August 5, 20232 yr #2 The Soldbuch of this gunner is most interesting. And yes it was used postwar. Recorded is the receipt of "Wehrsold" (service pay). Most likely he got it as a POW. I have read this wasn´t unusual especially during the arrest in British or U.S. camps. Awesome grouping.
August 5, 20232 yr #3 Very nice, I especially like the Luftwaffe belt buckle. It looks like it still restrains a good amount of paint? Very nice grouping! -Gear Fanatic

Thank you for offering this excellent information and confirmation of my initial wonder that this could be a German POW’s book. Sometimes I wonder……could this be a POW’s book? As I eat my Twizzler.

August 7, 20232 yr #6 Wow those are both beautiful examples, especially the Luftwaffe one, that one seems a little sloppy in quality compared to the Heer one. Maybe just production late war, very nice examples!
