• Lot Description

  This rare commemorative book, Wir vom VIII. Korps – Soldat in Schlesien (1938), provides a detailed pictorial and textual history of the German VIII Army Corps (VIII. Armeekorps) during the pre-war years. It includes images of operations, officers, and wartime imagery, offering a glimpse into the life and organization of this military unit before World War II.

  The VIII Army Corps was a key formation in the German Wehrmacht, active from 1934 to 1945. It participated in several major campaigns, including the invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the Eastern Front campaigns. The book serves as a propaganda and morale-building piece, showcasing the corps' discipline and strength in Schlesien (Silesia), an area of strategic importance before the war​

    Third-Party Shipping Option

    Buyers, both domestic and international, may arrange shipping through a third-party carrier of their choice.
    However, Treasure Trove Auctions assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions of third-party shippers, even if they are recommended by our team.

    International Buyers

    International buyers are fully responsible for any duties, taxes, clearance fees, or additional import charges imposed by their country. These fees are not included in the shipping cost and must be paid directly to the appropriate customs authorities upon arrival.

    As the auction house, we handle the packing, shipping, and handling of your purchased items with care. However, we are not global import experts and as such, buyers must be aware of and comply with their country's import regulations, restrictions, and legal requirements regarding the items they purchase.

    It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify import laws and restrictions for their country before placing a bid or purchasing an item, cover any customs fees, VAT, or additional import duties required by their government, and ensure the item is legally permissible for import into their country. While our team strives to provide guidance based on past experiences, all final responsibility for customs clearance, import compliance, and associated fees rests solely with the buyer.

    We are unable to provide refunds or assume liability for items delayed, seized, or rejected by customs authorities due to non-compliance with import regulations. If an item is returned to us due to customs issues, any additional return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.

    By placing a bid or completing a purchase, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
