WW2 British Parachute Regiment Beret and Cloth Insignia Grouping of Walter Jokel who Captured Irma Grese the Head Warden of the Women’s Camp in Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp and was Tasked with Her Interrogation, the wartime beret appears to date from 1945, it shows heavy service wear and has some moth damage. Beret with leather trim and black cloth lining has the remains of the war department broad arrow stamp and possible date letter “Z” for 1945. Beret is complete with a chromed beret badge for the Parachute regiment. Leather patch behind the air vent gromets. Spiralling pattern to the top of the beret. Accompanied by his post war 1955 dated Airborne forces beret, by this time he was a Second Lieutenant in the Parachute regiment. The berets are accompanied by a large grouping of both cloth and metal insignia, including various pairs of parachute jump wings, printed and embroidered Pegasus formation signs, rank badges, medal ribbons, airborne pattern rank pips, etc. Also with his Normandy 1944 commemorative medal in its box and various items of wartime and post war paperwork. Walter Jokel lied about his age when he enlisted for service in WW2. Because he was born in Austria, he spoke fluent German, because of this he was placed under the Field Security Section of the Intelligence Corps. Newspaper articles written during the 50 year commemoration of the liberation of the Belsen camp gives us details of Walters time with Irma Grese and how he found her, “He found a young woman hiding in a barn a few miles away from the camp – her blonde hair was matted with straw and she wore only the tattered remains of her Nazi uniform. She looked scared”. Jokel was selected as her sole interrogator, he states in the article, “despite 12 intense days alone with her – he never saw fear in her blue eyes again, only glee”. He continues to say, “I thought I had been hardened by the war. I thought nothing could shock me. But Grese did. In the seclusion of a small wooden hut, she boasted to Jokel about her violent acts”. The evidence that Jokel provided at the Belsen War Crimes trial, helped convict Irma Grese of war crimes and he watched as she was hanged at Hamelin in December 1945. Walter Jokel parachuted into Normandy on 6th June 1944, he also participated in Operation Market Garden and the Rhine Crossing. See lot 1215, 1245 and 1498 for the souvenirs Jokel brought home as war booty. This collection has been consigned directly from the daughter of Walter Jokel and has never been offered on the collecting market before.

Lot 768
Rare WW1 British P-Type Gas Tube Helmet, being made in the correct double layer of flannel cloth material and the interior being lined in a pyjama striped cloth. Helmet is fitted with the original metal eye pieces which have rusted and left stained imprints on the cloth when it has been folded. Helmet also has the original metal and rubber topped valve for breathing which continues inside the hood and the rubber mouth piece still present. To the lower section of the hood appears to be an ink stamp “P12” running diagonally. The hood shows some wear and has some rusting stains and a couple of small holes. These early gas protection items are extremely rare to find, with many reproductions to be found on the collecting market. These helmets were quickly introduced to replace the earlier Hypo helmet. They were constructed with two layers of the flannel cloth so that the helmet could have more chemicals added. The introduction of the tube valve was also to help the British soldier breathe easier during a gas attack. They were called “P” helmets because of the chemicals used to impregnate them, sodium phenolate and glycerin, which protected against chlorine and phosgene. Although at the time of production the Germans had not used these chemicals, British intelligence believed a attack with them was imminent so this led to the pre-emptive development. See page 154-155 of “Campaign 1915 – Uniforms & Equipment of the British Servicemen in the First World War” by Chris Pollendine.
