CHASEUSA11B Posted February 19, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2013 Hello everyone. My grandfather served in the 16th Armored Division and fought in the closing days of WW2. Afterwards he spent some time travelling Europe before being discharged and returning to his family. Unfortunately I don't have his uniforms or any of his personal items but I do have these few items he brought home. They are not combat bring backs like many of these posts, but more of souvenirs. First is a large picture book of the German military. It has dozens of small stickers which I believe were collected -possibly by children- to complete the book. It is almost complete but a few of the stickers have fallen out over time and there is damage to the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
