WW2 75th Infantry Division Scrapbook

[KommandoPost]

I picked this up today. Unfortunately, the scrapbook is missing a few photos and items since the seller took them out for resale and his own personal collection, but otherwise there is still plenty to look at.

 

 

As for the captured items, there's the 2 Nazi Wehrmacht breast eagles, some Reichsmarks, including a 10 million note, and Nazi era stamps glued in. The seller informed me there were once concentration camp photos he took as well as SS cuff titles that have since been resold to someone else.

Most of the papers are newspaper clippings and tourist type postcard photos from when the veteran toured Europe immediately after the war.

My favorite documents are the ship's newsletters from his voyage home although they are so poorly printed that they are nearly illegible in some parts.
