WWI Yard Long Photograph Remington - UMC Factory Bridgeport Connecticut Lot #2126 (Sale Order 34 of 355) World War One color yard long photograph of the Remington Arms factory, Remington - U.M.C. (United Metallic Cartridge) Company bordering Boston Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The 7.5" x 27" yardlong is in overall excellent rolled condition with only minor cracking. Published by E.S. Marsh, Remington City News Dealer. Early in WW1, The Czar of Russia placed an order with the company to make one million Russian rifles and 100 million rounds of ammunition. As a result, Marcellus Hartley Dodge, the owner of Remington - UMC, decided to build a factory along Boston Street. The factory was made of 13 separate buildings connected by a central, 5 story corridor. It was one half mile long and covered 80 acres of floor space. It was the largest factory that had ever been built in the United States all at one time. In addition to the Russian order, UMC-Remington filled orders for the British, French and other allies fighting in WWI. When the Lusitania was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1915, it was carrying millions of rounds of UMC - Remington ammunition. It was the secondary explosions from the ammunition on board that caused the ship to sink so quickly. In 1920, Dodge sold the factory to General Electric for 7 million dollars. It served as GE's world headquarters for decades. In-house shipping is available. Open pickup is Tuesday, Oct. 29 from Noon to 7 pm at our offices in Carroll, OH 43112 or we will provide in-house shipping for this item. We charge $5/lot if you want to pick up a different day.

WWI 3rd Division Group - 10th F.A. Dog Tags & German POW Made Trench Knife - Letter Opener Lot #2127 (Sale Order 35 of 355) World War One group belonging to John Werner of Battery F,10th Field Artillery, 3rd Division. Included are his set of dog tags and a trench art knife - letter opener that was made for him by a German Prisoner of War. The German soldier engraved "Weltkrieg" (World War) on the blade and 1914 1918 on the crossguard. An Austrian 10 Heller Coin is affixed to the center of the crossguard. John Werner engraved the other side of the knife. The blade reads, "J.R. Werner "F" 10th F.A.". He added a 3rd Division insignia at the tip. The handle is engraved "Made by German Prisoner" and the cross guard is engraved "Chateau Thierry" "St. Mihiel" and (Meuse Argonne 1918). An examination of how each man engraved the number "1" shows that a different hand engraved each side.

We have not untied the dog tags from the knife because the the knot at the end of the rope is tightly melded and has most likely been displayed that way for decades, perhaps by John Werner himself.

Rare Beat Back the Hun With Liberty Bonds WWI Patriotic Propaganda Lot #2133A (Sale Order 40 of 355) Poster size not including board: 30 1/8" x 19 1/8". Rare WWI patriotic poster featuring a German soldier coming over the horizon with blood on his hands and dripping from his bayonet, presumably from French and English forces on the front. Glued down to the backing foam. This poster is rarely seen, and was likely produced in very small numbers as it features an unusually horrifying depiction of the enemy, complete with bayonet that extends up beyond the normal margin of the poster. The caption, €œBeat Back the HUN with LIBERTY BONDS € capitalized on the fear of Americans and encouraged them to buy Liberty Bonds/loans to finance the war. Liberty Loans were bonds that the government sold so they could keep up with the expenses of war. These were sold back to the government after the war. The word €œHun € is a derogatory word towards the Germans that derives from the nomadic tribe, the Huns, in the 4th and 6th century AD, known for their barbaric and warlike invasions ( €œBeat back the Hun with Liberty Bonds €, 2017). Displaying the Germans as the Huns rationalized the war as the fight between good and evil personifying the Germans as animalistic, savage killing machines. Personifying the enemy as non human was a common propaganda practice to drive Americans to purchase Liberty Bonds to finance the war. This poster was created by Frederick Strothmann in 1918. Strothmann was an American artist and illustrator. According to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Strothmann was best known for his illustration work for popular authors such as Mark Twain. Size of poster only is xxx" x xxx". In house shipping is available. Pickup is Tuesday, Oct. 29 from Noon to 7 pm at our offices in Carroll, OH 43112 or we will provide in-house shipping for this item. We charge a $5/lot fee if you pick up on an alternate day.

WWII Nazi German D-Day June 6, 1944 Broadside Proclamation to the Population of the Isle of Jersey Lot #3060 (Sale Order 111 of 355) Rare World War Two D-Day 12.08" x 8" German Broadside - proclamation issued June 6, 1944 by Oberstleutnant Heine to the population of the Isle ( island) of Jersey. Overall excellent conditions with a small hole in each corner made when this document was actually posted. The four corner tips have been affixed to a brown cardstock. We have not attempted to remove this broadside from the cardstock but it appears very possible to do so. The broadside is printed in both German and English and reads, "PROCLAMATION TO THE POPULATION OF THE ISLE OF JERSEY Germany's enemy is on the point of attacking French soil. I expect the population of Jersey to keep its head, to remain calm, and to refrain from any acts of sabotage and from hostile acts against the German Forces even should the fighting spread to Jersey. At the first signs of unrest or trouble I will close the streets to every traffic and will secure hostages. Attacks against the German Forces will be Punished by death. Der Kommandant der Festung Jersey (Signed) Heine, Oberst. Jersey 6th June, 1944". These broadsides were undoubtedly greeted with great joy and celebration by the Jersey citizens who had lived under German rule since the Channel Islands were occupied July 1940. The Channel Islands were the only de jure part of the British Empire in Europe to be occupied by Nazi Germany during the war. The citizens would suffer great hardships during the winter of 1944/1945 as both they and their German occupiers approached starvation. The island was not liberated until May 9, 1945.

WWII Nazi German Knight's Cross Recipient Walter Harzer Signed Letters - Joachim Peiper Death Lot #3070 (Sale Order 116 of 355) Two letters written by former Nazi German SS commander Walter Harzer. Both are written on HIAG stationary to noted American WWII historian Roger J. Bender. Both are in reference to SS Lieutenant Colonel Joachim Peiper who ordered the execution of U.S. prisoners in the infamous Malmedy Massacre that occurred on December 17, 1944 at Malmedy, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge. A total of 84 U.S. prisoners were killed. The first letter, dated August 9, 1974 acknowledges Harzer's and Peiper's receipt of the Waffen SS reference books sent to them by Mr. Bender. Harzer explains that Peiper does not sign autographs and states that "Because of your country's previous revenge justice against Peiper, I can tell you that Peiper does not hold a grudge, (Peiper) - "You can't lose a war, the victors are allowed to commit all kinds of attacks, i.e. war crimes, because only the loser has to be prosecuted...." The second letter was written by Harzer on September 9, 1976, less that two months after Peiper's murder by arson at his house in Traves, Frances on July 14, 1976. A full transcript of that letter is as follows, "Dear Mr. Bender, Your Mr. Schon was kind enough to send Jochen Peiper and me the number 1 copy of volume 4 of your Waffen SS book series, which made me happy and I would like to thank you very much. H. Schon further asked that we explain in detail what the background was that really led to the death of Jochen Peiper. I am sending you a draft of a lecture that I recently gave to the Knighthoods here in Stuttgart. The Frans (French) Communists had already known for a year that Peiper lived in Traves, and it was only after the E.C. in Brussels decided to hold European elections in 1978 that the relationship between Germany and France would be disrupted again and the action of the Frans. (French) Communists against Peiper. The Soviet Union over GDR is behind it! In your name, I would like to give the book sent to me for Jochen Peiper to his son Hinrich Peiper, who now lives as a lawyer in Frankfurt/Main. Unfortunately, Jochen didn't come to my house anymore, he only called me when he was at his employer, the Motorbuch-Verlag Stuttgart. His signature is probably with you, but certainly with me. Images can then also be signed in facsimile. I'm trying to find a publisher and an author who will write a biography about Jochen Peiper very soon. I hope I have met your wishes with the information about Jochen Peiper. Yours Sincerely, (signed) W. Harzer. During WW2, Peiper was a personal adjutant to Heinrich Himmler before becoming a Panzer tank commander, eventually rising to the rank of regimental commander in 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. During WWw, Walter Harzer commanded the 9th SS Panzer Division "Hohenstaufen" and the 4th SS Polizei Panzergrenadier Division. After the war, Harzer became active in HIAG, a lobby group established by senior Waffen-SS men in West Germany in 1951. In-house shipping is available.

The Russians surprised the Germans when they attacked their positions on the night of September 13. A key German machine gun position was knocked out, and Sturm, seeing the danger that this posed, ran over to the machine gun position. He found the weapon undamaged and began firing on the advancing Russians, forcing them back. The Russians began to concentrate their fire on Sturm's position knowing that it had to be eliminated. His gun position took a direct hit and he was knocked unconscious. After coming to, he realized that he had a very bad head wound and had lost the sight in his right eye from shrapnel fragments. Although seriously wounded and in pain, he dragged himself back to his machine gun and began firing. The Russians eventually called off the attack, and the gravely wounded Sturm was evacuated to a field hospital in Smolensk." In-house shipping is available.

WWII Disney Bambi Prevent Forest Forest Fires Patriotic Poster Plus Lot #3418B (Sale Order 190 of 355) Walt Disney rarely allowed his work to be used outside of Disney, but made an exception in 1943 for this poster. Disney allowed the USFS to use the characters from his recently released feature film for U.S. Forest Service public service campaigns like this one, but he only gave them a one-year contract. So there are some wonderful public service posters like these, which use Disney's Bambi, but they are only from 1942 or 1943, and they are extremely rare. The other poster features Bambi as illustrated by Disney artist Ken Hultgren (1915-1968), who also illustrated Bambi in that era. Some small tears to both. Disney Bambi is 14" x 20", the Hultgren is 19" x 10.5". In house shipping is available.

Group Lot of 4 WWII Era Forest Fire Posters Plus Letter Lot #3418C (Sale Order 191 of 355) Four WWII Forest Fire posters plus letter from the US Forest Service to Librarians who would post these at libraries. Creases, Tears, Stains - but would display well framed. Although the U.S. Forest Service had been fighting wildfires long before the outbreak of World War II, the war brought a new importance and urgency to the effort. At the time, many experienced firefighters and other able-bodied men were serving in the armed forces, leaving fewer at home to fight wildfires. U.S. planners hoped that, if Americans knew how wildfires would harm the war effort, they would work with the Forest Service to reduce their occurrence. The Forest Service began using colorful posters to educate Americans about the dangers of wildfires in the hope that local communities could prevent them from starting in the first place. Careless citizens were not the only fire threat, however: the Empire of Japan considered using wildfires as a weapon. Squirrels 26" x 19", Careless Matches measures 24" x 18", First Aid measures 20" x 14", and Yours in Trust measures 19" x 13.5." In house shipping is available.

In the state of confusion, I failed to find him. Then the next night was when I got hit. So the chaplain will set you straight on the questions. Thank you for writing me Mrs. Meeker. And if there is anything I can possibly do to help set you straight, let me know. Thank you again for writing, and I pray that I was of some help to you. Sincerely. S/Sgt W. L. Johnson.

During WW2, Great Britain and the United States worked closely to develop and gather intelligence.

Also included in this lot is a copy of "Piercing The Fog", John F Kreis' book detailing the history of the development and use of intelligence in the United States Air services. Six months after the December 7, 1941 Japanese at Pearl Harbor, the United States Army opened this officer air intelligence training school in the former Harrisburg Academy.

This combat training included prisoner of war interrogation, counter espionage, learning the organizations of the Axis air forces, Soviet air force logistics, air defense deception and an array of other intelligence gathering skills. Some of the school's notable student alumni include actors Robert Preston, Burgess Meredith and Bruce Cabot, novelist Thornton Wilder, Hollywood and Broadway director and Pulitzer Prize Winner Joshua Logan, golfer Bobby Jones, Major Jesse Marcel, the air force officer who first reported the Roswell UFO incident in 1947, and Philip Graham, publisher of The Washington Post in the 1960s.

WWII Painted German Canteen Captured by G.I. - 40th Signal Const. Bat. - African American Unit Lot #3502 (Sale Order 244 of 355) World War Two war time painted German Canteen captured by a member of the 40th Construction Battalion and send home to his sweetheart. Painted on the back of the canteen is "My Sweetheart Etna L. Duvvay / My Army Traveling / England France Belgium Luxembourg Holland Germany 3/21/45 ? Co. D". On the front of the canteen are painted names and addresses of some of the men in the company. The canteen shows some wear and spotting. German stamping SMM 43 at the throat of the canteen. This exceptional relic is made even more unusual by the fact that it is possible to determine with a great deal of certainty when this canteen was painted. After the Battle of the Bulge, the 40th reentered Germany. The date 3/2_/45 and a question mark are painted on the canteen beneath the "Germany" entry. The March date either designates the date of entry into Germany or the date it was painted. In either case, the question mark most likely means "where next ?". By the end of June 1945 the 40th was in France enjoying a well deserved rest - dating the artwork to March - June 1945. The 40th Signal Construction Battalion consisted mainly of African American soldiers. Their World War 2 campaign credits include: Normandy; Northern France; Rhineland; Ardennes-Alsace; Central Europe. The 40th's primary mission was to cable construction to support communications. At the start of the Battle of the Bulge, the 40th was loaned to the First Army where they were charged with lying cable to establish communications between the various Army Corps. They worked tirelessly from December through February to install cable, repair damaged communications and detect mines. While Etta L. Duvay's G.I. Sweetheart didn't identify himself on his canteen, further research might lead to his identity. In-house shipping is available.

This "Flag" depicts Sad Sack wearing a 1940 style denim "Daisy Mae" fatigue cap suggesting that his piece was created earlier in the war before that style of cap was fazed out. Perhaps used as a "tongue in cheek" flag by an actual war time stateside platoon. Sad Sack was an American comic strip and comic book character created by Sergeant George Baker and introduced in June 1942. He depicted an otherwise unnamed, lowly private experiencing some of the absurdities and humiliations of military life. The so-called "unnamed private" was actually Ben Schnall, a private and member of Yank magazine and good friend of Sgt. Baker. The title was a euphemistic shortening of the common WW2 military slang "sad sack of sh-t". War time G.I. humor at its best! In-house shipping is available. Open pickup is Tuesday, Oct. 29 from Noon to 7 pm at our offices in Carroll, OH 43112 or we will provide in-house shipping for this item. We charge $5/lot if you want to pick up a different day.
