Paratrooper Document and Photo Grouping to Feldwebel (Sergeant) Hans Conrad-The grouping consists of the following:

1) Small snapshot of Conrad wearing full paratrooper gear— the caption on the reverse reads December 1940, just before my first jump at -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit); next, a postcard size photo of Conrad with a comrade — in the photo, Conrad wears his Iron Cross 1st Class medal and Iron Cross 2nd Class ribbon; last, three large PX photos showing paratrooper training jumps - these mass-produced photos were sold at shops at military bases (known as military exchanges or PXs in American terminology);

2) Large, early award document for the Fallschirmschützenabzeichen (Paratrooper Badge) issued in Berlin on 11 February 1941. Document has a facsimile signature of Generalleutnant Gustav Kastner-Kirdorf (awarded the German Cross in Gold on 21 April 1943; committed suicide in Berchtesgaden on 4 May 1945);

3) Award document for the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (Iron Cross 2nd Class) issued on 12 June 1941, showing that Oberjäger Conrad was assigned to the 14. Sturm-Regiment (14th Company of the Assault Regiment). The document is signed by Generalmajor Eugen Meindl, the Commander of the elite paratrooper Sturm-Regiment (Assault Regiment);

4) Award document for the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse (Iron Cross 1st Class) issued on 22 June 1941, also showing that Oberjäger Conrad was assigned to the 14. Sturm-Regiment. This document is signed by General der Flieger (Full General), Kurt Student, the Kommandierender General der Fallschirmjäger (Commanding General of Paratroopers. Conrad's Iron Cross documents were awarded to him for his actions during the invasion of Crete in May 1941 (the Meindl and Student signatures are absolutely top shelf for such a Crete document grouping);

5) Award document for Die Medaille Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42 (Medal for the Winter Battle in the East 1941/42), also known as the Ostmedaille (East [Campaign] Medal), issued on 24 August 1942, when Conrad was still serving with the 14. Sturm-Regiment. Document is signed by Major Walter Gericke (Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves Recipient and German Cross in Gold Recipient), the Commander of the Il. Bataillon of the Sturm-Regiment (IInd Battalion of the Assault Regiment); in addition to this document, there is a document dated 20 April 1943, regarding Conrad's award of the Ostmedaille. At this time, Conrad was assigned to the 7./Erdkampfschule der Luftwaffe (7" Company of the Ground Combat School of the Air Force); the 6./Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6 (6th Company of Paratrooper Regiment 6) forwarded his awarded document to the ground combat school and requested that the actual medal be presented to Conrad;

6) award document for the Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe (Ground Combat Badge of the Air Force) dated 30 October 1942. The document reveals that it was awarded to Conrad as a member of the 14.

Pretty, But Only Part One
Format: Hardcover
Absolutely beautiful copy, but does not include part 2, “Good Wives,” which is pretty commonplace in publishing today. And I could not find a part two that would match, so I still had to buy a separate book with both.

Not the Complete Book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This review is for the Wordsworth Classics Luxe edition of Little Women. Quality issues aside - the first thing to know is that this is NOT the complete version of this book. It is only chapters 1-23, or Part 1, and the full book has 47 chapters including Part 2. It is rare to see the book split like this, and wasn't even something I considered when purchasing it. It doesn’t say this anywhere in the product description. Now, onto quality: The good: This book has a lovely cover and interior page design. It also has a nice orange coloring on the sides and a standard quality ribbon. The text seems to be a good size and would be comfortable for reading. The bad: The overall quality is very poor. The book is made of what feels like construction paper, and it arrived with many blemishes and defects to its sides and corners. This book looks like it’s 25 years old, and is definitely not worth a cost of $20. Even if you were to purchase a new copy in relatively good shape, I can’t see this offering any kind of long term durability. Overall, I would not recommend this product to someone looking for a nice reading or display copy, or the full version, of Little Women. As a note: I also purchased the Luxe edition of Jane Eyre which had the same quality issues. I left a similar review on that page, although the full contents of that book appeared to be there.
