tgardner Posted June 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2020 Hey... I registered because someone put some pictures up of US guided bombs from the VB series and I thought I'd add some information seeing as how I was writing a book on advanced technology in WW 2, mostly having gotten tired of the "Germany had the greatest (fill in the blank)" nonsense. While not a collector, I think my value as a contributor is I can often identify and give far more background to items that others have. For example, some years ago, a Belgian found a dog tag in the Ardennes belonging to a US soldier. From that tag he had posted up, I found the man's relatives, then his wife and children in Florida and set up a contact so the tag could be returned to them. His wife told us he was in the 106th Infantry Division-- something I had already discovered-- but details of his being a POW then of a visit to Germany decades later where he was still having PTSD flashbacks about that time hearing Germans speaking around him. All that from a dogtag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
