AUCHENTOSHAN SELECTSingle malt.Auchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt. Similarly unusual is its use of triple distillation to produce a purer spirit that’s light and mildly fruity.Situated just outside Clydebank, the distillery was lucky to survive the 1941 blitz relatively unscathed. Only one of its warehouses was damaged by a bomb blast, and another near miss provided a blast crater that later became the distillery’s picturesque pond.40% ABV / 70clANTIQUARY 12 YEAR OLDBlended whisky.40% ABV / 70cl

GLENLIVET CAPTAIN'S RESERVESingle malt.One of the very first distilleries in Scotland to be granted an official licence, after the passing of the licencing act in 1823, Glenlivet distillery has become synonymous with Speyside whisky. So much so, that at one point 28 other distilleries in the area adopted “Glenlivet” as a suffix to their own brand in order to piggyback on the reputation Glenlivet had built for itself. Although that practise has fallen by the wayside in recent years some independent bottlers still use it.The Glenlivet brand is now one of the most recognisable in the world, and despite the distillery undergoing an expansion and upgrade (beginning) in 2010, their iconic 12-Year-Old expression still had to be discontinued for a few years before production was able to catch up with demand.This expression has been finished in Cognac casks.40% ABV / 70clAUCHENTOSHAN AMERICAN OAKSingle malt.Auchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt.

Interesting WW2 German Luftwaffe Document which is Signed by Luftwaffe General Gunther Korten who Died of Wounds After the Failed Assassination Attempt on Adolf Hitler known as the 20th July Bomb Plot, the partially printed and typescript document relates to the recommendation for the award of the War Service Cross 1st class with swords for Major Heinrich Golcher and Major Walter Kienitz. The document is signed first by Luftwaffe Oberst Rudolf Wodarg and then underneath signed by Korten. The document has punch holes to the side. Accompanied by a signature from a cut document signed by Luftwaffe General Karl Koller, the last chief of the General Staff of the Luftwaffe. Gunther Korten was born on 26th July 1898 in Cologne. At the outbreak of WW1 he was a cadet in the Prussian army. He served throughout the war in a engineering battalion of the Prussian army. He remained in the army in the post war years. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1934. He served as an administration officer before joining the general staff. He rose through the ranks of the Luftwaffe, on the 25th August 1943 he accepted the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Luftwaffe after General Hans Jeschonnek committed suicide. Korsten was present at the Wolf’s Lair, when on 20th July 1944, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg planted a bomb in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Korsten was seriously wounded in the blast and died of his wounds two days later on the 22nd July 1944. He was posthumously promoted to Colonel-General. He held many awards including the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross and he was posthumously awarded the 20th July Wound Badge. Karl Koller was born in Glonn, Bavaria on 22nd February 1898. He served in the Bavarian army during WW1 before transferring to the Air Service where he qualified as a pilot. He flew operationally before being captured by the British and taken as a POW. Koller joined the Luftwaffe in 1935. Koller served in administration and staff roles and was highly rated by Adolf Hitler. He rose steadily through the ranks of the Luftwaffe. In 1945, Koller was present at the final birthday celebration of Adolf Hitler in the Fuhrer Bunker. He remained in Berlin until he was ordered to fly out to Obersalzburg to inform Goring of Adolf Hitlers plan to remain in Berlin and commit suicide. He was taken into custody by US forces on 7th May 1945 at Castle Fischhorn at Zell am See.

WWII group of four, 1939-1945 Star, Air Crew Europe Star, Defence Medal, War Medal, Caterpillar Club gold Caterpillar Club lapel pin inscribed F/Lt N. A. Clark and three Royal Air Force Pilot's Flying Log Books of Flight Lieutenant N A W Clark, including certificates of qualifications, first pilot, 1942-1957 Sold with two typescript accounts by Flight Lieutenant Norman Alfred Wadham Clark on his being shot down on the night of Friday March 24th, 1944, his reception by Dutch citizens (who turned him over to the police) and his life as a prisoner of war. With a full crew Flight Lieutenant 'Knobby' Clarke, aged 27 of 625 Squadron RAF Kelstern, piloted Lancaster ME684 on what was to be the final major raid by Bomber Command on Berlin, on the 24 / 25 March 1944. Particularly high winds on that night proved a severe additional hazard. Many of the Lancasters were 'coned' by German search lights and came under fire both from the ground and night fighters. 72 aircraft, including Clark's, failed to return. Blown off course and faced with the option of returning into the bomb stream, Clark released his bomb load over a German airfield. On the return the aircraft was heavily damaged by flak when over Varseveld. At 00:47 hours Clark gave the order to his crew of six to jump: "I sat still at the controls; I thought and tried to make one final attempt to control the engines and take it home alone. I felt very lonely having lost my crew and great pals. I flew her around a few more times, turned the nose towards Germany (hoping it would set fire to something useful) and climbed out of the seat. She went into a dive. I hastily pulled her out, reset the rimmer controls and bailed out of the nose...". All seven RAF men survived, three of whom evaded capture.  For a detailed account of the incident, including the recollections of another of the crew that night Air Gunner Sergeant John Munroe, read here: http://aircrewremembered.com/clark-norman-arthur-wadham.html Condition

Large collection of over 100 war-date letters written by and to Lt. Lloyd P. Scott of the U.S. Army. Many of the letters are written in the early years of the war during his time training to be an aviation cadet, with Scott detailing his training exercises and flying cross country, and his family and friends telling him all of the gossip from home. Fourteen of Scott’s letters were sent through V-mail while he was overseas in 1945. Some of these letters read in part: ‘...I am at a Replacement Depot here in England. We don’t have much to do here. I worked for about two hours here this morning censoring enlisted men’s mail, that is all that I have done since I have been here...English pubs are a lot smaller than the U.S. beer joint...I don’t have a thing to except eat. Of course I never get up for breakfast...After a few months of this life I don’t know if I ever will be able to go to work...Well I have finally arrived at my final destination. It was two years to the day from the time I left for the army. I am now in France and living in the Chapel of a French convent. The beds that we sleep in were formerly occupied by German officers...Well I am still doing nothing. I go to a lecture now and then but that is pretty easy...We are getting a broadcast of Bob Hope on the radio now...I now have in 12 missions. The next one will be known as 12B, they don’t call it 13 around here not that the boys are superstitious, just as a precaution...I have a new bombardier now, they made a navigator out of my old one...The war news is looking better all the time. I listen to the to the radio every night and we have a large map here that we keep the battle lines marked up on...The war news is looking pretty good now. I have been taking some pictures...will send them home as soon as I get them printed...When I speak of a mission I mean the kind that you go over Germany with bombs in the bomb bay and let em have it. At one time I thought it was a gag about a German city being missing after an air raid, but it is done. The war news is looking better all the time...’ Accompanied by letters from the War Department to Scott along with his enlistment record, a photo postcard, depicting six pilots and their planes preparing to take off for night flying at Randolph Field, Texas, and a wooden frame, 11.5 x 7.75 in., presenting two photos of Scott, one as a young man in training and the other as a full-fledged pilot. Personal items of Scott’s in this lot include his belt and dog tag. The final piece of this lot is the April 3, 1945 edition of the ‘Frontpost’ newspaper, 4pp. 8 x 11 in., captioned ‘News for German Soldiers, Published by the American Forces in Western Europe’. Articles in the paper include ‘Mass Surrender in the West’, ‘Russians Deep in Austria’, ‘General Shoots Gestapo Flees’, ‘Shoot Ruthlessly on Population’, ‘Von Papen Arrested’, etc. Overall, very good. With over 100 war-date letters, this lot is certainly worthy of more research.

A brown leather-bound journal, 9 x 11.5 in., which tells the story of the German Army Uffz. Korps. through forty-five photos and numerous handwritten entries.

The fourth page features the quote: 'The Uffz. Corps is the backbone of the army - Molkte' in a beautiful caligraphic hand. The following seven pages list the members of the regiment and feature their headshots signed in white ink. The rest of the album contains a written account of the regiment's experiences from 1939-1940, with a few photos added showing the men enjoying their time on leave. Different members of the regiment add their own touch to the album by recounting their marching orders, battles, medals awarded to them, truces, sightseeing, weddings, poems, and more. In part: '...28.11.1939 The campaign in Poland was behind us. Our vehicles were taken away by the rapid march in the east and in short time they were again sent to the west...19.1.1940 an evening of bowling...of comradely evenings that we spent together in the Non-Commissioned Officer-Corps...May 10, 1940: Like a bolt from the blue, the order came when we were deployed against France...we hadn’t expected it. The timing really came as a surprise...May 10, 1940: In the early hours of the morning countless...regiments crossed the border to confront the enemy in the west; We are also there...We will march to the border...near Wallendorf we will cross it...May 12, 1940: ...we walk a few kilometers...unexpectedly in the afternoon; there are enemy planes that deal more than a substantial amount of damage...Sergeant Wiesdler[?]...attacked by a bomb and wounded...from the most hostile resistance in the west...a Belgium border post must be taken by tanks...7.7.1940: ...we’re being moved to Paris!...7.8.1940: ...Sergeant Wiesdler[?] has recovered from his wound, sent back to the company...' Interestingly, the last entry is two photos, one of two SS-Stermmann officers and one of a young boy dressed in his Hitler Youth uniform who coincidentally looks to be the younger version of one of the SS officers in the first photo. Several of the entries have a loose sheet with them giving the translation from old German into modern German. The back cover shows signs of repairs. Lot includes a map with the path the regiment took clearly marked out. This journal gives excellent insight into the military history of the regiment and the daily life of the German soldier. A remarkable relic worth further research.

REINHARD HEYDRICH DINNER PLATE An extraordinary relic, a dinner plate once owned and used by REINHARD HEYDRICH (1904-1942), the architect of the Final Solution who was slain in a bomb attack by British-trained Czech and Slovak agents. The 10.75 in. diameter plate bears a 1.75 in. very ornate gilt filigree band with Greek key edge about the rim, and Heydrich's initials 'R H' appear at center, reminiscent of lightning bolts and SS runes. The bottom of the plate bears the name and trademark: 'TIRSCHENREUTH BAVARIA'. The plate is in untouched condition. A chilling relic!

The red field includes a winged skeleton clothed in a black robe while in flight. In his left hand he holds a black shield with a white border, and his right hand is upraised, clutching a sword. This placard was likely situated in a briefing room used to formulate plans for the squadron. This particular squadron was formed on Nov. 20, 1940 and deactivated on Jan. 22, 1946. During World War II it participated in many campaigns, fighting in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Sicily, Rome, Burma, and more. Chipping to the paint throughout, lightly soiled, else very good.
