The following photo sets have been heavily reduced to sell quickly.
These photo groupings are top-of-the-line, highly sought-after, and very rare. These groups are from the core of my photo collection and are being sold to finance an even larger research acquisition.
------------------
Panzergruppe Guderian photo set consisting of 201 photos, all 3x4 format, all shot by a member of the HQ staff of the 29.Inf.Div (mot) and 48.Panzerkorps of Panzergruppe Guderian from May 1941 until Decemeber 1941. The photos in this collection were originally taken as these units crossed the Soviet frontier and battled their way to the very gates of Moscow. The 29.Infanterie-Division (mot.) was in the van of the push through the central sector of the Eastern Front in 1941 and therefore the photos include many shots of their coordinated attacks with the 18.Panzer-Division, 19.Panzer-Division and even Sturmgeschutz-Abteilungen. Every single photo contained within this collection is a priceless gem taken by someone with an incredible eye for detail and literally nerves of steel! Many, many photos are taken in DIRECT combat! There are many shots of impacting artillery, tanks and MGs firing, soldiers running for cover, burning landscapes, bridge crossings, river crossings, storming the Stalin Line, Panzer columns with infantry mounted, close in shots of the very first Nebelwerfers ever used in combat, gruesome shots of masses of dead burning Soviets and burning Soviet tanks, rare shots of the first known T34s encountered by Guderian's Panzergruppe, engineer troops searching for mines, divisional command post photos, massive columns of armored vehicles and staff cars all with the "G" on them, Panzer commanders in the turrets of their command tanks, medical troops, sturmboots crossing rivers, spotter planes in flight, captured Soviet officers and female political officers, Russian Hiwis (in 1941!), Sturmgeschutz in action with German infantry assaulting tree lines, at least 12 (TWELVE!!!!) identified Knights Cross holders, a *FULL* Knights Cross Holder presentation ceremony with one shot of *FOUR* Knights Cross Holders together, four *CANDID* shots of Heinz Guderian himself, in the field, commanding his troops, and much, much more. This set is by far one of the single best photo groups I have ever seen. I have researched this photo set extensively and will include the materials that I have uncovered thus far regarding names of all KC holders in the photos, dates of the various combat shots, locations of the places in the photos, etc.
This photo set was planned to become a cdrom for sale on Feldgrau many months ago but this project fell through. The lucky buyer of this set will get all research materials I planned to use for this cdrom. To see examples of the *ORIGINAL* photos included in this set, check the following link (the mention of ...cdrom... on this page is no longer valid so please ignore). http://www.feldgrau.com/articles.php?ID=71

Actually, I do have a rather nice collection of Police photos that I could offer for sale. Please contact me offline to discuss the details.
I also have a great small set of 6 Russian Foreign volunteer photos, a set of about 60 random portrait photos, and a ton of auxiliary photo sets, stuff like German Red Cross, NSKK, SA, female signal corps units, etc. Nice groups with all content related to that specific area.

Your point is a good one. The problem was the effort that went into creating the cdrom, and the fact that all of the work I did on it initially was lost in a computer crash. This, coupled with a failure on my scanner and lack of funds at the time made the entire process exceedingly difficult to complete. I had to refund a number of peoples money as a result.
Depending on the situation, if no one comes forward to purchase this set, I may in fact try and have a go at creating a cdrom one more time. I would need to sell about 40-50 copies to cover the costs I'm trying to make up right now. I know over time I could sell that number, but probably not in the next two weeks.
