He was a hoarder and brought home many souvenirs from the War. Being in close contact with German prisoners he was ideally placed. I have sold most of his items as it was a long time ago, but I wish to hold onto the Iron Cross as a keepsake (the author obviously decided to part with the medal as it is on the tunic). I know this was on the tropical tunic which he brought back together with some other badges, a steel helmet and a cap. I also came across part of a letter he wrote together with a photo of him late in the war in Germany. I enclose this and should I come across anything else I will contact you. I thank you for taking an interest into my Fathers service, he was quite a character and would have been amused’ (illustrated).

**VERY RARE**Original**WW2 DAK Panzer Tank Troops North Africa Campaign Locally Theatre Made Deutsches Afrikakorps Cuff Title. Sn 23068:4 - 23068:4
The "Afrikakorps" cuff title was first officially authorized as a corps designation badge on July 18, 1941, for members of the DAK (Deutsches Afrikakorps) who served in North Africa. Before this date, and even after, some soldiers (particularly officers) had their own versions privately made. Early, locally produced cuff titles exhibit variations due to their manufacturing origin in North Africa (likely Tripoli) and Italy, where they were contracted out by local Arab or Italian manufacturers. These early and private purchase versions are distinct from the later "Afrika" campaign cuff title, a formal award instituted by Hitler in January 1943, which was of a standardized design for all three services. "Theatre-made" Afrika Korps cuff titles were unofficial, locally produced variations that pre-dated the official award or were privately commissioned by officers. These differ from the standard-issue titles in materials, colour and construction method. Today, these early theatre-made originals are very rare and highly sought after by collectors. This is an original, very rare, early Locally Theatre made, WW2 Afrika Korps (German: Deutsches Afrikakorps) Panzer Troops cuff title. The black material and silver embroidered edge bands and gold stitching ‘AFRIKAKORPS’ are clean and intact. The price for this very rare DAK cuff title includes UK delivery.

WW2 Nazi German Technical Emergency Corps ‘TeNo’ (Technsiche Nothilife) Armband. N 156 - N 156
The Technische NothilfeR39;(Technical Emergency Assistance) was a Nazi German organisation, which began as a strike breaker group after the First World War but developed into a volunteer emergency response unit. During the Nazi period the ‘TeNo’ became in charge of technical civil defence. The ‘TeNo’ was founded on September 30, 1919, by Otto Lummitzsch with the stated purpose to protect and maintain vital & strategic facilities (e.g. gas works, water works, power stations, railways, post offices, agriculture concerns and food production activities). At the time, these vital infrastructure facilities were under threat from sabotage and attack during a period bordering on civil war, which was caused by the collapse of German economy following the end of World War I and exacerbated by a spate of politically motivated wildcat strikes, usually by left-wing elements. In effect they were strike-breakers often using violence and coercion to end strikes. The armband is made of white cotton material and has central embroidered Swastika and ‘TeNo’ badge. The back of the armband has a nice ink stamp ‘Eagle with Swastika’ (all illustrated). Image 3 is images of the inside of the armband. The armband measures 7 ¾” x 4”. It is undamaged with age related staining. All of the stitching is intact. The price for this original Nazi piece includes UK delivery. N 156
