Here are some futher items my Father had from WW II ( well the watch is mine

)
I do not intend this to offend anyone, my father was on the front line in Germany during the war. In order to join the Forces, he lied about his age & was only 16 years old at the time. These were some of the items he brought back from his duty.
Mod's if these are offensive, please delete this thread.
Thanks

Sorry Frans, no flight jackets. My father was a rifleman, not a flyboy.

John, that Rad looks too rad, my man. The items are actually really cool to see. Thanks for sharing and nice composition.

BTW, some WWII German aviators and naval personel wore Panerai made Rads as well. So the watch is actually right at home among that memorabilia.

Also, love the black/black OEM calf. Very nice.

Very cool, John

Irreplaceable history.

I don't think the memorabilia is offensive, it was the lunatic and warped ideology behind it

Uhhh, just checking, John - which side was he on?

Seriously, those are great collectibles, if only to remind ourselves "never again", especially in this day and age. Great photos!
