Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Footnote: Ernst Rösser was born in 1920 (the exact date is illegible) in Gräfendorf bei Gemünden am Main (northwestern Bavaria). He received his basic training in the Bicycle Replacement Squadron 73. Rösser served in the following units: Aufklärungs-Abteilung (Reconnaissance Battalion) 99, Infantry Regiment (later renamed Grenadier Regiment) 851, Grenadier Regiment 7, Grenadier Regiment 760, and Grenadier Regiment 726. He was promoted to Oberschütze on March 1, 1941, suggesting that he first began his service between March and September 1940. He was promoted to Gefreiter (Lance Corporal) on July 1, 1941. Rösser was awarded the General Assault Badge on December 10, 1941. His next promotion to Obergefreiter (Corporal) came on January 1, 1943. In December of the same year, Rösser was wounded by a Grenade Splinter to the right cheek. He received the Wound Badge in Black on December 26, 1943 and was admitted to a field hospital on December 27, yet released again the very same day. He was wounded again by a hand grenade, mortar, or artillery, and admitted to hospital on June 29, 1944, being released on July 5. On July 7, he was back in hospital with the same code, this time staying until July 20. Rösser had to visit the hospital again on August 17 for treatment of an eye disease. He was released the next day. Rösser’s bad luck continued on January 30, 1945, when he was admitted to hospital for frostbite. He was released on February 8. The day after being admitted, January 31, he was awarded the Wound Badge in Silver. Rösser was promoted to Unteroffizier (NCO) on February 18, 1945. He also received an Iron Cross 2nd Class at an unknown date.
