Grouping to the book author of „Endkampf zwischen Mosel und Inn. XIII. SS-Armeekorps" Erich Spiwoks. Spiwoks was a SS soldier himself and in good contact  

Spiwoks was in good contact with Oelkers which he mentioned in his book a few times. The book even shows a photo of him. Oelkers gave him all his photos, medals, documents (the book author never sold them) and his M36 chained SS dagger. Our consignor got all items straight of the book author, however, he sadly sold the M36 chained dagger in the 90s.

Oelkers started serving with Leibstandarte SS „Adolf Hitler“ pre-war, served with SS-Polizei-Division and SS-Panzergrenadier-Division „Götz von Berlichingen“. He was involved in the battles on the Rhine at the end of the war. 

Please see other items to Oelkers part of this auction.
