€ 175,00
Also from the "Rechneberg"estate
Rechenberg received his education in Borna and ended up in Africa, where he eventually became an American captive in Camp "Mexia" in Texas.
A very attractive and well-preserved Afrika-themed commemorative wall plaque, dating to the period of the German North African campaign.
The piece is pressed in brass/tombak and features a central shield with a palm tree motif above a stylized cross base, surrounded by decorative scrollwork. The inscription “AFRIKA” is prominently displayed above, with the campaign years “1941” and “1943” flanking the shield.
The design closely reflects the well-known Afrika Korps symbolism, making it a desirable display item connected to the North African theatre of WW2.
The plaque retains a beautiful untouched patina with multi-tone oxidation, giving it an appealing aged look. The reverse still has its original suspension loop for wall display.
Condition is very good overall, with minor age-related wear consistent with its period.
A scarce and decorative piece, ideal for any Afrika Korps or WW2 collection.
