WW2 Artifact

EBAY

What you get :

  • Original WWII German 2 sided map of Germany, it is marked in several places His movements up into Germany with the 3rd Army.
  • 1945 RESTRICTED history book of Patton's 3rd Army has the 1945 H.Q. stamp on the back and marked "Not for Publication".
  • Original German photo album with His photos and marked on each photo what it is. There are too many to picture on Ebay, there is some awesome photos in here. Contains 75 of His photos all marked with a description, & 1- 3rd Army patch.
  • 20- loose photos, 18 are marked on the back what with a description. One is marked "Not for publication".
  • 1- large photograph of Him next to the ovens at Buchenwald (very rare)
  • 1 undeveloped roll of German film.
Why I Picked this?
Why would I Not pick this? These are real photos from the holocaust. Each photo is marked with a description all throughout the consentration camp of Buchenwald. To me pictures mean more than clothing or helmets as many others will most likely choose. With pictures you can actually see what their emotions, physical being, etc was like.
