Description
Grouping to the SS war photographer (Kriegsberichter) Detlev Möller.
The grouping originally came with awards which have been sold separately.
 
The group contains a very rare machine-stiched (RZM style) cufftitle SS-Kriegsberichter. The SS runes have been carefully removed. Most likely period time.
Black thread from attaching to the uniform left. Clearly worn. Very good condition. No damage.
Full length: 48cm.
 
Detlev Möller was possibly sent from Waffen-SS to Wehrmacht. The fieldpost number which is on one of the cards part of the grouping was 08118-A which means he possibly served with Stab/Divisionsgruppe 137 or Stab/Grenadier-Regiment 448 from at least 1942.
That could well be a reason which he removed the runes.
 
This grouping was discussed by collectors here.
 
A small but rare grouping!
