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

Hi Andrey, I really like the "Deutschland" shoulder straps and the Totenkopf collar tab and how they have aged with the thread dissappearing.
What is the skull patch! Very odd item.
What is the oval patch?
Thanks for showing them.
Cheers, Ade.
Your right Ade some nice pieces the state of preservation is amazing !!
It always astounds me how cloth and paper can survive in certain condidtions.
I think the Totenkopf must be a trench art piece those boys on the Eismeerfront had plenty of time for tench atr in their bunkers during the winter !!
