into the Kurland inferno, disregarding the appallingly high losses.

HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT Estate Lot - WW2 Presentation JAPANESE "Meatball" H.Q. FLAG to Lt. Col. Yamada of the 78th Infantry Regiment H.Q. - Imperial Japanese Army(

Captured by the US 128th Infantry Regiment - Driniumor River, NEW GUNEA - Lt. General Kane Yoshihara, Col. Matsumoto, Lt. Col. Yamada )


Here is an absolute incredible condition original veteran of the 128th US Infantry captured "presentation H.Q. flag" with notation in meatball that is extremely rare "Absolute Victory" The lot includes the captured flag, the photo, and the the provenance information with complete translation of text.On the night of 10/11 July, an assault force of around 10,000 Japanese attackeden masseacross the Driniumor.In support of this effort, they moved several 70mm and 75mm artillery pieces forward through the jungle.The Japanese attack plan had envisaged three regimentsthe78th,80thand the237thattacking simultaneously in a contiguous line abreast,on a front between Paup and Afua.Following a five-minute artillery bombardment, the attack began at 22:55 hours on 10 July.The initial attack was poorly coordinated, being hampered by to the terrain, which resulted in the 78th launching their assault 20 minutes before the 80th who were followed by the main elements of the 237th around 02:00 hours on 11 July. By 03:00 hours, the assault petered out, having gained about 1,300 yards (1,200m). A secondary attack began at around 05:00 hours when follow on elements of the Japanese 237th Infantry Regiment, along with supporting medical, staff and artillery personnel crossed the Driniumor. This secondary movement continued until around dawn when elements of the two main Japanese assault regimentsthe 78th and 80thbegan the process of reconstitution on an area of high ground about 800 yards (730m) northwest of the U.S. line. The 237th, whose commander, Colonel Nara, had become separated from his headquarters, took longer to reorganize.
Against the combined efforts of the three assaulting Japanese regiments, Companies E and G of the U.S.128th Infantry Regimentbore the brunt of the assault on 1011 July. They were supported by organic heavy machine gun and mortar fire, as well as indirect fire from the120thand129th Field Artillery Battalions, positioned in support along the eastern bank of the Driniumor. This massed firepower inflicted heavy casualties on the assaulting Japanese troops and destroyed large amounts of equipment including machine guns and indirect fire support weapons. Company G was largely able to hold its positions, anchored on the right by a supporting battalion from the127th Infantry Regiment, but Company E's line in the center collapsed under the pressure. At least 30 members of the company were killed or wounded, although some of the survivors, along with supporting detachments from Company H, were able to withdraw to Company F's lines on the U.S. left flank near the coast. Others remained behind Japanese lines for at least three days.

Despite suffering heavy casualties from machine guns and artillery, the Japanese troops in the initial assault pressed on and forced a major breach in the American line. In response, U.S. forces began withdrawing to delaying positions throughout 1112 July in an effort to prevent further Japanese advances.During the initial assault, the Japanese had succeeded in pushing through the center of the U.S. line, forcing a withdrawal about 3 miles (4.8km) west to an area around Koronal Creek and X-ray River; however, they were unable to take full advantage of the initial success due to supply and communications problems.In response, U.S. commanders ordered a counterattack and throughout 1314 July, U.S. forces worked to restore their line, closing a gap that had developed between the northern and southern forces.In support of the U.S. counterattack, at least three field artillery battalions of 105mm howitzers (the 120th, 129th and 149th) were committed, including one from the 31st Infantry Division (the 149th); of these the 129th and 149th were allocated to the northern force, while the 120th fired in support of the southern force. These fires were augmented across the front by one battalion of 155mm guns (the 181st).After a fighting withdrawal through the jungle that night, the U.S. defenders managed to regroup where possible and by the 13th were counterattacking to try to seal the breach. In support of this, two battalions of the U.S. 124th Infantry Regiment were committed to the fighting, disrupting the Japanese 237th Infantry Regiment's investment of the Paup villages, and resulting in further clashes around Tiver.

Rarely Seen For Sale ! Lot of Original Rare WW2 RUSSIAN MOLOTOV COCKTAIL Bottles with Labels Inert and ready for Display ( Recovered Historic Stalingrad )

Here is a chance to own an original authentic Russian Molotov Bottle that was recovered from Stalingrad. Incredible display relic of which many were destroyed. Labels still attached. These are sold individually.In 1939, the Soviets signed a non-aggression pact with Germany - and the two nations proceeded to bringmuch of Eastern Europe under their control. However, when German forces invaded Russia in June 1941, the pact was shattered and the Soviets declared war against Germany - changing the landscape of the Second World War dramatically.With the weight of the tireless Soviet industry behind them, the Soviet forces used wave after wave of infantry and armour to exhaust the enemy. T34 tanks were produced in vast numbers, outnumbering the German Panzers upon the battlefields of Kursk - with fire support coming in the form of Maxim Machine Guns, and eventhe improvised Molotov cocktail which cause fear and panic during the room-to-room urban fighting in the city of Stalingrad.


The Molotov also known as a petrol bomb, bottle bomb, poor man's grenade, Molotovin koktaili (Finnish), polttopullo (Finnish), fire bomb (not to be confused with an actual fire bomb) or just Molotov, sometimes shortened as Molly, is a generic name used for a variety of bottle-based improvised incendiary weapons. Due to the relative ease of production, Molotov cocktails have been used by street criminals, protesters, rioters, criminal gangs, urban guerrillas, terrorists, hard-line militants, anarchists, irregular soldiers, or even regular soldiers short on equivalent military-issue weapons. They are primarily intended to ignite rather than obliterate targets.

On 30 November 1939, the Soviet Union attacked Finland, starting what came to be known as the Winter War. The Finns perfected the design and tactical use of the petrol bomb. The fuel for the Molotov cocktail was refined to a slightly sticky mixture of gasoline, kerosene, tar, and potassium chlorate. Further refinements included the attachment of wind-proof matches or a phial of chemicals that would ignite on breakage, thereby removing the need to pre-ignite the bottle, and leaving the bottle about one-third empty
was found to make breaking more likely.

A British War Office report dated June 1940 noted that:

The Finns' policy was to allow the Russian tanks to penetrate their defences, even inducing them to do so by 'canalising' them through gaps and concentrating their small arms fire on the infantry following them. The tanks that penetrated were taken on by gun fire in the open and by small parties of men armed with explosive charges and petrol bombs in the forests and villages... The essence of the policy was the separation of the AFVs from the infantry, as once on their own the tank has many blind spots and once brought to a stop can be disposed of at leisure.

Molotov cocktails were eventually mass-produced by the Alko corporation at its Rajamki distillery, bundled with matches to light them. Production totalled 450,000 during the Winter War. The original recipe of the Molotov cocktail was a mixture of ethanol, tar and gasoline in a 750 millilitres (0.79 US qt) bottle. The bottle had two long pyrotechnic storm matches attached to either side. Before use, one or both of the matches was lit; when the bottle broke on impact, the mixture ignited. The storm matches were found to be safer to use than a burning rag on the mouth of the bottle.

They were also successful and at 18.30 hours, two tanks of the Grenadier Guards had been able to cross the Nijmegen bridge and linked up with troops of the 504th on the other side.While the troops at Nijmegen were trying to capture the road bridge over the Waal, the rest of the 82nd Airborne Division around Groesbeek, Berg en Dal and Mook had to endure the first major German attack on the corridor. German forces of the 3rd and 5th Fallschirmjger Divisions, supported by tanks, artillery and air support attacked numerous positions of the 505th and the 508th. The Germans were able to reach Berg en Dal and Beek and fought around the Duivelsberg, a piece of high ground in that area. The Duivelsberg was defended by a small force of the 508th, but they were able to withstand the attacks for two days. Mook had fallen into German hands. In the upcoming days Mook would swith hands numerous times. With the corridor now under pressure at Mook, the 505th together with the Coldstream Guards fought back the German attackers and were able to retake the village in the evening.With numerous losses in the infantry regiments of the 82nd Airborne Division, Gavin was in dying need of reinforcements, he even rushed in the glider pilots to help with the defense of Mook. But the airlift containing reinforcements (especially the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment) which had to be flown in from England had not been able to take off from British airfields due to bad weather.

( Recovered Kharkov )

Here is a relic Battlefield recovered Large Strand of German MG34/42 Ammo Belt Chain with 35 original casings as rarely if ever found ! These were recovered near Kharkov.Although the Germans were also understrength, theWehrmachtsuccessfully flanked, encircled and defeated the Red Army's armored spearheads south of Kharkov. This enabled von Manstein to renew his offensive against the city of Kharkov proper, which began on 7 March. Despite orders to encircle Kharkov from the north, the SS Panzer Corps instead decided to directly engage Kharkov on 11 March. This led to four days of house-to-house fighting before Kharkov was finally recaptured by the 1st SS Panzer (Leibstandarte) Division, on 15 March. Two days later, the Germans also recaptured Belgorod, creating the salient which in July 1943 would lead to the Battle of Kursk. The German offensive cost the Red Army an estimated 70,000 casualties, but the house-to-house fighting in Kharkov was also particularly bloody for the German SS Panzer Corps, which had lost approximately 4,300 men by the time operations ended in late March.

WOW ! HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE Battlefield Recovered US WW2 SHERMAN TANK TRACK Chevron Type LINK Relic Normandy Break Out - Countances, France

Here is a spectacular relic Sherman Tank Track Link that was recovered in Countances, France.The track was part of a group of armored vehicle parts recovered inside a thick hedge along route D972 in France. Was Located in 2003. It was outside Coutances France. D972 is the main road from St Lo to Coutances. This area was part of Operation Cobra headed by Gen Bradley to break out of Normandy end of July 1944.

Operation Cobrawas the codename for anoffensivelaunched by theUnited StatesFirst Armyunder Lieutenant GeneralOmar Bradleyseven weeks after theD-Daylandings, during theNormandy campaignofWorld War II. The intention was to take advantage of the distraction of theGermansby the British and Canadian attacks aroundCaeninOperation Goodwood,and thereby break through the German defenses that were penning in their forces while the Germans were unbalanced. Once a corridor had been created, the First Army would then be able to advance intoBrittany, rolling up the German flanks once free of the constraints of thebocagecountry. After a slow start, the offensive gathered momentum and German resistance collapsed as scattered remnants of broken units fought to escape to theSeine. Lacking the resources to cope with the situation, the German response was ineffectual and the entire Normandy front soon collapsed. Operation Cobra, together with concurrent offensives by the BritishSecond Armyand the CanadianFirst Army, was decisive in securing anAlliedvictory in the Normandy campaign.
Having been delayed several times by poor weather, Operation Cobra commenced on 25 July 1944, with a concentratedaerial bombardmentfrom thousands of Allied aircraft. Supporting offensives had drawn the bulk of German armored reserves toward the British and Canadian sector and, coupled with the general lack of men andmaterielavailable to the Germans, it was impossible for them to form successive lines of defense. Units of the U.S.VII Corpsled the initial two-division assault, while other First U.S. Army corps mounted supporting attacks designed to pin German units in place. Progress was slow on the first day but opposition started to crumble once the defensive crust had been broken. By 27 July, most organized resistance had been overcome and the VII andVIII Corpsadvanced rapidly, isolating theCotentin Peninsula.
By 31 July,XIX Corpshad destroyed the last forces opposing the First Army, which emerged from the bocage. Reinforcements were moved west byField MarshalGnther von Klugeand employed in various counterattacks, the largest of which,Unternehmen Lttich(Operation Lige), was launched on 7August betweenMortainandAvranches. Although this led to the bloodiest phase of the battle, it was mounted by already exhausted and understrength units and was a costly failure. On 8August, troops of the newly activatedThird United States Armycaptured the city ofLe Mans, formerly the German7th Armyheadquarters. Operation Cobra transformed the high-intensity infantry combat of Normandy into rapidmaneuver warfareand led to the creation of theFalaise pocketand the loss of the German strategic position in northwestern France.

The Flammenwerfer 41 or FmW 41 was the standard German flamethrower beginning in 1941, and it was an upgraded version of the earlier Flammenwerfer 35. It was designed to clear enemy trenches and buildings in highly fortified areas.Similar to many other designs of the time, the FmW 41 used a hydrogen torch to ignite a tar and gas mixture which was fired from a hand-held torch attached to a tank.Flamethrower troops were often targeted by enemy troops since the flamethrower devastated enemy morale and it was an effective weapon against well-entrenched enemy troops. The Flammenwerfers were often camouflaged to look like standard infantry rifles in an attempt to disguise the flamethrower troops.TheFlammenwerfer35, orFmW 35(flame thrower) was a one-man Germanflamethrowerused duringWorld War IIto clear out trenches and buildings. It could project fuel up to 25 metres from the user.It weighed 35.8 kilograms (79lb), and held 11.8 litres (2.6impgal; 3.1USgal) of flaming oil, (Flamml 19), petrol mixed with tar to make it heavier and to give it better range, which was ignited by a hydrogen torch providing about 10 seconds of continuous use.

The division, as a part of SS-ObergruppenfhrerPaul Hausser'sII SS Panzer Corps, took part in theThird Battle of Kharkov, blunting the Soviet offensive. During this campaign, Theodor Eicke was killed when his spotter aircraft was shot down.Hermann Priesssucceeded Eicke as commander. The SS Panzer Corps, including the division, was then shifted north to take part inOperation Citadel, the offensive aimed at reducing theKursksalient. It was during February 1943 that the 3rd SS Panzer Regiment received a company ofTiger Iheavy tanks.The attack was launched on 5 July 1943 with theII SS Panzer Corpsattacking the southern flank of the salient as the spearhead for GeneraloberstHermann Hoth's4th Panzer Army. The division covered the advance on the left flank of the II SS Panzer Corps, with the SS Division Leibstandarte forming the spearhead. With the advance slower than had been planned, Hausser ordered his II SS Panzer Corps to split in two, with the Totenkopf crossing thePsel Rivernorthwards and then continuing on towards the town ofProkhorovka. In the early morning of 9 July, 6th SS Motorised Regiment Theodor Eicke attacked northwards, crossing the Psel and attempted to seize the strategic Hill 226.6, but failed to do so until the afternoon. This meant that the northern advance slowed and the majority of the division was still south of the Psel, where elements of 5th SS Motorised Regiment 5 Thule continued to advance towards Prokhorovka and cover the flank of the Leibstandarte.By 11 July, elements of the division crossed the Psel and secured Kliuchi. In the afternoon of 12 July, near the village of Andreyevka on the south bank of the Psel, the Soviet forces launched a major counterattack against Regiment Thule and the division's battalion of assault guns during theBattle of Prokhorovka.Elements of the division engaged lead units of the5th Guards Tank Army, halting the Soviet advance and inflicting severe damage to the Soviet forces, but at the cost of the majority of the division's remaining operational tanks. While the II SS Panzer Corps had halted the Soviet counteroffensive, it had exhausted itself. Citadel was called off on 14 July.
Along with theSS Division Das Reich, the division was reassigned to GeneralKarl-Adolf Hollidt's reformed6th Armyin southern Ukraine. The 6th Army was tasked with eliminating the Soviet bridgehead over theMius River. The division was involved in heavy fighting over the next several weeks. During the JulyAugust battles for Hill 213 and the town ofStepanovka, the division suffered heavy losses, and over the course of the campaign on theMius-Front, it suffered more casualties than it had during Operation Citadel. By the time the Soviet bridgehead was eliminated, the division had lost 1,500 troops; the Panzer regiment was reduced to 20 tanks.
Totenkopf was then moved north, back to Kharkov. Along with Das Reich, Totenkopf took part in the battles to haltOperation Rumyantsevand to prevent the Soviet capture of the city. The city was abandoned on 23 August due to the threats on the German flanks. In October 1943, the division was reformed as a Panzer division. The Panzer battalion was officially upgraded to a regiment, and the two motorised regiments were given the titles Theodor Eicke and Totenkopf.

The intention was to sever the link between the German Demyansk positions, and the Staraya Russa railway that formed thelines of communicationof the German16.Armee. However, owing to the very difficult wooded and swampy terrain, and heavy snow cover, the initial advance by the Front was very modest against stubborn opposition.On 8 January, a new offensive called theRzhev-Vyazma Strategic OffensiveOperation started. This incorporated the previous Front's planning into theToropets-Kholm OffensiveOperation between 9 January and 6 February 1942 which formed the southernpincerof the attack that, beginning the second phase of the northern pincer Demyansk Offensive Operation between 7 January and 20 May, which encircled the German 16th Army's (GeneraloberstErnst Busch) IInd, and parts of the Xth Army Corps (General der ArtillerieChristian Hansen) during winter 1941/1942.Trapped in the pocket were the12th,30th,32nd, 123rd and 290th infantry divisions, and theSS-DivisionTotenkopf, as well asRAD,Police,Todtorganization and other auxiliary units, for a total of about 90,000 German troops and around 10,000 auxiliaries.

RARE Battlefield Dug WW2 German Wehrmacht 50 Engagements General Assault Badge Award Relic from the Russian Front
( Borsick Estate Collection )

Here is a nice affordable example of an extremely rare WW2 German award for participation in 50 engagements ! Missing pin but still retains the catch.The General Assault Badge was established on June 22, 1943. It was originally intended for the Engineers Assault Badge, but was quickly re-designated to include members of the artillery, anti-tank and anti-aircraft units. This grade badge was to recognize the military skill of the veterans A credit was given for service in Russia and was taken to the start of the Russian campaign on June 22, 1941.In the middle of October 1944, about 500,000 soldiers -- 32 German divisions and the 20,000 men of the Latvian Nineteenth Division of the WaffenSS -- were cut off from the rest of the German army and encircled. To the east and the south was the Soviet army, to the north and the west -- the Baltic Sea. The Latvians called it Kurzemes katls, the Kurland kettle; the Germans called it Festung Kurland, Fortress Kurland.For the Nineteenth Division Kurland was truly the last stand. They took part in six major battles between October 12, 1944, and April 3, 1945. Together with the German army units they on the whole held the front line, keeping the Bolsheviks out of Kurland, until May 8, 1945, when Germany capitulated. These soldiers remained undefeated until the final moments of the war, im Felde unbesiegt, as the Germans say. In one of the last battles, Captain Miervaldis Adamsons' company in a single 24-hour period repelled seven attacks by the Russians, and after the battle the bodies of 400 fallen Soviet soldiers could be counted in front of the Latvians' unconquered positions.The Soviet High Command asked the commanders of the First and Second Baltic Fronts to take forceful action in Kurland, in order to drive the enemy from the northern sector of the Baltic Sea and free their units for more important positions on the Soviet-German front. The first attempt occurred on October 16, 1944, but was stopped in the area around Tukums. The next Soviet offensive took place on October 27, but met with strong resistance from the outset and did not result in any gains. November 20 saw another offensive, but the Germans and Latvians stabilized their defensive line, utilizing favorable geographic features. Equally unsuccessful were the final attempts of the First and Second Baltic Front Armies to liquidate the German Army Group Kurland in December of 1944 and February and April of 1945.Soviet documents show that Stalin threw division after division into the Kurland inferno, disregarding the appallingly high losses.According to German estimates, the Soviet army lost 320,000 soldiers -- including those fallen, wounded, and taken prisoner -- and 2388 tanks, 659 planes, 900 cannons, and 1440 machine-guns.

An armored door panel that is riddled with bullet holes. This still has the highly visible symbol of the 61. Infanterie Div. from an Sd. Kfz.It took part in theSiege of Leningradand remained in the area until January 1944, after which the SovietKrasnoye SeloRopshaandKingiseppGdovoffensives forced it back intoEstoniawhere it fought in theBattle of Narva, particularly in theNarva Offensive (1824 March 1944). Held in reserve, it was one of only two divisions considered fully combat effective by the Army Group North in July of that year.The division was redesignated as61st Volksgrenadier Divisionin October 1944, and continued fighting in the East under Army Groups North and Center. Evacuated toEast Prussia, the division fought in the so-calledHeiligenbeil pocket, caught between the advancing Soviets and theFrisches Haff. Once the cauldron collapsed in March 1945 the division was written off as a loss and its remaining assets were taken over by the21st Infantry Divisionwhile the division staff was withdrawn toKnigsberg, all falling into Soviet hands at the end of the war.

WN-62 was the Infamous Bunker of The Beast of Omaha that decimated the US Divisions Assault on Omaha Beach D-DAY ! A rare chance to own an original Omaha Beach Relic Recovery !

I was able to purchase a collection box of mess items from the closed Normandy Museum that I will be gradually making available for purchase. These are Omaha Beach relics that were recovered in the Dunes near the famed and dreadful Battery WN 62. A chance to own one of these would be the hi-light of any D-DAY collection !

Some artifacts just have the WOW factor and have Historical significance not just by the what it is but where it is from and information surrounding it. Backed by the period museum tag and provenance. This Mess Kit lid was displayed at the Victory Museum Normandie until its closure briefly in 2016. Here is a great item that would be a fantastic addition to any Normandy D-DAY collection ! This Wehrmacht mess kit lid was present on that historic day. The Kit lid was recovered from bunker WN 62 Colleville-sur-Mer .Strong Point WN 62 June 6th, 1944.The best armoured of 15 strong points in the 6 km long bay with the American Omaha-sectors Dog, Easy and Fox was permanently occupied with 28 soldiers of the 3rd company of the Gren. Regt. 726 / 716th Infantry Division. Soldiers of this company were distributed on the strong points WN 59 to WN 64, the command post was stationed in the strong point WN 63, which was situated 1.340 m backwards.June 6th, 1944, besides 13 soldiers were stationed here. They were from the 1st Department of the Arty. Regt. 352 of the 352nd Infantry Division of the 1st Battery (which was placed in the 4,5 km distant Houtteville), the artillery observation post in the WN 62. The casemates (gun bunker), the men bunker and the Tobruk positions were erected in springtime in the year after the inspection of Rommel (January 29th, 1944) by the organization Todt. On June 6th, 1944 the completion work on WN 62 was not conclude. An artifact from the defenders of pillbox WN-62 is a rarity beyond words.

Historic WN 62


Concelaed Anti-tank gun, WN 62, Omaha Beach
On this sector of Omaha Beach, Easy Red Sector, you can see where the battle hardened First Infantry Division suffered some 700 casualties on the beach on D-Day. In amongst the numerous and well preserved bunkers and pillboxes that made up thisGerman defensive position knownto the defendersas WN 62, you can see how the American Assault Forces were pinned down on the beach below the Axis forces, caught in a virtual shooting gallery for the German machine guns positioned on the heights above. These First Division Troopswere unlucky indeed,having landed opposite the strongest German resistance point on the whole length of the Omaha landing sector. Finally by 2:30 pm most of the Germans had withdrawn from the position and the beach hadbecome free of direct German fire. However, these Germans had not withdrawn because they had been beaten but because they had by and large simply run out of ammunition. You will see where these German soldiers hid as they made their way inland, trying to link up with the German reinforcements they expected to be coming upto their rescue. The following morning, instead of the German Panzer counterattack that they had expected to find coming towards them, these retreating Germans discovered American Forces had already infiltrated past the German beach defenses and were forced to surrender.

WOW ! SPECTACULAR RELIC ! Large half section of a RUSSIAN Lend-Lease WW2 - MATILDA II Mk. IV TANK DATA PLATE
Blown apart in half by Explosion Impact ! ( Recovered Kharkov ) ONLY 918 of these tanks made it to Russia !

An incredible find ! A Battlefield Dug Relic WW2 Matilda Tank Data Plate that was blown in half in battle ! The half section of this rare piece was recovered Kharkov.
The Matildas that arrived in the Soviet Union were mostly Mk.IIIs and IVs, with Leyland diesel engines. Diesel being the preferred fuel of the Soviets. They arrived painted in the standard G3 Khaki color, with various instructional markings, including red stripes running the length of the tank to signify its maximum fording depth. British representatives were sent with the first batch of tanks in 1941 to teach Soviet crews how to operate the vehicles. This took place at the Kazan and Gorkiy (Modern day Nizhni-Novgorod) Tank Schools. The British reported how adverse the Soviet crews were to using some methods and favored their own system of flags to communicate rather than the wireless set. They also preferred using the manual turret traverse to the powered traverse.The Matilda, or the British Mk.2 as it came to be called, received mixed reviews from the Soviets. Its armor, comparable to that of their ownKV-1Heavy Tanks, was much appreciated. One Soviet Matilda crew member claimed his tank received 87 non-penetrating hits. Its general reliability was also highly regarded. At the time, the Matilda and the Valentine were considered to be light tanks and actually fell in between the Soviet definition of Light and Medium tanks. They had less firepower than the Soviets medium and heavy Tanks, but more armor than their light tanks. The Matilda certainly didnt have the speed of a light tank, which Soviet crews were not too happy with.A major problem with tank, the Soviet crews found, was how ill-suited it was too harsh winter conditions. The tank was designed to operate down to 0 Degrees C, but temperatures in Russian could drop as low as -50 Degrees C. Indeed, even during shipping across the Arctic route, the coolant in the tanks radiators would freeze. Following complaints by the recipients, later tanks were shipped with an antifreeze solution in the radiators. The cold weather also affected the mobility of the tank. Snow and mud would frequently clog the drivetrain and suspension, making it hard to shift when built up behind the armored side skirts. It was found that just 30 cm (12 in) of snow was enough to stop the tank. Matildas shipped to the USSR were equipped with the T.D.5910 Spud tracks. Its narrow tracks with smooth, rounded metal treads were also an issue when crossing icy terrain, as they provided little to no grip. Crews devised a simple solution by welding sections of steel to each link for better grip in the snow.The Matildas2 Pounder (40 mm)gun was also a problem. The Soviets saw it as no improvement over their own 45 mm 20-K tank gun (found on theBT tanksfor instance) and were disappointed that it wasnt equipped with a HE (High-Explosive) round. One attempt to provide a solution was the re-casing of the 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft rounds but was not successful.There was a more extensive proposal, however. The Soviets turned to one of their best weapons engineers, Vasily Grabin, who came up with a design to introduce a 76 mm anti-tank gun into the Matildas turret. This gun was the F-96, a specially designed variant of the ZiS-5. Not only would this have increased the vehicles anti-armor capability, but also granted it an effective High-Explosive round. This project did not go far, however, with justone prototypebuilt.The HE problem would prove to rectify itself, however, with later deliveries of the tank bringing the Close-Support Matilda armed with an Ordnance QF 3 inch (76 mm) Howitzer. This gun fired both an effective HE round and smoke shells. A total of 156 of this version were sent, but only around 120 were received. They were not very common, with only a few units being equipped with them. The 5th Mechanized Corps of the 68th Army were one such unit for example. The 5th Mechanised was the only Soviet armored corps to be entirely equipped with British tanks.

HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AND THE RAREST of All WWII COLLECTIBLES ! Battlefield Excavated GERMAN NAZI ENIGMA Cipher Code MACHINE Face Plate and Keyboard Frame with Original Data Plate !- Recovered HISTORIC Konigsberg

Here is another relic from my personal collection that is an affordable example of a historic collectible! Battlefield Excavated near Konigsberg this is an extremely rare WW2 Wehrmacht Enigma Machine Face Panel ! Would look fantastic shadow box displayed ! The German Field Enigma CIpher Machine Face Plate and Keyboard frame with a Data Plate still attached ! The condition is rough but the metal is solid and a rare chance to own such a wonderful piece of history ! This impressive artifact and any part of an Original Enigma Machine are the most sought after of all wwII relics. Enigma machines were ordered to be destroyed upon retreat to prevent them from falling into Allied hands.The actual Battle of Knigsberg lasted four days only, but it was a bitter and bloody battle. The encircled German forces put up stiff resistance bolstered by Knigsbergs formidable fortifications, a defence system comprising three rings of forts which had been constructed at the end of the 19thcentury, some modernised and reinforced, and all heavily supplemented with anti-tank systems and landmines.The assault began at dawn on 6 April 1945. Intense artillery shelling, which followed several days of bombing by the Soviet air force, was the immediate precursor to the first stage of the citys invasion. By the fourth day of the attack, 9 April 1945, the Soviet army had breached the enemys main defences and in a punishing feat of urban warfare ~ building by building, street by street ~ was bearing down on what remained of the enemy entrenched at the heart of the city. Although both in numbers and fire power German resources were not yet totally depleted, Otto Lasch, Fortress Commandant of Knigsberg, in direct contradiction of Hitlers orders, realising that all was lost, initiated his armys surrender. Negotiations were implemented and the surrender of the defenders of Knigsberg and Knigsberg itself was finally ratified just before midnight in Otto Laschs control bunker.

Battle of Knigsberg

By the time the assault was over, 80 per cent of the city had been obliterated, partly as a result of earlier aerial bombing raids, later soviet artillery action and the urban warfare that followed. Whilst statistical records differ it is widely held that the Germans suffered between 40,000 and 50,000 casualties and between 80,000 and 90,000 Germans were taken prisoner. Of Knigsbergs civilian population, estimated pre-war at 300,000, 200,000 survived but were subsequently forced to leave the city and region. Soviet casualties over the four-day assault is said to number around 4000.Despite an estimated 30,000 Enigma machines manufactured, there are currently only about 350 known to exist today, with less than half of these in private hands.Enigma machines are now a collector's item for the ber geek - a standard Army Enigma hasThe actual Battle of Knigsberg lasted four days only, but it was a bitter and bloody battle.
