Description
This grouping was sold in our last auction but the payment plan of the buyer did not work out. It never left the office and is now available again.
 
Rare family photo album set up by a brother (probably Walter Kraas) of Knight´s Cross recipient SS-Sturmbannführer Boris Kraas and SS-Brigadeführer Hugo Kraas, recipient of the Oak Leaves to the Knight´s Cross and commander 2.SS-Pz.Gren.Rgt. LSSAH.

There is a very impressive photo inside the album showing all of the 4 brother. The youngest brother (Walter) and owner of that album with his NPEA uniform to the left followed by Heer officer Emil Kraas and his two SS brothers to the right. Hugo Kraas is already decorated with the Knight´s Cross. His brother Boris wears his German Cross in gold.

There are quite few very interesting photos of Boris and Hugo Kraas inside this album. One shows Hugo Kraas attending to the wedding of his brother Emil with his Knight´s Cross and Oak Leaves on his crutches.

83 photos in total. Are photos are glued to the pages. The photo of the 4 brother got a bend.

It came with a "Der deutsche Sieg im Westen" propaganda magazine named to "Walter Kraas, Uffz."
