Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren items

[Woolgar]

After an incredible visit to Prague last month and seeing all the wartime sights and history of the Protectorate regime I really wanted to add some items from that place and time to my collection.

So I asked our resident expert on this subject , member Carl , and he obliged by sourcing some fascinating items for me.

That's what is great about this forum's Band of Brothers (and Sisters)

Thank you Carl
