Great historical item Dave. You are very fortunate to acquire such a unique plate. It is always interesting to hear about the bartering between soldiers with relics at the time. My dad said, you could do well if you didn't smoke (he did not) and trade cigarettes for almost anything. That Russian soldier most likely knew that. The British GI must have concealed the plate after seeing the French soldier loose his loot. Congrats!
You lucky bugger Bruce!.....
They are out there but not too many attributed to the bunker, that's what sold me on this piece. The second I saw it I knew I wanted it!by ajax3985
Its a nice piece and the letter is neat as well, would not be out of the question.
That's really neat. I just saw one of these on this web-site. Wittmann Militaria #35278 'Kanzlei Des Fuhrers' 9 1/2" Dinner Plate
G'day mate, I saw that plate on Wittmanns site a few weeks back, I like it too but he's asking a lot for it. I have seen them go for a lot less than he's asking. If it was a better price I would have grabbed it!
Do it and post the pics & photos!!!!
Ha ha, maybe one day! I still think this plate is the best thing in my collection, the provenance is the sealer for me, it was within hearing distance of the gunshot that killed the bastard!
Very cool item! You have done so well!!! So jelous
