Description
Grouping to German Cross in gold recipient Ruprecht Rößger. Rößger was born on 30.8.1915 and served as Wachoffizier and Adjuntant in 1939 on F9. He was sent as the first Wachoffizier on M145 (6.M.S.-Flottille) in late 1939 to 38.M.S.-Flottille as Kommandant and Gruppenführer in 1940.  in November 1941 he was commander of 5.M.S.-Flottille before he was head of 21.Räumboots-Flottille from November 1943 until the end of the war.
 
Two very interesting photo albums. One documents his serving time from 1937-1947 with roughly 274 photos inside. Nicely described and subtitled. A very important album with absolutely rare photographs which could have only been taken by an officer. It includes four photos of the battleship "Tirpitz". There are several photos of Generals and Knight's Cross recipient including Eduard Dietl. Rößger is shown with his German Cross in gold several times. All photos come in a red folder.
The other album documents his earlier service time including the world cruise of the Kreuzer Emden from 1935-1936. It comes with roughly 260 photos inside. It includes two original photos of Adolf Hitler.
 
Small pocket size photo album containing 17 photos. It is 30.8.44 dated and was given to him by the "Unteroffiziere des technischen Raumes" as a birthday present.
 
Amazing wall plate holding a metal emblem of 21.R.Fl. It is hand painted with oil and a great piece of art. There must be online one ever made which was for the commander. Height: 22cm.
 
Part of this grouping are 10 copies of details on Rößger as well as his units.
