Where were you in '22? (1922)

**Marcus Vaughn** · 04-21-2016, 03:41 PM

Thank you TrondK. It is amazing that these pieces were kept after the war, esp. when one considers that the awarding of such Party material meant automatic arrest and prison time if caught by Allied Forces, Class I and Class II Nazis "unrepentant." Perhaps Eitel did not make it through the war, who knows what happened.

Various photos of October 14-15, 1922, German Day in Coburg.
Very limited photographic material exists today of the "Battle of Coburg"

This photograph shows perhaps one of the last reunions of the Coburg participants in 1941-42.

A VERY important and wonderful grouping that's close to my heart due to me being a collector of items and history related to the Battle of Coburg. Marcus, you done good!
