WW2 RAF Historically Important Oslo Gestapo HQ Low Level Daylight Raid Pilot’s DSO., MBE., DFC & Bar AE. Group of Nine Medals. This outstanding grouping was awarded to Wing Commander Douglas Alfred George Parry who received an immediate DSO for the Oslo raid and the Bar to the DFC for a daylight attack on the Knepsack (Cologne) power station, where he found himself alone, to the delight of the German anti aircraft batteries. Comprising: Distinguished Service Order , Breast Badge of a Member of the British Empire, Distinguished Flying Cross (1941) & Bar, 1939/45 Star, Aircrew Europe Star, Defence Medal, War Medal, EIIR 1953 Coronation Medal, Air Efficiency Medal (GVIR) “ACT SQN LDR D.A.G. PARRY RAFVR”. Group remains mounted court style as originally worn ... Pilots Flying Log Book, this covering the period 8th April 1939 until 6th September 1944 ... Original British Passport when flying a BOAC Mosquito on the “Ball Bearing” Run to Sweden ... A folder of research etc. The Recommendation of the award of the Distinguished Service Order was raised on the 2nd October 1942. “On September 25th Squadron Leader Parry was detailed to lead 4 aircraft to attack the Gestapo Headquarters of the Quisling rally in Oslo Norway. It was a flight that required good leadership determination and accurate flying. Press reports and photographs have shown that the raid was a great success. The flight and actual attack was carried out from very low level, actually 660 miles had to be flown before the target was reached. Squadron Leader Parry led his flight straight at the target and himself scored direct hits on the centre building. Over the target the formation was attacked by 3 F.W. 190’s but in spite of this the attack was pressed home and by skilful flying and good evasive action the fighters were forced to break off the combat about 30 miles from the target. It was a difficult mission to bomb one set of buildings from roof-top height in the capital city of Norway but owing to the good and skilful leadership of this Officer it was carried out exactly to plan. Squadron Leader Parry has now completed 60 Operational flights and is a pilot of outstanding ability. Officer Commanding Comments. Strongly recommended for the award of the Distinguished Service Order. This operation was led with determination and efficiency, despite attacks by enemy aircraft on the run up to the target. Apart from this individual incident, Squadron Leader Parry has invariably shown determination on many sorties since Mosquitos commenced operations and he has been instrumental in maintaining a high standard of moral in the Squadron during a difficult period.” Recommendation for the Bar to the Distinguished Flying Cross was raised on the 28th August 1942. On the 25th August F/Lt Parry was detailed to attack Knepsack (Cologne) power station in daylight. The weather conditions at the time were almost clear sky, good visibility though some haze near the ground. The attack had to be made from low level to ensure sufficiently accurate bombing of the comparatively small target. In view of this it was decided that the whole operation should be carried out at low level. F/Lt Parry led two other aircraft which were detailed to attack targets in the same locality. One of these aircraft failed to return whilst the other attacked an alternative. Due partly to ground haze and partly a large number of insects sticking to the windscreen the pilots view ahead was restricted and conditions for low level flying were not easy. In spite of these difficulties and with the full knowledge that his reception from ground defences would be severe, the target was attacked with great determination and in the face of intense A.A, fire direct hits were scored. F/Lt Parry has now carried out 10 operational sorties during this, his second tour. Previously he had completed 43 sorties during his first tour for which he was given a non immediate award of the DFC. he has always displayed the greatest courage and Initiative. I strongly recommend the Immediate award of a Bar to the DFC.” Recommendation for the award of the DFC was raised on the 29th April 1941. Pilot Officer Parry has been carrying out operational flying by day and night in no. 110 (Hyderabad) Squadron since 19th July 1940. He is an extremely reliable pilot and he carries out his operational tasks in a resolute manner and with conspicuous success. Two thirds of his operational flying has been carried out on the same aircraft without sustaining any damage whatsoever by faulty handling, although the aircraft on many occasions has been badly hit by enemy fire. By his resolve and cheerful bearing, this volunteer reserve officer has been an example and inspiration to the other pilots in his Squadron and I can not speak to highly of his services. I recommend him in the strongest possible terms for the award for which he is now recommended for the second time. Wing Commander Douglas Alfred George Parry DSO., MBE., DFC & Bar, AE. was born in April 1915 he was was known to all as George, rummer has it that like “George” the aircraft automatic pilot, he always flew a steady course to and from the target. He joined the RAFVR starting pilot training at No.20 EFTS in April 1939. qualifying as a Pilot in July 1940 he was posted to 110 Squadron operating the Bristol Blenheim. It was here that he learnt his skill as a low level pilot, undertaking low level raids over occupied France and shipping. He was awarded the DFC in 1941 and at the end of his first tour volunteered to remain with the Squadron. In October 1941 he received a telephone call from an old Commanding Officer who was then with 105 Squadron. Parry was offered a posting to 105 Squadron and was to become one of the first operational pilots of the new “Wooden Wonder” the De Havilland Mosquito. In the following year he was involved in a number of low level operations in the new aircraft and in August 1942 flew a stripped out Mosquito “Airliner” in the colours of BOAC to Sweden carrying diplomatic mail and returning with Ball Bearings. During his time in Sweden he was ordered to carry at all times a flare pistol and if there was any chance of the “Mossie” being examined or stolen by the Germans he was to destroy it. The special British Passport used for these civilian run operations is included in the lot. Back with his unit in September 1942 he was briefed to lead his most daring operation to date. On the 25th September he was briefed to lead 4 aircraft in daylight to attack the Gestapo Headquarters in Oslo Norway. His task to destroy the building and all information on resistance units and second fold to destroy a parade being held by the pro Nazi Quisling. Reaching Oslo, the attack began a roof top height, the bombs fell on their targets with devastating results. However unknown to the RAF and our four Mosquitos, FW190 German fighter aircraft were taking part in a flypast over the Quisling Parade, the fighters attacked shooting down one Mosquito but the other three including Parry made their escape. He continued to participate in low level operations until 1943 when he was finely “screened” from Ops for a rest and it appears that he was then posted as an instructor and then Staff appointments. He remained with the RAF until 1947 and then joined Boulton Paul Company in Norwich. He kept his links with the RAFVR serving as CO of the 3620 (County of Norfolk) Fighter Control Unit and a CO of an Air Training Squadron. He later became a Warning Officer of the UK Warning and Monitoring Organisation and was awarded the MBE in 1976. He died in 1999 and was honoured with a three column obituary in the Times.

The Dam Busters, (Warner Brothers, 1955), original film poster, numbered 55/290 54 x 69½cm (21 x 27in) The Dam Busters (1955) is a British Second World War film starring Michael Redgrave and Richard Todd. It was directed by Michael Anderson. The film recreates the true story of Operation Chastise when in 1943 the RAF's 617 Squadron attacked the Möhne, Eder and Sorpe dams in Germany with Barnes Wallis's "bouncing bomb". The film was based on the books The Dam Busters (1951) by Paul Brickhill and Enemy Coast Ahead (1946) by Guy Gibson. The film's reflective last minutes convey the poignant mix of emotions felt by the characters – triumph over striking a successful blow against the enemy's industrial base is greatly tempered by the sobering knowledge that many died in the process of delivering it.

Col Otto Ernst Remer KC OL signed 6 x 4 vintage portrait photo soldier and political activist: born Neu Brandenburg, Germany 1912; died Marbella, Spain 5 October 1997. Otto Ernst Remer's career peaked in July 1944 when he helped, perhaps decisively, to change world history, tipping the balance in favour of Nazi fanatics against the "good Germans" who were plotting to overthrow Adolf Hitler. Despite his relatively low rank of major, he was in command of the Guards Battalion Grossdeutschland in Berlin when on 20 July 1944 the military plot against Hitler was in full swing. As is often the case with military coups, many of those involved at the lower levels thought it was an exercise. Remer was instructed to deploy his troops to guard essential public buildings. He complied. He was further ordered to arrest Dr Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, and Gauleiter of Berlin. Many young officers would have had difficulties with such an order. Goebbels was the public face of Germany and also the patron of the battalion. When the two men came face to face, Goebbels seized the psychological initiative, and established contact with Hitler at the "Wolves' Lair" in Rastenburg, East Prussia. Hitler promoted Remer to colonel over the phone and ordered him to move swiftly to crush the conspirators. Most of them were shot, committed suicide or were later hanged after show trials. Had Remer taken a different line, it is possible the plot would have succeeded. Although Hitler had survived the plotters' assassination attempt, which killed some of his entourage in a bomb explosion, if the plotters had succeeded in taking control of Germany the war could have ended nearly a year before it did. Doubts about Remer had been expressed by the anti-Hitler plotter and Berlin police chief Count Wolff von Helldorf, but he was overruled by his military colleagues who thought Remer would simply obey superior orders. Remer had been awarded the knight's cross for his active service. Only weeks before, he had been wounded in an air raid and had made a good impression on the Berlin conspirators. However, Remer, a former Hitler Youth leader, remained true to his oath of loyalty to Hitler, which every soldier had been obliged to give. Remer finished the war as a major-general before spending some time in an American POW camp and in a British internment camp. He had had a good war as a professional soldier and found it impossible to come to terms with the new Germany. The country was occupied, divided, disarmed, despised and battling to cope with millions of refugees. He was by no means alone in seeing the Third Reich as "12 glorious years". He was feted among the remnants of those still loyal to the Third Reich and was soon active in far right politics. The party he helped to found in Hamlin in October 1949, the Sozialistische Reichspartei (SRP), was briefly successful. In the regional elections in Lower Saxony in 1951, it attracted 366,790 votes - 11 per cent. In Bremen in October, it won 7.7 per cent of the vote, with Remer as deputy chairman of the party. These results shocked the outside world. But the truth was, Lower Saxony had been a Nazi stronghold even in the 1920s, and the SRP was largely confined to that area. Of its 10,300 members, 6,500 were in Lower Saxony. Meanwhile, an action for slandering the members of the anti-Nazi resistance was brought against Remer by surviving relatives of the July plotters. Sentenced to three months' imprisonment on 15 March 1952, he fled to Egypt. The SRP was banned as unconstitutional in the same year. Remer remained unrepentant in his support for Nazi Germany. If anything, he seemed to get more extreme as his cause lost popularity. He participated in or led several neo-Nazi movements in the decades that followed. Until 1989, he headed the German Freedom Movement (Die Deutsche Freiheitsbewegung); this was one of 23 similar groups with an estimated combined membership of only 1,500. It was on the fringe of the fringe of far-right politics. From June 1991 to February 1994 Remer published the Remer Depesche, which claimed to have its offices in Britain - it was then replaced by the Deutschland Report. In 1994, he moved to Spain to avoid a 22-month sentence for inciting hatred, violence and racism - he was one of a small colony of German and Austrian "revisionists" who denied the Holocaust. The extremist magazine Halt evaluated Remer's "escape" to Spain as "a severe setback for the German Federal Government in its war against Germany". Good condition
