Great pic of the beginning of souvenir collecting, what to take, what to take... Post pics of similar piles of goodies if you have them ;-)
Guy walking thru the pics is wearing about $20k of gear including his MP40?
Where do you start?

I'd make the NCO the wash his jacket and hand it on over this way 70 years later on!?! no?
You mean make him strip to his underwear?

a time when it was all free ........
Take a good look at the sleeve of his jacket. This is a true soldier.!
He sure is! But on the other hand I am wundering would the soldiers that captured or guard them know the significance of the badges on the guy's sleeve...? ...and what if a relative or friend of the guy (the British one!) died in a destroyed tank....
Don't get me wrong, I find the personal tank destruction badge a very high standing soldiers award, and am still after one.
But these kind of pictures are quiet confronting, (to me!!).

Is that what the three slashes on his right sleeve are, I was wondering?
yup.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
