  • No offence but did your grandfather steal them? cuz if he did thats a crime.

  • @waffenss893

    Of all things to steal...

    "Give me that belt buckle! That party pin is mine! Conquest of the Czechs? I don't think so!"

  • @WaffenMitUns Now i mean come on most soldiers ripped the medals and badges off the german soldiers. In your vid u show an iron cross 2nd class, war merits cross 2nd class, the war merit medal and a wound badge in silver+general assult badge and the costal flak badge. So what your saying is yes he stole them? or did u buy the decorations?. Im only saying this cuz those were someones medals i wouldnt like it if some canadian stole my grandfather medals.

  • @waffenss893

    They were probably obtained legitimately. Keep in mind, captured soldiers were tossing their medals and badges... and even defacing them. There were no shortage of these when the war ended.

  • excellent

  • Nice collection!

    

  • WOW if i just had one medal or a badge i would be the happiest man on earth.....youre so lucky,you dont even know it...:))))

  • @TRcollector

    That is a plausible scenario. There are not many reasons why a badge like that would suffer from such a modification.

  • @WaffenMitUns My guess is it was probably worn it a prisoner of war camp..... and got denazified there.... I've heard stories of soldiers doing that sort of thing .

  • I should also say that some of what you have is made out of zinc, and if zinc isn't stored in a dry environment it will rot. and when it starts you can't reverse it.... so protect and take care of it. Its a great collection and you should be proud of it
