Two photos, one captioned—Luckenwalde 1941.
Luckenwalde is the capital of the Teltow-Fläming district in the German state of Brandenburg and is 52 kilometres south of Berlin. During WW2, there was a PoW camp (Stalag III-a) and a work camp for Poles, Italians, French and other nationalities, situated in the Luckenwalde environs.
I thought this table-top detail from the wooden barrack scene was interesting

What a wonderful fascinating thread !! makes you appreciate what these poor brave individuals indured. Thank you for sharing ..Steve
I am 99.99999% sure this jacket and patch are a recent marriage but as it was the pretty much the price of a "P" patch by itself, I went ahead and purchased it anyway. The "P" patch is definitely okay so am happy enough with just that. The heavy cotton jacket is fairly crudely stitched together and could be from anywhere and any time, although it does have some age to it. There are no stamps or labels in the jacket—that I have found. I am just going to hang on to it as is until another pops up one day and it becomes a new cleaning rag for garage use
If anyone comes across a 1940's Polish suit jacket tailored in Warsaw from a house clearance please drop me a PM

Call me mad... but I just bought this little figurine described as Politischer Häftling bei Zwangsarbeit (Political Prisoner in Forced Labour.... my curiosity got the better of my wallet
Made by Leyla (Spielwarenfabrik Christian Friedrich Ley, Roth in Nürnberg). From a little internet research I gather during WWII Leyla made toy figures of Wehrmacht soldiers as well as key figureheads of the Nazi regime. They also produced farm animals and wild-west figures. The company existed under the brand name "Leyla" from 1936 to 1978.
