Greetings Matteo Hard to tell what some of those finds are because of picture size . Some are easy to ID ,like the web belt hangers . Great that you found some of these relics The USA lost 2000 soldiers ,KIA, fighting for Salerno . Canada and UK lost many soldiers , as well . They were up against Herman Goering Div. and 10th Panzer Div. Find more history and be careful .. 8) 8) CMD
