AMAZING Photo Album & Diary Grouping Freikorps, WEHRWOLF, Brigade ERHARDT, SA, Waffen-SS - AMERSFOORT CONCENTRATION CAMP- TOP!
We are very pleased to offer our customers the original diaries/photo albums of Wilhelm Eickhoff.  They are probably rank among  the best Freikorps through NSDAP diaries in existence. The three volumes contain over 750 pages and appx 75 photos covering his time in II. Wesf. Husaren Rgt 11 (Freikorps Garde-Kav.Schutzen Div), Freikorps Lichtschlag (Freiwilligen Batterie Ziegler), O.S./S.S., Sturm Korps KOPPE - II Marine Brigade Ehrhardt, Sturm Batl Heinz, Grenzschutz Ost, Wacht und Sichterheitsdienst fur Gross Berlin, Sturm Batl Westfalen, Teja Bund, Reichswehr Art Rgt 2, Freikorps "Jagerschaar von HEYDEBRECK" (Verbotenes Freikorps), Frontbann Nord Berlin, WEHRWOLF (!!), NSDAP und STURMABTEILUNG, Luftschutz in Belin, and Waffen-SS in SS-Wachbatallion "Nordwest" in Holland with service at the AMERSFOORT CONCENTRATION CAMP.
The diaries cover three huge volumes. They begin when he was 16 years old and run through the end of the war. They cover the complete development of the Nazi movement and Partei from beginning to end. Really amazing, detailed, daily content showing the development of an intense young man with much nationalistic and anti-Jewish fervor.   He later owned several NSDAP bookstores in Germany that appeared to only offer NSDAP related books and propaganda material. There are photos of his bookshops in the albums overflowing with NSDAP propaganda.. He would also offer souvenir flags, newspapers, pins, and ephemera as a street vendor. He records being arrested three times for this. There is a super photo of him holding a box of his items for sale on the street. He also included many of these small silk flags inside his diaries including the very rare WEHRVERBAND WEHRWOLF Flag as well as the Marinebrigade Ehrhardt flag!! The photos are AMAZING!  Some of the best Freikorps & WEHRWOLF portraits in existence. Amazing badges, insignias, medals, organization emblems and more. The Wehrwolf portraits are stunning as are those showing the Marine Brigade Erhardt badge in wear. The diaries also cover two SA/NSDAP propaganda trips he took via bicycle, one through Italy and Sicily, and the second to Afrika. In 1942 he joins the Waffen-SS and is assigned to SS-Wachbatallion "Nordwest" in Holland. Under command of SS-Obersturmbannführer Paul A. Helle, 'Nordwest' was responsible for guarding the perimeters of German concentration camps in the Netherlands. Specifically, he served as a Block Leader (Blockfuhrer) at the AMERSFOORT CONCENTRATION CAMP (Polizeiliches Durchgangslager Amersfoort). Amersfoort was a transit camp, where prisoners were sent to places like Buchenwald, Mauthausen and Neuengamme and later, Auschwitz, Sobibor and Theresienstadt. He was there from 1941 to 1942, it appears. He discusses leading work details of  Russians and Jews in several entries. He is later released from the W-SS and then joins the Luftschuetzdienst. Many entries describe the daily bombing raids on Berlin and his duties there.  Overall, this grouping represents an important time capsule of German N.S. history! It would bring more at auction, but we are glad to offer it first to our customers!
