SOLD SOLD (19/03) *Framed Original WW2 Nazi German Operation Bernhard Counterfeit British Bank Of England £10 Note Recovered From Lake Como Italy In 1973. Sn 22480 - 22480
Operation Bernhard was a Nazi attempt to finance intelligence operations by using counterfeit notes to pay spies and to buy supplies, including gold. Started in 1940 under the name Operation Andreas, the idea was revived under the name Operation Bernhard in 1942, led by SS Major Friederich Bernhard Krueger. The Nazi’s hoped that, by flooding the UK with counterfeit notes, they would destabilise the economy. At that time, British banknotes had a simple, elegant design, little changed since 1855. The black printing appeared on only one side of the white, cotton-rag paper, with a small image of Britannia in the top left-hand corner. In 1942, Krueger identified prisoners in concentration camps with knowledge of engraving, printing, graphics and banking. He assembled a team of 142 Jewish prisoners at Sachsenhausen camp near Berlin. The prisoners studied vast quantities of genuine banknotes. They focused on :discovering the secret security marks; engraving the image of Britannia, also known as a vignette; perfecting the banknote paper; forging signatures; and mastering the printing process. About 150 different security marks were identified. Security marks are intentional, minor defects, different for each denomination of note. The flaws had been introduced as anti-counterfeiting devices. By detecting these intentional defects, the Nazis were able to create high quality printing plates for the £5, £10, £20 and £50 banknotes. But of course, printing plates need paper. Banknote paper has a watermark and a very distinct feel. The Nazis experimented and eventually managed to create paper that had the same “look and feel”. Once printed, the counterfeit notes had to be aged. A team of prisoners, with dirty hands, repeatedly rubbed and folded the notes, creating the desired “wear and tear”. The result was a counterfeit note that was indistinguishable to the eye from a genuine note. Despite success with printing plates and paper, the Nazis tried, but failed, to crack the numbering system on banknotes and were forced to re-use serial numbers from genuine banknotes. This led to the first counterfeit note being detected in 1943. It had passed through a British bank in Morocco. At that time, the serial numbers of notes that had been withdrawn from circulation were recorded in leather-bound ledgers. An eagle-eyed Bank clerk noticed that the note in front of him had already been “paid”, so had to be a forgery. Once it was known that the issue was widespread, the Bank responded to Operation Bernhard by withdrawing from circulation all notes with a face value higher than £5. When it became clear to the Nazis that defeat was inevitable, the prisoners were moved from Germany to Austria, where they would continue to produce counterfeit banknotes. But the Allied forces closed in and the prisoners were liberated by allied forces on 6 May 1945. The Nazis attempted to destroy and hide large amounts of forged notes towards the end of the war. Operation Bernhard counterfeits turned up in circulation for a number of years after the War. It wasn’t until some 20 years later, in 1964, that a £10 note was reintroduced, followed by £20 in 1970, and by £50 in 1981. These new notes were more sophisticated and colourful than the elegant white banknotes they replaced and much harder to counterfeit. This is an original Nazi Operation Bernhard forged Bank of England £10 bank note. This note was reputedly recovered from Lake Como in Italy in 1973. The bank note is clean and the serial number is in the known serial number range of Nazi forged notes. The paper is clean and has the correct forged watermark and forged Chief cashier signature. The note is mounted on card and enclosed in a glazed frame. Below the note is a later descriptive label with printed Nazi ‘SS’ runes (illustrated). The rear of the frame is mounted with cord for wall hanging. The price includes UK delivery**AS WITH ALL OF OUR STOCK THIS ITEM IS GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL** Sn 22480 (Corridor Shelves)

SOLD SOLD (10/03) German, WW2, GM38, RL1-41/82 Volksgasmaske (Peoples Gas Mask) Luftschutz Warndienst (LSW) or Air Raid Warning Service with With Steel Carrying Container. Sn - 22846:85
The People's Gas Mask was a principle developed in several countries during the Second World War that provided for the supply of gas masks to large parts of the civilian population. This was intended to reduce the effects of the possible use of chemical weapons in the bombing war against settlements. In most cases, the People's Gas Masks were less effective than the military versions but could be produced more quickly and cheaply. The German "People's Gas Mask" from Drägerwerke , which also went by this name, was in its original version a hood-like construction that covered most of the head. Later versions did without the hood to save material; they only covered the face and were fastened with straps at the back of the head, as is still common today. Towards the end of the war, the quality of the people's gas masks declined more and more, and the last version from 1944 was only made of thin, rubberized material. All versions had two separate viewing lenses, a round, screw-on filter and an exhalation valve. The mask was issued to the population from July 1937. It was intended for use for a maximum of 20 minutes, depending on the chemical agent (five minutes against phosgene), and was primarily intended to enable the wearer to escape from the endangered area. This is a German Volksgasmaske black rubber gas mask with aluminium filter canister. The mask is a pull-on full head style with moulded rubber straps, orange plastic eyepieces and a one-way rubber exhaust valve in front of the nose. On the outside of the rubber is an orange waffenampt paint stamp 28 waffenampt Wa A 104. The section inside the mask above the canister has a one-way rubber and steel inlet valve encircled by a thick band of compressed paper. The valve is crimped onto the mask by an external metal band. The removable aluminium screw-in canister is unpainted with the embossed figures 'RL1. 38/4' and '5 125' on its upper face as well as a swastika waffenampt 'Wa A10'. The mask is contained in its original metal container with a hinged lid and retains most of its original black painted finish. The lid of the container is embossed D.R.G.M. AUG ZSCHIEDRICH RL.41/82 together with other lettering. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22846:85

Machine embroidered applied with Bevo centre on red cotton triangular pennant. The emblem depicts a swastika and sword in the centre of a golden wreath.

Initially most members were ex-soldiers or unemployed men. Violent and often disorderly, the SA were primarily responsible for the protection of leading Nazis and disrupting other political opponents’ meetings, although they often had a free rein on their activities. The “SA -Wehrmannschaft” (SA -Military-defence-training-groups) was formed in January 1939 to provide pre- and post-military defence training to all civilian males aged from 18 to 65 years old.

Original Nazi Waffen-SS Eastern Youth Volunteer Arm Insignia. N 149. - N 149
Arm insignia, such as the example offered, were worn by SS-Helfer units, comprised of youth volunteers from the Soviet Union. Most of these personnel served as flak crew. During World War II, the Waffen-SS recruited or conscripted significant numbers of non-Germans. Of a peak strength of 950,000 in 1944, the Waffen-SS consisted of some 400,000 “Reich Germans” and 310,000 ethnic Germans from outside Germany’s pre-1939 borders (mostly from German-occupied Europe), the remaining 240,000 being non-Germans. Thus, at their numerical peak, non-Germans comprised 25% of all Waffen-SS troops. The units were under the control of the SS Führungshauptamt (SS Command Main Office) led by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. Upon mobilisation, the units' tactical control was given to the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (High Command of the Armed Forces). Measuring; 8cm x 6 ½ cm and made from cotton, the badge is in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. N 149. (Small flag/armband box)
