GERMAN HELMETS – After having been stationed in France at the Little
Red Schoolhouse in Reims,
where the surrender was eventually signed, I brought these
helmets home.

#1 with Nazi symbol on the left side
No leather padding
Has never been cleaned and inside appears
rusty, possibly from blood

#2 German World War II helmet
padding may have a 60 written on it has never
been cleaned

I also brought a 15" x 20" propaganda photo of the 1940s, the kind
that was found throughout
war-torn France. It is a large photo of Hermann Goering that I
yanked from a Nazi
office in Chalons, France, 1944.

Finally, I have a Mauser pistol that I also brought back in 1944,
having it "fixed" in Greene County,
Iowa, by the sheriff to insure that it cannot shoot.





I have jpegs of all the above, if you are interested.
