PA-269. Knights Cross Oak Leaves Winner's item - WWII Rare Operations Book for Army Group North for fighting in the Soviet Union 1941-42.  This is a large book about 17"  X 12" with unit insignia of Army Group North on the front. In this book I found an official document dated 1943 from the HQs, Army Group North to Generaloberst Lindemann, about this book. From what I can find out in researching this book is that it was put together by HQs of Army Group North as a commerative/operational item of most likely the Crimean campaign against the Soviets in 1941-42, during the early part of Operation Barbarossa. It has many operational maps and the like for battles held with overlays of actions. The document shows it was given to Generaloberst Lindemann in 1943, document is also stamped "Geheim" in red on it, which is German for  "SECRET". The document when translated is titled  "Operational Atlas for the Campaign againest the Soviet Union 1941".  The maps and other items in this book are all marked from  1941 & 1942. Generaloberst Lindemann is a Knights Cross with Oak Leaves winner, he commanded troops around Leningrad.  In 1944 he was promoted to full command of Army Group North, later that year he was relieved and transferred to the Reserved Army back in Germany.    This is a rare item with original confirming document to a well know ranking Knights Cross Oakleaves winner - one of a kind item......$1,300.
