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

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

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.

Germany, HJ. A Wehrpaß And Documents To 16 Year Old Günter Nagel, April 1945

The collection consists of: a Wehrpaß (106x147mm, near extremely fine); two HJ ID cards (120x84mm, near very fine); an HJ health card (83x120mm, better than very fine); a savings book ID card (105x74mm, very fine); a certificate for continuous swimming (148x105mm, fine); an advanced swimming certificate (147x209mm, very fine); a beginner’s swimming certificate (148x210mm, near very fine).

The Wehrpaß is a third type specimen, dated to Neuruppin (north of Berlin) on April 3, 1945. Nagel’s photo shows him wearing an HJ diamond and proficiency badge.

The two HJ ID cards are both undated, but presumably at least one is from 1940. Nagel served on Bann 184 in Kiel.

The HJ health card is dated to July 6, 1941. It states that Nagel lived in Hildesheim (south of Hanover) at the time.

The certificate for continuous swimming states that Nagel has passed the exam of swimming continuously for 60 minutes. It is dated to August 23, 1944.

The advanced swimming certificate (Fahrtenschwimmer-Zeugnis) is dated to Grömitz (northern Germany) on July 19, 1944.

The beginner’s swimming certificate (Freischwimmer-Zeugnis) is dated to Grömitz on July 11, 1944.

Footnote: Günter Otto Nagel was born on November 4, 1929 in Kiel. He joined the HJ on April 20, 1940. Nagel earned DJ and HJ proficiency badges, as well as at least one DJ shooting badge. He was mustered in April 1945 and deemed fit for military service. As was customary for a young man who had finished school, Nagel was placed in the RAD (Reichsarbeitsdienst = National Labour Service). Presumably, he saw the end of the war while serving his mandatory half year RAD term.
