Wehrmacht Infanterie-Regiment 118 Visor Cap & Papers

[Jan]

Hi guys,

Just here to show my recent purchase a Wehrmacht Infanterie Visor Cap to Obergefreiter Karl Wenzel who was Killed in Action on May 23, 1940 in Bois de Sommauthe near Sedan in France.

The cap comes with a large number of Feldpost letters from Karl and other documents. The cap is marked with a name tag on the inside and Karls unit Infanterie-Regiment 118.

Best,

Having the name to the hat is outstanding. It puts a face to say to the item!!
