New Kurt Sametreiter photo book
Hello fellow PGF members.
I would like to announce the release of a superb new photo book on the history of SS-Knight's Cross holder, Kurt Sametreiter.
This book has been titled My Brother in Arms and covers the history of Kurt Sametreiter and Heinz Klosowski (Kurt later married his sister).
The book is designed to emulate the war-time photo albums and is contained within a thick padded and embossed cover (see attached images). Inside the book are:
179 pages (high gloss, high quality print)
350 photos (the majority from Kurt's personal archive)
60 period documents
20 maps to help orientate the reader
The initial print run is set at 100 and each one contains the stamped signature (he is unable to write due to Parkinson's Disease) of Kurt Sametreiter.
I will add my signature and an inscription of your choosing once the purchase has been confirmed.
The cost of this book is £75.00 and payment can be made via Paypal (fees to be added), personal cheque, or bank transfer. Postage and packing will be additional and this heavy beast weighs in at 2.4kg when packaged up!
This is a superb personal record of a Waffen-SS soldier who volunteered at the age of 15, served with SS-Oberbayern, SS-Heimwehr Danzig, SS-Totenkopf Division, The Leibstandarte and finally with the SS-Nederland Division. He fought on all fronts and all through the war. He rose to the rank of SS-Obersturmfuhrer and was awarded Germany's highest bravery recognition, the Knight's Cross. The images in this book help the reader see the war from Kurt Sametreiter and Heinz Klosowski's perspective.
Please PM me if you would like to reserve your copy.
Thanks
Peter

Re: New Kurt Sametreiter photo book
An update on where we are with remaining copies - 82 out of the initial 100 printed have gone, or are in the process of being sorted.
Re: New Kurt Sametreiter photo book
Have taken an additional perspective on this book project and created a Facebook and Twitter page.
The concept is to post regular updates that give an insight into the sort of things that Kurt Sametreiter would have experienced at different points in his military career - posted as a timeline, much in the same vein as the book.
Search for Kurt Sametreiter on FB, but not the one attached to the Wikipedia page. You will see the timeline updates on the correct one.
Search for LAH Publishing on Twitter for the same timeline feed.

Re: New Kurt Sametreiter photo book
With Christmas fast approaching, you may be writing your chrimbo list for Santa? If yes, you may want to place a copy of this on there.
Give yourself plenty of time for postage prior to the Christmas rush and also the usual Xmas post thievery!
The first 120 out of 150 signed copies are gone.
Ping me a note if you would like to be opening your copy on Chrimbo day.
Regards
Peter

Re: New Kurt Sametreiter photo book
Just to confirm that these are now all gone.
Will plan to print more, if the interest is there - just PM me and I will add you to the list. Future numbering will be done on the basis of date 'ordered'.
Am planning to do a second follow up edition, which will contain around 350 new images that were found after his wife died. Stunning images from France, Kharkov, Gent 1944, etc. Expect this in 2015, as writing Volume 4 of the ongoing RK project at the moment.
Thanks for the interest from those of you on here and glad that there are lots of happy customers out there - more to follow!
