I posted a few pics a while back of a Helmet my Grandfather brought home from Germany for my dad. They weren't the best quality but there around here somewhere. Glad to see such a thread. Their are tons of items like that out there. !!!

I am 50% Italian, 25% German, and 25% Russian.

This compass belonged to my Russian grandfather... I know next to nothing about his military service in the Red Army. Only that he was injured (lost some fingers) and captured. The Germans then employed him as a medical orderly. I also know that he was from Rostov.

Here are some pictures of my Italian grandpa during his mandatory military service in Italy (post WWII):
