The SS-Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungshauptamt, often abbreviated as WVHA (Central Economic and Administrative Office of the SS), was one of the eight main offices that oversaw the activities of the SS. The WVHA dealt with the management of the finances, supplies and equipment of the SS, as well as managing a series of industries and craft businesses that were directly owned by the same Schutzstaffel. In order to better coordinate the exploitation of forced labor in the concentration camps, the WVHA also supervised the entire German concentration system (through Amtsgruppe D). It was directed, until the end of the conflict, by the SS-Obergruppenführer Oswald Pohl.
Plate shows minor usage but no chips or damage. Excellent condition.
Along with the plate comes a picture of the owner, who served as guard in the Neuengamme Concentration Camp. The picture was taken in December 1941, and on reverse the inscription says: "Julfest of the 2nd Company of the SS-Totenkopf-Sturmbann Concentration Camp Neuengamme – December 15, 1941".
The name of the owner will be given to the buyer, to keep the anonimity of the family from where this set comes from.
