Sad he has so much positive feed back. 

MEMORANDUM TO: mikie, Scarecrow, ScottG and Illinigander,         It is very satisfying to hear from others who have an interest in the operations, units, individuals and relics from Northern Mexico during 1846 - 1848. Everyone responding surely pays attention to fine details and the overall historical significance. I have some maps in development that will provide additional battlefield orientation. Recent photos and old relics will be part of future presentations. What's more, quotes from battle participants and their portraits will be forthcoming. 

I have this one  Party flying suit. Commander David joe Ellison . CAG uss bon homme richard  cva 31 in 1970 . Vietnam westpac cruise 

Is that yours? How did you come across that? During a field dig?

Interesting.  I didn’t know that.

Nice find. It's a sleeve "striker" , WW2/Post WW2 US Navy Parachute Rigger. Is this striker on Gray fabric? If so this should be posted on this separate topic page;  Study: USN WWII Gray Uniforms 1943-1949   

Copy that, thanks.

I know this is an ancient thread but that's the Disston tool co. logo. not sure what they are doing on a Collins knife though.

I should add that POW correspondence attributed to a member of the “SS” is scarce.  You may want to do some research and see if Fort Dix was one of the camps where Nazis were held.  There was an attempt to identify these men and to send them to more secure installations.  This was also done to reduce their potential influence on other POWs.  Many were labeled troublemakers.

I can tell you this man was in the Luftwaffe.  This is indicated by the “German AF” notation (Air Force) on the front of the postcard.  When POW mail was forwarded on to the censors in New York, it was sorted by branch of service.    The POW’s number can be deciphered as follows:   4—Processed in the Fourth Service Command   W—Processed by the War Department   G—Served in the German armed forces 4251—His unique POW number   Co. 3—He was assigned to Company No. 3 in this camp.  The company number is part of his mailing address and not his POW number.
