Great photos fellas

What about a WW2 postcard... edited.. thought it was older due to stamp.

Finally got it dug out the other day.

Not a parade banner but it would hang on a wall behind a podium.

On white part of that flag…are those semen stains?

Probably blood stains....

I'm not savvy enough to post pics off of my phone. But, I've posted before my Mother's family lived in Prussia (now Poland) before WWII. They were displaced first by the Nazis and later by the Russians.


One of her brothers was put into the German Navy and was stationed on the Tirpitz in one of the Norwegian fjords when the British attacked and sank her. He saved a couple of guys.. I have two of his insignia from the Tirpitz. (Just can't figure out how to post them off my phone.

Another brother was pressed into service at age 14, or 15,, when the allies were taking Berlin.

Hers is the picture from Deerfeeder..

Not sure about the one on the left. Maybe mine sweeping?

Depth charge?

No idea, and have no contact with any shirt tail kin I might have over there. That, and I don' speak German.

I remember dealers at gun shows that had all the nazi stuff- always thought they were odd ducks.

Dad brought back quite a few items from Germany. His unit landed on Normandy D day +5 , He drove trucks full of artillery shells .
I remember him telling stories about deer hunting in the hedgerow country. His unit was near Berlin when the war ended.
Some of the items came from One of Hitler's summer homes, Sadly I don't know which items came from that place.
He brought back several pistols , but sold them during hard times after the war.

I have a Luger pistol my uncle brought back from WW2 I think France but not sure. Only thing he ever said to me was the hardest thing he ever did was put his wife in a nursing home, It was as hard as crossing the Rhine river. He gave it to me about 2 yrs before he died in 2012. The fact that he gave it to me rather than just finding it in his stuff means a lot to me. I may post a picture later.

My uncle brought back a for real chain mail glove from North Africa. It was in remarkable condition as it had to be several hundred years old.
