Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

why kama II engraved .not sure ??
Re: ss tk purse
Mate this is a strange piece where did it come from.
SS Kama was the original 23rd SS Div , Waffen Gebirgs Div , Kama- Kroatische No 2 , they only existed between June-Oct 1944 and it is believed that they never saw combat.

Re: ss tk purse
All I can suggest is that bored soldiers in any armies do the oddest things....
If this is from a vehicle as suggested, it could have at one time been assigned to that unit.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: ss tk purse
Kama didn't exist in Feb 1943 and the Aufkl Abt in even the premier SS Divisions consisted of onlyone battailon. Kama never really got off the ground as a unit before it was disbanded in Oct 44.
This piece is marked with II / Aufkl Abt, the II being a designatioon for the 2nd Bn of a unit , so we have a second Bn of a unit which would have only been of one Bn strength , i hope thsat makes sense !!
As a unit designation it is completely wrong and for that reason i must admit i'm not too keen
