  • Going through some old shit.

    Here's an original propaganda pamphlet dropped from ze germans from me old grandfathers days when serving in Tobruk 1941 (!).

    Also have 'classified' maps. I had no Idea the ol' boy kept those until today.

    • The War Museum in Canberra might like those. Or the Mitchell Library.

      • They're all going to a museum.

        I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.

        • It's quite remarkable what gets brought home as 'souvenirs'. Guns etc. are fairly common, as are coins and badges etc. But ... there was a case about 15 years ago in country Victoria where a man was going through their ex-WW1 great-grandfather's papers and found the severed head of a german soldier in a box. This was successfully repatriated to the deceased's family, but WTF!
