He served with distinction on the Western Front during the First World War and was awarded the Pour le Mérite. Legally, the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht was Adolf Hitler in his capacity as Germany's head of state, a position he gained after the death of President Paul von Hindenburg in August 1934. Unfortunately for Blomberg, his position as the ranking officer of the Third Reich alienated Hermann Göring, Hitler's second-in-command, and Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, Germany's air force and Heinrich Himmler, the Chief of the SS, the security organization of the Nazi Party, and concurrently the chief of all police forces of Germany, who conspired to oust him from power. Göring, in particular, had ambitions of becoming Commander-in-Chief himself of the entire military. In the re-shuffle in 1938, Hitler became the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and retained that position until his suicide on April 30, 1945. Administration and military authority initially lay with the war ministry under Generalfeldmarschall Werner von Blomberg. He resigned in the course of the Blomberg-Fritsch Affair of 1938.\n","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46114739257621,"sku":"G18010","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/a_wedding_attend_55a54930cb338.jpg?v=1692854216"},{"product_id":"eight-second-war-period-german-documents-booklets-g18044","title":"Eight Second War Period German Documents \u0026 Booklets","description":"Eight Second War Period German Documents \u0026amp; Booklets - Range from fair to extremely fine.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46114757148949,"sku":"G18044","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/img_02_a494df24-9278-4c40-9db3-e55abaee2726.jpg?v=1692854236"},{"product_id":"four-german-military-business-cards-mussgay-joachim-basler-raddau-g20957","title":"Four German Military Business Cards; Mussgay, Joachim, Basler, \u0026 Raddau","description":"The first card is inscribed \"FRIEDRICH MUSSGAY \/ SS-STURMBANNFÜHRER, HAUPTMANN D.LDW. \/ Kommander der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD=Einsatzkommandos III\/3\", 68 mm x 105 mm.

During this time he also developed serious eye problems that eventually led to blindness, so that he was forced to retire in 1928 to the island of Sylt.\nWhen the Luftwaffe was established in 1935, despite his blindness he came out of retirement and served as Head of the Military Science at the Reich Air Ministry.

Ufa (Universum Film AG) is a German film company that was established in late 1917 and exists to this day. During the 1930s and WWII it was used as an instrument of Nazi propaganda. Page 1 shows a drawing of the order, carrying the cross with the words inside, as well as the four eagles filling the spaces in between the bars, and the crown symbol with the letter F underneath (for the donor King Frederick II of Prussia, who established it in 1740). Page 2 gives a detailed summary of the movie plot. The movie carries the subtitle “The heroic song of German aviation”. It tells the story of a young lieutenant who has already been awarded the Pour le Merite for his services as a fighter pilot in WWI. The year is 1918, and Lt. Fabian is recalled to the front. After a series of heroic acts by him and his fellow pilots, the war is over. In keeping with the propaganda of the Nazi regime, the social democrats are blamed for signing a peace treaty prematurely and then ruining the German nation. It is a difficult time for the pilots that struggle to find their way into a peace time business. The movie’s happy ending is the resurrection of their wing as part of the 1933 creation of the Luftwaffe. Page 3 lists the makers of the movie as well as the actors. It gives dates and times, and announces the speaker: Pour le Merite pilot Jacobs. Page 4 is empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLieutenant Josef Jacobs (1894–1978) was one of the most successful flying aces of WWI. He achieved 48 victories, and as such was tied in 4th place among all German aces. Jacobs liked everything that was fast: he was also a participant in bob sleighing, car racing (he won the first AVUS race, the forerunner of the Formula 1), and speedboat racing. In the 1930s he owned an aircraft repair and manufacturing company. Even though Jacobs became a major in the reserve of the Luftwaffe, he refused to join the Nazi party and didn’t participate in WWII. Instead he moved to the Netherlands and briefly went into hiding during the war. Afterwards he returned to Germany, owned a construction crane operation, became president of the German Bobsleigh Society, and aided aviation historians of WWI. When he died in 1978, he was the last living aviation recipient of the Pour le Merite. He received a full military funeral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the first picture Jacobs is shown in uniform, wearing an Iron Cross, below it a Prussian pilot’s badge, and above it the Knight’s Cross of the House Order of Hohenzollern. His Pour le Merite is a cut-out that has been fabricated into the picture, so apparently he must not have been rewarded the Pour le Merite at the time the picture was taken. On the bottom it reads “Our successful fighter pilot Lieutenant Jacobs”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second picture shows “Jacobs in his Fokker triplane. The third picture is dated to Oct 1918 in Adlershof, Berlin, and shows Jacobs (third from the left) as part of a group of other highly successful flying aces. They came together for a test of a new plane type that is not specified. The second pilot from the right is then-Captain and later Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe Hermann Göring. All in all, it is stated that these “comrades of Richthofen” (the “Red Baron” flying ace) have “380 confirmed aerial victories” between them. All pilots in the picture were awarded the Pour le Merite (Lt. Bäumer was the only one who hadn’t been awarded his yet at the time when this picture was taken).

In all probability this poster is a reaction to the 1938 “Anschluss” of Austria to the German Reich. The “Anschluss” was the annexation of Austria. It had already been propagated after WWI, but was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. However, both Nazi and non-Nazi organizations continued to fight for a German-Austria in what was called the “Heim ins Reich” (home into the Reich) movement. A plebiscite was planned to determine what the wishes of the Austrian people were, but Hitler, fearing a negative outcome – acknowledging the relative weakness of the Austrian Nazi movement – was already preparing to invade the country. Eventually, he successfully pressured the Austrian government into joining Germany. To the rest of the world it was clear that the proposed legitimacy of the “Anschluss” was all but theatrics. Austria was just the first target. The Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia would soon follow.

In March 1945, this number was assigned to the Staff of the 36th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, also known as SS-Sturmbrigade Dirlewanger, named after their commander, Oskar Dirlewanger (1895–1945). The letter carries his signature in blue ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFootnote: Oskar Dirlewanger has been described by several historians as one of the most brutal and sadistic Nazi soldiers, one going so far to call him “the most evil man in the SS”. He fought in the First World War, was wounded six times, and earned the Iron Cross 2nd and 1st Class. During the Second World War he led the 36th Division, which was made up of convicted criminals. They were put to fighting against partisans, but also to kill civilians in occupied Belarus and in the Warsaw Uprising. The unit is infamous for possibly being the one unit that committed the most, and most atrocious, war crimes. For his actions in Belarus, Dirlewanger received the German Cross in Gold, and after the Warsaw Uprising, he was promoted to SS-Oberführer in August 1944, and received the Iron Cross of the Knight’s Cross in October. He went on to lead his unit in the suppression of the Slovak National Uprising. The letter states that several infantrymen ((B)-Schützen) are to be rehabilitated since January 30, 1945. The names came with an additional list. Their personnel records are to be updated. Since the men in Dirlewanger’s unit were criminals who could seek rehabilitation in fighting for the German Reich, this is a letter about several men who had redeemed themselves in this way. The letter is dated to O.-U. on March 1, 1945. O.-U. stands for Ortsunterkunft (cantonment). This was used when the actual location was not revealed for security reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46119104774421,"sku":"G26455","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/d_8067.jpg?v=1692864825"},{"product_id":"an-early-sa-honourary-death-certificate-of-herr-kaufmann-erich-vogel-g26456","title":"An Early Sa Honourary Death Certificate Of Herr Kaufmann Erich Vogel","description":"This is a very well preserved SA honourary death certificate of Herr Kaufmann Erich Vogel, presented to the SA-Sturm 41\/58 the leader of the SA-Brigade Niederschlesien, hailing the deceased a sacrifice during the years of the resurrection of Germany, The certificate is signed and stamped by the SA-Brigade Führer, with a 33 on the bottom right of the page (presumably 1933 being the year of issue).

Himmler thinks it would make a good Christmas present. The book was written by Friedrich Hasselbacher. Feldlogen were criticized since the end of the First World War, particularly in the context of the Stab-in-the-back myth, as a means of undermining the government and therefore the German Reich, stemming from an unpatriotic and Jew friendly conduct.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46119181844757,"sku":"G26695","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/d_9216.jpg?v=1748027047"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/collections\/europe-germany-third-reich-documents-photos-other.oembed?page=25","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
