Offered for sale is this very interesting group of documents are two 1944 dated documents from and about a R.A.D Arbeitsmaid Gerda Scheffran from Königsberg, Prussia who volunteered for the service in the Waffen-SS in February of 1943. The first document is a confirmation that she was accepted, issued by the Ergänzungsamt der Waffen-SS. The second document is Gerda’s ID to ride a certain bus line in Insterburg, containing a picture of her. The third document is really interesting; it is issued by the Commandant of the Sicherheitspolizei and SD in German occupied Warsaw, dated 12 October 1944. The document attests Gerda that she is a convinced true National Socialist and that she contributed with her tireless work to the successful suppression of the Warsaw Uprising and that she is recommended to be awarded with the War Merit Cross Second Class with Swords. The document is signed by an unknown Kriminal-Kommissar of the Sipo/SD headquarters in Warsaw. The fourth and final document of this interesting and unique group is the actual award document for the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern and it is signed by no other than SS-Obergruppenführer Wilhelm Koppe and bears two SS stamps from his office in Warsaw. He was involved in the Aktion T4 euthanasia program as the overall commander of Sonderkommando Lange, an SS squad which used gas vans to murder 1,500 mentally disabled asylum patients in East Prussia in 1940. Koppe was responsible for the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews to the Chelmno extermination camp. He survived the war and managed to never get prosecuted for his actions in the Generalgouvernement.
