I collect WW2 snapshots mostly of famous leaders, Eisenhower,Patton etc. I recently purchased a photo album from a WW2 3rd Division soldier, in hopes of a Patton snapshot. I discovered some very powerful images.This soldier was involved in the Battle of Bulge and his division was one of the first division to arrive at Buchenwald(concentration camp) Apr '45. When he arrived he took some powerful snapshot photos at the concentration camp.
I thought about donating the concentration camp photos to a holocaust museum and sell the rest of the album. There's about 200+ snapshots, A George Patton signed "Patton Prayer" card, a piece of a German parachute, and a photo of a "experimental" German airplane Dornier Do 335 Pfeil.
What would be the best military auction house? I know MEARS has a military auction, but wasn't sure if there's other out there's that are better..? Any help would be appreciated.
(Hopefully the pictures show the right position like they do on photo bucket)
