The kinds of things a WWII POW in Germany saved

I have a group from a Stalag Luft 3 survivor. He had saved some mundane paper items. At first it looked like trash. After looking at this topic I see their sentimental value. Will take some pictures and post.

Lt Lawson Corley, at Stalag Luft 3 remembered that POW's kept everything. Looks like little pieces of trash but I'm sure each had a memory for Lt Corley. Also his POW mirror and a post card he wrote home on a piece of cardboard. Yes it made it home. He even saved a piece of toilet paper.

Evidently someone was collecting this stuff during WWII. The Germans claimed the leaflets were selling for $10-15 in the States.
