Hans-Dieter Benz,SS-Ostuf.Stab,Pz.Jg.Abt.5 Born 16-11-20, fell in Poland 22-8-44 Jablonna.
Grouping comprises of his dress 3 place medal bar, 3 place ribbon bar, his black wound badge, general assault badge and sports badge, all awards are pictured worn on his tunic in several of the album photos! Photo album has been assembled during the 60s at a guess, it has over 90 photos with at least 50% uniform or service shots, of note is pics of officers, headgear, and at least one of double cuff titles being worn by the subject officer SS-Schulebraunschweig and another I cant quite make out, there is 4 binders of personal correspondence from Benz to his wife I would estimate 300-400 minimum,plus several telegrams between July '40 and Aug '44 the last letter was written just 2 days prior to his death.
Another binder contains again copious amounts of family docs and photos, including certificates, passports, plus,plus, some SS Documents for the RuSA and other NAZI documents.
A fabulous research project!
