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!
