I purchased a small box full of WW2 memorabilia yesterday at an estate sale. The items belonged to an American soldier who brought them back from the war as souvenirs. Interestingly enough he was a Jewish soldier. The items included a bag full of coins in which I pulled out 14 silver pieces, the best being an 1888 Double Florin. Other items included about 150 postcards mostly from France and Germany including one of Hitler himself and another of a German soldier in uniform. There are many breast eagle wraps, a Iron Cross 2nd class, a Heim Ins Reich pin and small pennant flag, several uniform patches and a shoulder board, a 28" diameter swastika in a round border (looks like maybe the middle portion of a flag?), a letter stating the "captured equipment" being brought back by the soldier who owned the stuff. Some personal photos of camp life and some large photo (collage type) that I don't know much about yet. There is some other miscellaneous stuff as well. Now I need to figure out my best outlet to get rid of this stuff. Here are some pics-
