Pearl Harbor Pictures
Books Away! Knowing the World War II Autographed Materials That you Can Buy
For many war enthusiasts, the Second World War marked a period of great change that makes memorabilia from that era worth collecting. The Second World War brought forth revolutions in artillery and war strategies, not to mention secret, surprise raids that marked the beginning of the war at Pearl Harbor, and the end of it at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was the atomic bomb that spurred even more research in the fields of nuclear physics and atomic energy. At the end of the war, there were cities to rebuild and roads to re-pave. All changed in the world, thanks to the war and the men and women who fought and died in it.
Autographed books and memorabilia from the Second World War are therefore not difficult to come by. The war, its history, and its aftermath have fascinated many people, and the built in audience has not only encouraged more people to learn about the war and collect materials from it; it has also made businessmen out of collectors, as many people are willing to trade and buy autographed materials from the war for either display in their homes, or their own money making, auction, and buy-and-sell schemes.
What kinds of autographed memorabilia from the Second World War can you avail? There are many kinds of materials now being sold or auctioned on the market, and they can come from either the Axis or the Allied powers. In fact, many families with ties to Germany have Nazi-related heirlooms handed down from generation to generation; many descendants of Allied soldiers who served in the war will also have pictures, many of them autographed, of famous generals. Here are other memorabilia you might come across and purchase.
- Many French, British, Russian, and American pilots were often referred to as Aces during the war. This was because they not only flew fast and strong, but hit their targets and led their squadrons to victory. Most of these pilots not only emerged alive, but were able to sign a good many pictures after the war. Such photographs can go as high as a thousand dollars for rarer pictures, especially of the Russian pilots.
- Since photographs were rather expensive back then, many people had their newspapers signed by pilots, soldiers, generals, or servicemen. Such newspapers, along with the autographs, can be highly expensive, given the double significance of the find. If you can find an autographed newspaper showing the headlines about Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Normandy, the entrance of Allied troops into Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest, and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then be prepared to shell out thousands of dollars to purchase it.
- Many books were printed after the war, most of them detailing the battles that were fought, the Nuremberg trials, and the rebuilding that had to be done. Some of these books are precious to war enthusiasts, especially those who want to study battle strategies. Some books will also be autographed, not only by their authors, but by the generals who were involved in the battles.
- Not only did servicemen sign photos and letters, they also signed postmarked envelopes to their parents or loved ones back home. Some of these envelopes can also be bought, along with the letters they contained.
- Some soldiers spent time in the trenches honing their sketching, even painting skills. There are many sketches of the Axis generals available, some of them signed by the Axis generals themselves! Such sketches can cost as much as several thousand dollars, especially if they have both the autograph of the artist and the subject.
- Most Axis generals also required a military driver’s license. Such a license would of course contain their signature, and such licenses are also being sold in World War II collectors’ stores.

From Here to Eternity $7.11 Here's a model for adapting a novel into a movie. The bestseller by James Jones, a frank and hard-hitting look at military life, could not possibly be made into a film in 1953 without considerably altering its length and bold subject matter. Yet screenwriter Daniel Taradash and director Fred Zinnemann (both of whom won Oscars for their work) pared it down and cleaned it up, without losing the esse... |
