101SO2 - SS Dachau Concentration Camp tunic of Hauptscharfuhrer Walter Miltsch. Witness to one of history's darkest episodes, this SS tunic is perhaps the only surviving example named to a concentration camp guard. Privately tailored, it corresponds in appearance to the Model 1935 standard army tunic which the SS adopted in March 1938. It is fully lined, an upgrade characteristic of private purchase uniforms for commissioned officers and senior NCOs. The liner fabric is light brown, rayon faux satin. Another feature of this tailor-made tunic is the inside button-down pocket on the right side. Below the opening is sewn the name tag reading, " Miltsch W. "

The tunic itself is cut from wool gabardine of officer's quality. Each sleeve has three vertical seams. The use of three vertical panels to form a sleeve instead of a single, broader length of material suggests that only a partial bolt may have been available. Enlisted grade wool was in supply at SS clothing depots, which were often established at concentration camps. Higher quality gabardine however, would likely be scarcer at these rural facilities. The non-regulation construction of the garment may indicate that the tailor was an inmate who customized the uniform according to available resources and his or her visual perception of the Model 1935's physical characteristics. This tunic has a custom tailored collar liner.

Though the surface of the fabric shows mothing, the striking insignia greatly enhances the tunic's overall appearance. The hand-sewn, right collar tab features a horizontal skull wrought in hand-embroidered aluminum wire. The left side rank tab indicates the rank of Hauptscharfuhrer (SS master sergeant). Upon Miltsch's promotion the tab was lifted to add a vertical Litzen strip and then sewn back down. The hand-sewn sleeve eagle is an officer's aluminum flatwire; like the skull tab a private purchase upgrade. The dark green wool felt collar and shoulder straps display the machine sewn silver tresse denoting sergeant's rank.

The matching shoulder straps with black underlay are textbook SS. They are bordered with extremely rare copper-brown waffenfarbe, the service branch color for concentration camp staff. The matching pebbled aluminum buttons are field gray and are all stamped "RZM/SS" on the reverse. Hand-sewn on the right sleeve is the silver-and-black SS Ehrenwinkel, "Old Fighters" chevron which individuals affiliated with the NSDAP prior to January 30, 1933, were authorized to wear. On the lower sleeve is also the dark green wool felt army specialty patch for Oberschirrmeister, or technical sergeant in the motor pool. It indicates the wearer was a senior mechanic and/or driver. "Ref. Cloth Insignia of the SS, by LTC. (Ret.) John R. Angolia Assisted by Stan Cook, Roger James Bender Publishing, Copyright 1983, pp. 432". Qualified SS personnel initially wore army trade patches on their uniforms. The style for Oberschirrmeister is one of the few patterns bordered in silver thread instead of white cotton. The upper left side of the tunic has three loops for a ribbon bar. There are two sets of loops for metal decorations below the pocket flap.

The grouping includes photocopies of original documents from Walter Miltsch's SS personnel file. They list details of his career such as postings, awards and performance evaluation. He was born near Rosenheim in the Bavarian Alps in 1909. Miltsch enlisted in the SA, the brown-shirted para-military organization that protected speakers and kept order at NSDAP assemblies, in November 1927. He transferred to the SS in 1936. Miltsch was posted to Dachau concentration camp where he was responsible for the transportation of inmates to Hartheim Castle where they were executed under the T4 euthenasia program in 1941. Later, Hauptscharfuhrer Miltsch was posted to Konzentrationslager Mauthausen. He survived the war. During the post-war period Miltsch was both a defendant and prosecution witness at war crimes trials of former SS personnel.

A veteran of a U.S. armored division brought Miltsch's tunic home as a war souvenir. Eventually, the veteran sold the tunic to a collector who owned it for the next 35 years. The Miltsch tunic is accompanied by both provenance (an uninterrupted trail of private ownership from the war years until today) and supporting documentation connecting the artifact to the original wearer and period of manufacture. Very few SS tunics of any branch offer both criteria of authenticity. This rare SS concentration camp tunic is completely original and unaltered since the war.$24,900. More Photos

118IMPU1 - Very rare Luftschiffer Litewka ( tunic). At the start of World War I the Imperial German Army had five ( 5) Luftschiffer ( airship ) battalions and one airship company. The airship troops, like the aviation units, were part of the transport troops, which consisted of railway, telegraph, motorized and all avaiation units. In October 1916 the flying troops, the airship troops and the air defense were combined to to form the "Luftstreitkrafte" or aerial forces which separated from the transport troops. The airship units, like their fixed-winged cousins, were in their infancy and required various specialists and numerous volunteers from the multitude of sources. The airship units, like the flying units, allowed those qualified to wear their former service uniforms within the air service. The airship service drew its ranks from the Infantry, Hussars, Dragoon, Engineers, etc. Although the airship service ( formed 1901) predated the flying service ( formed 1912) neither the army or naval units had a qualification badge until August 1920. The bullion badge embroidered on the tunic was added after WWI. The featured Luftschiffer officer tunic is a wartime Litewka ( Lithuanian in origin), the working tunic, like the kleiner rock. The parent regiment would be any regiment that displayed red piping ( here shown on the front closure, front and lower edge of the collar and edge of the cuffs) and blue tabs with copper/yellow color buttons. The litewka was favored tunic with officers of all branches of service because of its comfort, smart appearance being double breasted and short skirt unlike the longer uberrock or mantel. The leutnant sewn-in shoulder boards have light gray waffenfarb ( underlay ) of the Luftschiffer branch of service. On each shoulder board is the gold "L" cipher worn in wartime. On the left upper sleeve is a post-1918 added commemoration wreathed "2" likely indicating his wartime assignment with the 2nd Luftschiffer Battalion ( Berlin - Dresden 3rd Company ). It is unlikely that the "2" would commemorate service on LZ2 as the airship was "lost" in January 1906. Over the upper left breast are loops for a five place ribbon bar. Below the the loops for the ribbon bar is another set of loops to accommodate the Iron Cross 1st Class. The extremely rare bullion hand-embroidered airship badge is displayed on the lower left front. The Army version of the airship badge was without the imperial crown on the wreath. Whereas, the naval version displayed the crown. The interior is lined with gray/green cotton material. It is of interest to note where the lining was opened in order to embroider the bullion airship badge directly to the Litewka. Very rare. $7750. More Photos
