I have sold similar items on eBay and got very good prices. Check often on eBay in the ww2 section and check out similar items, they always come up. The photos are your most valuable. The other writer is right probably between 5 and 700 depending how many photos you have and how clear they are.

Tread carefully. This stuff may have a great deal of meaning for someone in the family, and it may have a lot of historical value. You may have some moral considerations here beyond the value of money
Do what's right for the man. He fought so that you could be free enough to consider E-Baying the stuff.

Thats great stuff. it's almost priceless! I would photocopy all of it and choose which item you would rather have the original or the copy. You could sell it to a book writer.

Usually items such as that will dictate its own price on auction, not any set price.
PLease, for historys sake dont break up the set!
If you picked it up cheap concider dontating it to a museum for a tax write off.
