13-14
>>714003106
Is that the death notice on the first page?
>>714003414
I would also like close ups of page 9 if thats ok OP?
>>714003414
yeah ive thought about doing that, just never get around to it. allot of these are quite unique. many action shots as well
15-16
>>714002737
I collect these as well, it's hard though wedding through fake single photos. Somebody in the Baltic got ahold of old photo paper and is printing stacks.
>>714003524

>>714003892
In the book is usually good, I don't think I have seen an entire false album before. I like the press photos. Know anything about those released Russian archive photos? I've seen them but I don't know if they are real, reprints, or new fakes.
>>714003307

17-18 feel free to ask anything. this site keeps me sane, so figured i could share for once
>>714004234
>>714004244

19-20
Note photographer in bottom right with EK2 i think
21-22
>>714004494
The Ukrainian ones I've looked at and the Baltic States looked too good to be true. Also I see a lot of the fake helmets that are coming out of there, guys buy them and pay a good sum. They are fake though, sawdust camouflage and wire baskets.
23-24

>>714004494
Agreed. That pic is great

thanks i appreciate the lulz
how old your big dicked gramps when he died?
>>714008478
>>714008367
if ur grandpa came to the us was he ever harassed/hunted by the kikes for being a "nazi war criminal who burned 6 billion jews"?
>>714007628
Im sorry to hear that, Im sure he had some great stories to tell
>>714008919
anytime lol
and 93 if i recall right. I was 15 or so so that should be about right
>>714009272
LOL! nah he was all proud and stuff, and never hesitated to tell stories, he was captured shortly after his tranfer to Grossdeautchland "have pics if of transfer docs if ya wanna call bs lol" all his stuff my grandma kept then they came here a coupel years after war.
>>714009293
Funny you say that, at my schools they would have war history day and stuff and he would come set up a table in the school library and talk about it and what not for everyone, he was well liked and loved in his community in fact
Hell i have all the letters people wrote for my grandmother when he passed.
quick snapshot of the Grossdeautchland papers.
He was an Oberfeldwebel when these were given
>>714009581
did ur grandpa ever run in to american soldiers later in life and swap stories? or were the bitter rivals?
>>714009581
What year was the capture?
Do you have one of these from his marriage to grandmother?
>>714009922
>a wild Aryan appears
>>714009853
Nice RAD armband I see there.
>>714009919
great fuckin question :D
>>714009919
To my knowledge no, but he did hang out at the war museum in the next city over sometimes, so id imagine it happened. They would like volunteer to open it certain days and stuff. Hell he has stuff there on loan still XD
>>714009922-I can probably narrow it down to a exact day if you wanted but afer looking id say about 44
is this what your talking about?
>>714010354
thansk brotha, got a bunch of different ones.
>>714009922
figured if not be a lazy fuck and get your answer on date lol this was the date of his last assignment
>>714010560
For Americans not December 8, it's 12 of August.
>>714010412
Looks like it, red copy was for higher level people? Blue is standard I think, not so sure. I have the dust cover but it's pretty old.
>>714010412
well ur grandpa sounds like a pretty cool guy
who would he have voted for this election you think?
the globalist nazis or the liberal capitalist usurper trump?
>>714010700
ah gotcha, hell you could probably narrow it down to a location he was at and stuff.
>>714010842- could be brotha, from looking at it it contains a very detailed blood line explanation, he was an officer so that may be the difference, no clue.
teaser photo INCOMING
>>714010560
Captured in Baltics, lucky he was to survive.
>>714011222
Mp38, haven't seen one in a long while.
>>714011215-
He was an awesome guy, He would have voted trump, he was a gun guy and a prepper, hell he taught me how to can and shit.
Hell his final words, no bullshit was "Eh hell with it" His garden hose kept fucking up and i kept fixing it, he was on hospice for pancreatic cancer at the time. When i told him it broke again he said that then went to sleep, never got to speak again.
>>714011226
Thats bad ass you can tell that man. I can snap a photo when he was in his 50s or 60s if yal interested
>>714011222
Has some of this stuff been added to the collection? I'm thrown off by the SS bolts on the second tunic... Not typical of Großdeutschland?
>>714011509
Its a parts kit i want to get around to making live, but havent bought the tube i need yet.
Scored it on IMA a few years ago. I usually run a ZB26 when i go reenact to keep his memory alive lol
>>714011599
Oh yeah man, a large portion, He got me heavy into collecting when I was in middle school, he would buy anything vets would bring the old museum they didnt want anymore.
I keep all his stuff seperate for the most part
>>714011539
fucking pancreatic cancer...it seems to be way too common a source of death for the greatest generation
>>714011879
That explains the Totenkopf insignia, as well as the other SS panzer insignias, photos etc..
cool!
>>714011894
Yeah it was sad dude. He was mowing his own grass up to his 80s man, Then he had surgery to try and stop it and he lost way way too much weight. Id have to walk behind him holding his belt in case he fell. Got down to 90 lbs man. terrible to witness.
He was a champ till the end though
photo of him i keep in the gun room
>>714012083
You seem like a sharp guy brotha, heres some photos of rommel, only one was ever published. Hell you might be able to figure out who i am by this lol.
Not gonna zoom too close, i like havung rare shit haha
>>714012207
yup
you notice some jaudnice on mom or dad (grandma/grandpa), they go in to have a stint placed the drain some of the toxins/bilirubin and they come out of surgery like night and die barely able to keep their eyes open and usually die within 4-5 days
at least morphine is a common staple in the dying process at that point...high af on cloud 9
>>714012816
Fuck bro sorry to hear that man. SOme serious shit dude.
Yeh the lady had him doped up, he had my mommaw by his side in bed the whole time comforting him.
Hell she lived several more years after him, lonely as hell though. Still listen to a birthday voicemail sometimes man. Dem feels
>>714012526
Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, and brains saves both... Or something like that?
Rommel is my favorite Generalfeldmarschall.
>>714013054
You tugging at me Wehraboo strings brotha. pick one of them for a closeup
>>714013130
The middle looks pretty good, you can see the Panzertruppen in the background.
>>714007628
>sadly deceased nazi
>>714013343
not a bad choice, this one was actually published, but the cropped version was used. this however shows the bushes that obstructed the original. Enjoy /b/
>>714013673
Thanks /b/ro!
Hard to tell, but could be a Panzer IV in the background?
Based on the loading door, and slightly slowed track.
>>714005006
mfw that was that pics are form poland
>>714013438
You need to leave sir
>>714014211

>>714002737
Thanks for sharing all this OP hopefully your granddad is looking down on us from vahalla atm draining the keg one mug at a time
>>714014523
Its hard to tell, because you can easily identify it by the road wheel count. However, in this case, you only have one idler wheel, and one road wheel.
>>714014843
My pleasure brotha! Glad you guys enjoyed it hopefully as much as I have. He would have loved all you sick fuckers!
>>714014753
big talk coming from the losing side.
"gramps died" may garnish some sympathy
"nazi gramps died" won't.
>>714002737
You should have this scanned.
>>714002737
Thanks for sharing OP.
>>714003013
Page 5, bottom right corner close up? Thanks
>>714014953
>>714002737
Good shit OP. Very nice and very interesting.
>>714014850

>>714014971

>>714004494
Reaction meme born
>>714015100
Max dubs checked
>>714014737
Then you might request an album of red army photos, because Soviet Union have won in this war , not amerifag burger forces.
>>714015090

>>714015100
Indeed!
>>714015150
Thanks dude, I may do another albumn another day too since it got some positive feedback
>>714004129
Is that the birthdate? 4.8.14? We April 8th kin bro!
>>714015198
Just get a scanner, and lay open the albums on it. Crop out each image, if you can be arsed. I once spent an evening scanning my entire family's album going back to 1920s, but that was with an old scanner. Most scanners should be able to scan images in under 5 seconds.
>>714015581
They looked as though they were lounging. Not something I've seen a lot of in WWII pics. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough. This is pre-invasion of Poland?
>>714015726
Yeh brotha, thats the birthdate.
