GERMAN WWII GRAVE MARKER.

A highly interesting artefact of WWII being a grave marker, unnamed, measuring 75cm in length, 38 width of the cross, 10cm x 7cm sections of wood. Hand chiselled to the upper part of the cross is a German style Balkan Cross with lettering below ‘UNBERANTER DEUTSCHER KRIEGEP’ (Unknown German Soldier) with the grave number ‘111’ on the reverse side. Recently purchased from probably the best combat uniform and equipment collection in the United Kingdom comprising Army tropical, Waffen SS, Luftwaffe paratrooper and many other items of the same genre. The collection was begun by the then 15 year old boy who used to visit our own shop in London in the very early 1980’s and has built this collection up over 40 years culminating in the writing of excellent books on these subjects.
