Erich,

Very nice death cards! I always enjoy documents myself, but during the last couple of months I decided to add some more helmets to my small collection. Here are the two the I bought last weekend.

Douglas.

The first one is a Stahlhelm M40 with a single Luftwaffe decal (size 64).

Hi,

The second helmet is a Stahlhelm M42 with Heer (army) decal. Very impressive "IT WAS THERE" feeling came with this one.

Those are corkers! And the decals are so well preserved! When you think the helmets would be thrown about and generally abused, it's incredible they're in such good condition.

Great Helmets and Great Pics.

I find the death cards quite interesting up there. Especially how the first one says at the bottom "Only a little while longer and we will see each other again."

The card at the very bottom is your cousin is it no.

ah no I do not have a pic of Siegfried.

the Röhr card is ? the guy last flew with JV 44 and then 262's in III./EJG 2

Over 1000 missions, 96 kills in the east, 16 kills with the 262 alone in the west. He was one of the top aces in the day fighter force, and in fact possibly my favourite given he was a relative.

He is ?
