The Personal Photo Album Of Oberst Paul Conrath; General Göring Division

This is a well preserved and certainly unique personal photo album of Oberst Paul Conrath of the Regiment General Göring. The album is constructed of heavy cardstock with an off-white faux leather (leatherette) exterior, featuring 50 pages and 27 black and white photographs. The photographs depict Oberst Paul Conrath and his closest friends on an outing, socializing in a manner seldom captured by photographs of this period. Clearly visible is the “General Göring” cuff title of Oberst Paul Conrath, as well as his Iron Cross First Class, the clasp to the Iron Cross 1939 First Class, as well as his Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oakleaves.The album measures 141 mm x 160 mm, and is in better than very fine condition, but with some photographs missing, and some light staining on the cover of the album.
