44. Christoph Gärtner Auktion - 27. June 2019 - Philatelic Collection Lots: Overseas, Thematics, Europe

Huge group with the balance of correspondence of a Swiss volunteer in the Wehrmacht. These are all covers and/or letters going home to Switzerland (Most/all to Zuerich) There are 16 covers , and 15 of these have contents. In addition there is a written but uncanceled (presumably inserted) postcard, and there are 15 additional letters; in total, a huge amount of written documentation from a member of Marine-Artillerie-Abteilung 240. This artlllery unit was stationed on the English Channel by Wimereux. It was destroyed by the Allies during the Normandy invasion in September of 1944. Some of the letters give the location as 'Kanalkueste' (Channel Coast) and one of the locations has been excised by a censor. The covers are all censored, as volunteer feldpost should be -- many multiple times, as are many of the contents. The Swiss, being nominally neutral, were not allowed to join the German army. However, approximately 1000 of them did so, according to the Michel feldpost handbook. Such feldpost is such very scarce.
For this lot an additional 7% for Import Expenses (Taxes) will be charged.

Christoph Gärtner made his hobby into his profession. He started in 1984 and within two decades the Gärtner GmbH developed into a world leading mail order house for postal stationery and became a specialist for thematics and postal history.
In april 2005 the idea to build a place where collectors, customers and investors from all over the world could meet, was realized.
Since that time both, the Mail Order House and Auction House Gärtner, have been united on 2.700 m2 in the easy accessible building owned by Christoph Gärtner.
Generous viewing and storage rooms, a private auction hall, enough parking space and an underground car park are available.
