British character is defined by World War II.

Together we stood, a small Island nation, pitted against the might of Nazi aggression.

And of course things could have turned out very differently had America not joined the war when she did, standing shoulder to shoulder with Britain, to fight the Axis powers.

To fight for our freedom...

Now every year countless books, documentaries and films retell the stories of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Battle for the Pacific, the Blitz, D-Day and the euphoric Victory celebrations across Britain and America.

We’re now offering you a chance to own, and profit from, a piece of your history.

We have brought together an unrivalled collection of documents handled and signed by the men who shaped the course of the conflict.

The era has long been popular with collectors and investors.

But now is the perfect time for you to invest in this five star portfolio.

Why? Why now?

First, let’s see what’s on offer.

It’s unlikely you’ll see items like this anywhere else on earth.

The WWII Victory Proclamation

The jewel in the crown is a magnificent Victory Proclamation, boldly signed by American President Harry S. Truman himself.

The war had been raging for five dark years, but peace at last was a reality.

Produced to mark the end of hostilities, this inspirational document was finely printed in colour on heavy-stock presentation paper.

The beautiful typeface and eloquent language are worthy of the momentous occasion.

Dated 8th May 1945, it reads: ‘The Allied Armies, through sacrifice and devotion and with God’s help have wrung from Germany a Final and Unconditional Surrender.’

It continues: ‘The Western world has been freed of the evil forces which for five years and longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken their lives of millions upon millions of free-born men.’

It ends by calling the World to Prayer, setting aside May 13th 1945 as a day of thanks and remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This is the only Victory Proclamation we have ever encountered.

And it is in near perfect condition.

But that’s just the beginning of this superb collection....

Churchill & Hitler

They are the two iconic figureheads of the War – Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler.

The men who occupy the 7th and 8th positions in Fraser’s 100 Index of the most in demand autographs.

And these are much more than just signatures...

We have a 67-page document signed by ‘der Fuhrer’, dated March 31st 1943 – just after a series of heavy defeats at the hands of the Soviet winter offensive.

And now to Britain’s leader – Britain’s greatest ever Prime Minister, Winston Churchill - who was born 133 years ago tomorrow.

The man who embodies bulldog spirit and whose morale-boosting speeches inspired a generation.

And again, this is more than just a signature...

We have a signed edition of Churchill’s autobiography My Early Life, which would become the basis of the Oscar nominated 1972 film Young Winston.

Own a piece of WWII history

The ‘Dam Busters’ Raid was arguably one of the most famous single actions of the War.

In May 1943 the Ruhr dams were breached by the ‘bouncing bomb’, the brainchild of great British inventor Barnes Wallis.

And we have a genuine Wallis signature dated 3rd November 1943. That’s just five months after the raid.

There will always be a market for these unique pieces of history.

Why should you invest now?

Firstly, these items can only become rarer in the future, and so their value will only go one way – upwards.

We are certain of that.

Secondly, and very importantly, 2009 is almost upon us – the 70th anniversary of the Second World War.

This will see a wave of publicity and media interest, and that means increased interest in WWII memorabilia.

Remember, since we started the Fraser’s 100 Index of the most sought after signatures, the index has tripled in value, out performing the stock market.

18% per annum

The value of Winston Churchill’s signature alone has risen 178% in 10 years – that’s 18% growth per annum.

And we believe the 70 year anniversary will provide a huge boost.

Prices for these items start as low as £250 ($517).

Just £250, to hold a piece of world history...

By 2009, that will look very cheap indeed.

But hurry, these are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis, and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

We recommend you buy today. A single item OR the whole collection. You choose.
