Very Rare Personal Letter Written by Reinhard Heydrich to Reichsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler Regarding Polish Resistance Operations, the letter is on Heydrich’s official office headed paper, “Der Chef der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD” and is dated 12.Marz 1941. The five paragraphed typed letter is regarding the investigation carried out by the German secret police into the sabotage actions of Polish resistance groups, the document also mentions the good work carried out by SS-Brigadefuhrer Muller, he goes on to tell Himmler that it will not be long before they break the Polish resistance group. The bottom of the letter has an original ink signature of Reinhard Heydrich and also a stamp with a annotated signature indicating that the letter had been read by Himmler. It is very rare to find original correspondence from Reinhard Heydrich, so to find one that was written to the head of the SS is even more rare. Punch holes to the document and various stamps. A extremely rare and historical document. SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich is considered to be one of the most evil men of the Nazi system. He was given various nicknames over the years including “the man with the iron heart” by Adolf Hitler, “butcherer of Prague” and “the hangman”. Heydrich served in the German Reichsmarine before being dismissed due to “Conduct unbecoming to an officer and gentleman". He joined the SS on 14th July 1931. Himmler wanted to set up an intelligence agency within the SS and Heydrich was soon appointed in this role. Heydrich and his unit were responsible for many of the early persecutions carried out by the Nazi’s. When war broke out, he was very anti-Polish, and was keen to make sure that Poland suffered. In 1941 he was appointed Acting Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia (Czechoslovakia). Heydrich terrified the Czech nationals, with 142 Czech’s executed within 5 days of his arrival in Prague. Heydrich is considered to be the main architect of the Holocaust. He was one of the main organisers of the Kristallnacht programme. In the meeting by the RSHA in Prague, in 1941, where the “Final Solution” was discussed and masterminded, Heydrich was the highest ranking officer. Heydrich was placed in charge of the “Final Solution of the Jewish question”. As well as serving with the SS, Reinhard Heydrich also served with the Luftwaffe, flying nearly 100 combat missions, it was on a mission over the Eastern Front that his plane was hit by Soviet Anti-Aircraft fire and he had to make a emergency landing behind enemy lines. He managed to escape capture and Hitler ordered he come back to Berlin and continue service with the SS. He was awarded the Luftwaffe pilots badge, bronze and silver operational flying clasps. In London, the Czechoslovak government-in-exile decided that Heydrich had to be assassinated. Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík headed the team chosen for the operation, trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). They returned to the Protectorate, parachuting from a Handley Page Halifax on 28 December 1941, where they lived in hiding, preparing for the mission. On 27 May 1942, Heydrich planned to meet Hitler in Berlin. Heydrich would have to pass a section where the Dresden-Prague road merges with a road to the Troja Bridge. The junction in the Prague suburb of Libeň was well suited for the attack because motorists have to slow for a hairpin bend. As Heydrich's car slowed, Gabčík took aim with a Sten submachine gun, but it jammed and failed to fire. Heydrich ordered his driver Klein to halt and attempted to confront the attackers, rather than having his driver speed away. Kubiš then threw a converted anti-tank mine at the rear of the car as it stopped. The explosion wounded both Heydrich and Kubiš. Heydrich ordered Klein to chase Gabčík on foot, and Gabčík shot Klein in the leg. Kubiš and Gabčík managed to escape the scene. A Czech woman went to Heydrich's aid and flagged down a delivery van. He was placed on his stomach in the back of the van and taken to the emergency room at Bulovka Hospital. He had suffered severe injuries to his left side, with major damage to his diaphragm, spleen, and one lung. A splenectomy was performed, and the chest wound, left lung, and diaphragm were all debrided. Himmler ordered Karl Gebhardt to fly to Prague to assume care. Despite a fever, Heydrich's recovery appeared to progress well. Hitler's personal doctor Theodor Morell suggested the use of the new antibacterial drug sulfonamide, but Gebhardt thought that Heydrich would recover and declined the suggestion. Heinrich Himmler visited Heydrich in hospital but Heydrich slipped into a coma after Himmler's visit and never regained consciousness. He died on 4 June; an autopsy concluded that he died of sepsis. Heydrich's assailants hid in safe houses and eventually took refuge in Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, an Orthodox church in Prague. After a traitor in the Czech resistance betrayed their location, the church was surrounded by 800 members of the SS and Gestapo. Several Czechs were killed, and the remainder hid in the church's crypt. The Germans attempted to flush the men out with gunfire, tear gas, and by flooding the crypt. Eventually an entrance was made using explosives. Rather than surrender, the soldiers killed themselves. Supporters of the assassins who were killed in the wake of these events included the church's leader, Bishop Gorazd, who is now revered as a martyr of the Orthodox Church. Adolf Hitler was so outraged at the assassination attempt and the eventual death of Heydrich, that he ordered the execution of 10,000 random Czech civilians, but was advised that this was not a good idea due to the Czech’s being responsible for much of the labour for the German war machine. on 10 June 1942, all males over the age of 16 in the villages of Lidice and Ležáky were murdered. All the women in Ležáky were also murdered. This was because it was believed that civilians in these towns were part of the resistance which helped plan the assassination.

Medal housed in its original card case. Accompanied by a quantity of research material. The award of the League of Neutral Nations was for the following action, Lieutenant Commander Hersing in U.21 was heading for home in February 1917, after a very successful tour in the Mediterranean. On the 22nd February he met a Dutch convoy of eight steamers off the Scillies and sank six of them. In response to a wireless signal from one of them, three of H.M. Tugs from the newly formed Rescue Service came out from Falmouth, and with the assistance of other vessels, saved two of the steamers. About 200 of the occupants were brought ashore at Penzance. Apparently this convoy had a ‘safe conduct’ issued by Germany but Hersing was unaware of this. The outcome was that Germany eventually made compensation by transferring to Holland six German steamers then lying in the Dutch East Indies.

Alleyne Milbanke Chapman was born in Sunderland c.1913 and was educated at Argyle House School.

Empire Spenser (Master John Barlow Hodge), a motor tanker of 8,194 tons. On the way back to Liverpool from New York, the ship was attacked by a U-Boat pack, a newspaper article which accompanies the group details the action and his gallantry, “Last December, about a thousand miles from the Irish coast, the convoy in which was Mr Chapman’s ship, was attacked by a pack of U-Boats, and his ship was torpedoed and caught fire. Many of the crew were trapped aft by the flames, and the master seriously injured. Boats were lowered and Mr Chapman took command of one of them, taking it to the rescue ship standing by. When the men of the rescue ship wanted to take over his boat, he refused to allow it and returned to the blazing shop to rescue the trapped men. Out of a crew of 58, only one man was lost”.

WW2 Battle of El Alamein Casualty Military Cross Medal Group of Four of Lieutenant A T Almond 46th (Liverpool Welsh) Royal Tank Regiment R.A.C, consisting of 1942 dated George VI Military Cross (M.C), 1939-45 star, Africa star with 8th Army bar and 1939-45 War medal. The medals are mounted in an oak display frame. Accompanied by the original Royal Mint case for the Military Cross, casualty forwarding slip named to “Lieutenant A T Almond M.C”, bronze OSD Royal Tank Regiment collar badge, miniature Military Cross, tunic rank pips, Holy Bible and presentation book awarded to A T Almond by Bishop’s Sortford College in 1927. Arthur Thomas Almond was born in 1914, in Cambridgeshire. Educated at Bishop Stortford College. He served with the Royal Tank Regiment, gaining a commission in the 46th (Liverpool Welsh) Battalion of the RTR. He served with the battalion in North Africa and was awarded the Military Cross in 1942, appearing in the London Gazette 5th November 1942. The recommendation for the immediate M.C was as follows: “At about 0900 hrs on 4 Sep 42, 2/Lt Almond’s troop was ordered forward on to an exposed position subject to a lot of enemy arty fire. 2/Lt Almond’s tank received a direct hit from a large calibre gun. The tank which was moving at about 10 m.p.h, caught fire and ammunition exploded. 2/Lt Almond and his gunner climbed out onto the turret of the tank but did not leave the tank until they extricated the driver. 2/Lt Almond, although ordered to evacuate his crew, returned on another tank and managed to put out the fire sufficiently to get into the driver’s seat. He then started the engine and, although burnt himself, managed to tow out another tank which had been hit. He then drove his tank back, collected his crew and then returned into action after getting the tank into fighting trim. In spite of his burns and a temporarily blinded eye, he remained in action for another 10 hrs under almost continuous shell fire. The determination, bravery and coolness under fire which this officer showed proved a fine example to the remainder of his troop and the fact that they remained in their position materially assisted the success of the action on this front.” The 46th (Liverpool Welsh) Bn Royal Tank Regiment were part of the 23rd Armoured Brigade. They served in North Africa using the unreliable Valentine tanks. They fought gallantly during the first and second battles of El Alamein. Lieutenant A T Almond was killed in action on 28th October 1942. On the night of 28th / 29th October the 9th Australian Division put in another set-piece attack. 46th RTR supported 26th Australian Brigade, with some of the infantry riding into battle on the Valentines. But the darkness, dust, and scattered mines frustrated the attempt to rush the enemy position. The tanks came under anti-tank and machine-gun fire, forcing the infantry to dismount and lose touch with the tanks. There was confused fighting, after which the infantry dug in, supported by the seven Valentines of 46th RTR that were still running, the regiment's casualties that night were 15 tanks knocked out, and many more damaged, but all were later recovered. Although the attack had fallen short of its ambitious objectives, it had punched a hole between the German 21st Panzer Division and the German Wehrmacht 90th Light Division, effectively destroying II Bn of 125th Panzer Grenadier Regiment and a battalion of Italian Bersaglieri troops. An extract from the publication Valentine in North Africa 1942-43 gives the following information, “El Alamein, 46th RTR by now were also working with the Australians, and during the main Australian thrust on the night of October 28/29 were to attack with 2/23rd Battalion and secure the road. Unfortunately, things began to go wrong from the start. The final briefing was held very late, and Col Clarke returned without sufficient time to give his Squadron Leaders anything more than the barest details. The attack was to get under way almost immediately, and would be delivered from a start-line which had been chosen from the map, and which had not been reconnoitred. Some of the infantry would ride on the tanks, and others in carriers. The start-line was in fact, in the middle of a minefield, and on the way to it the regiments were subjected to heavy fire which caused the infantry to drop off. Several tanks missed the minefield gaps and became casualties. The situation became extremely confused, and the enemy fire rose to a crescendo. In the light of three or four burning Valentines the anti-tank gunners were able to pick off their victims from three sides at ranges up to 1,000 yards. The attack broke down into un-coordinated assaults which took a heavy toll of both tanks and infantry. Col Clarke and his Intelligence Officer were badly wounded by a mortar shell, and the Regiment was taken over by Major Offord. After a night of savage fighting, Col Evans of 2/23rd finally ordered his battalion to dig in at 04.00, 1,000 yards in advance of the original start line, The 2/23rd had lost 29 killed, 172 wounded and 6 missing. 46th RTR had lost all but eight of their tanks and had a high percentage of their crews killed or wounded, including all the Squadron Commanders. The casualties sustained by the 46th and 2/23rd Battalion had not been in vain. After the battle, Rommel recorded that the British tanks and infantry had succeeded in blowing a gap in his line, cutting off the 2nd Bn 125 Panzer Grenadier Regiment and a Battalion of XIth Bansagliari, who remained in Thompson’s Post, almost surrounded by their assailants, resisting all attempts to dislodge them with a ferocious determination. In addition, the 125th Regiments 3rd Bn had virtually ceased to exist by next morning, the battle having raged with tremendous fury for six hours”. Lieutenant Arthur Thomas Almond is buried at the El Alamein war cemetery, Egypt. He was 28 when he was killed. He is also commemorated on memorials in his home town of Cambridge.
