Thought this was pretty amusing...

[KASTAUFFER]

Makes you wonder if the photos were actually sent in that envelope from Jack, and then the letter " was created as an afterthought"

Yeah, the letter sure speaks volumes....it's like someone wrote it in another language and then used a translation tool (like Google translate) to put into English.... :think:

 

It'll be interesting to hear what others have to say about the items, I mean the para-wing bracelet and the garrison cap look reasonably genuine and the postmark on the envelope seems real...hmmm,

Let's see...Jack wasn't at Toccoa, wasn't in Normandy either...He joined the Company in Bastogne. and for good measure that is not his signature!

 

Hope this helps.

He must of got the SS jacket while serving duty in 2007 in the Internet Normandy Campaign. Somehow two buttons have come loose. It was a tough battle.

For those having a hard time reading the letter, here's an enlargement, bad syntax and all. This is not a letter written by a native English-speaker.

 

[mach1derful]

How about that assault vest he's got too.

[mach1derful]

I assume that Foley may have actually written him back and sent him the signed photo. The seller is including the envelope with a letter he wrote up himself and including some things he had laying around in his collection. Good question is, how did Foley mail him a hat, bracelet, canteen cover, etc in a standard envelope?

I was just starting to research Jack Foley when I tuned in here again and saw these responses....

 

This is why I love this forum! You guys are all natural-born Detectives!! Excellent work! :thumbsup:

I think Jack Foley has two signatures as well.

[vostoktrading]

I think Yoda from Star Wars must have written that letter.

This a literal translation from French to English language. How go you? is the literal transaltion of "Comment allez-vous?" which means "How are you?"

Maybe he captured it from a German reenactor.

I wanted to make some sort of witty comment on this eBay item but I'm afraid I'm just laughing too hard at the moment to concoct one. :w00t:
