Great pieces of not often seen items. The barracks furniture and other areas are often overlooked.
I recall my time in the US Army staying in WW2 German Barracks and other areas to include the NSDAP school at Vogelsang, the SS Leibstandarte Barracks in Berlin (US barracks known as Andrews Barracks) the barracks in Bad Tolz and other places. Saw very faint remnants of the Third Reich on the walls and in the barracks bays.

Hi Smitty,
In your army time in Germany, did you see any Wehrmacht or SS furniture in those barracks? And do you find this kind of stuff in the USA?

David,
If there was any of this type furniture I would not have known about it as I did not really knowwhat to look for. There was wooden furniture and desks and things that appeared to have an older look, but again I really did not pay too much attention. Too busy looking at the Beautiful German women instead....
You may occasionly find this stuff in antique and junk shops here in the US. Again, if you aren't sure of what to look for like the markings on the bottoms of the seat and other areas you could very easily bypass it.
Point in case:
I knew a gentleman who was a Korean War and Vietnam era Marine. When he retired from teaching, he opened up a junk/antique shop and he a section where he had a large bin full of tableware, knives, forks spoons, etc. all thrown into this massive bin. I found several US marked utensils as well as many Third Reich marked mess hall utensils.. Most folks would have never noticed the stampings or markings, so yes, I would say it is very possible that some of that wooden furniture could turn up here.
