Book Description

The ghosts of World War II are talking. Join a study of paranormal archaeology and latent energy that features 52 wartime artifacts, such as an SS Totenkopf Honor Ring, a Japanese gas mask remnant and pistol, and a bloodstained certificate. Pendulum dowsing, psychometry, electronic voiceprints, and psychic intervention help to explain that the artifacts relate amazing and haunting stories. Learn about the prisoners behind the padlock that emits an energy of death and incarceration; and a man who watched as a comrade fell in death only to take his SS ring. Read about a long-lost sole of a tortured soul; and a swastika on a gold chain that was worn as jewelry in a time of hate and prejudice. As psychic investigators, renowned psychic Jane Doherty, Shamanic Journeyer and Reiki Master Lisa Palandrano, and New Jersey Ghost Organization psychic Maryanne Vasnelis join forces with the author/sensitive to prove that these artifacts can talk.

Some more paperwork RK winner LW

Yet more stuff from yesterday,

The post cards are first war except the Voglesang card which may have memories for serving or ex forces. A bloody good range package there!

The HE 111 with the RK winner is quite cool but I'd run low on cash and the bloke sold me it out of an album for an old policeman, he is in the other picture and to the right of the pilot. The reverse reads 'with the HE111 and Nights cross winner Heiner on the 10/8/43 flown back to Orsha (Russia- Luitte? Lithuania?) left is the observer'. If he is there next time I will try for the rest but this was the best photo.

Then a few photo albums not much in them but cheep and chearful.

The books are quite interesting including info about allies Finnland and the Pics are good about Kreta, all books are of the period.

Regards

Jock

WW2 Russian F1-RG42 Pouch Variations Pics #1

Hello!!, some pics of different variations of grenade pouches found so far. There are 7 different ones. I have only been collecting grenades and related for less than 6 months, so I am sure I will be posting more sometime. I cant stop.

Some of these are interesting. Some have small leather closure tabs, with big buckles, leather tab sewn on backwards, and all sorts of little strange manufacturing details. This is what makes Soviet WW2 collecting fun, the hunt for more variations etc. and of course the history that goes along with all of it.

Does anyone have more variations to show??? How many variations do you think there are, dozens??

Regards, Steve
