Thank God for FJP Auctions!!! In two different lots of four Soviet Campaign medals were Defense of Odessa and in the other the Defense of Sevastopol medals. They were the last two medals I needed to complete my Campaign Medal collection. I still need the award documents for them. But, right now I am VERY happy!!! So, Here's the Defense of Odessa & Defense of Sevastopol.

Nine ex-Nazis given life sentences
I thought it interesting the way this has been reported in the news;
NINE ex-SS soldiers aged 84 to 90 have been sentenced to life imprisonment in their absence by a Rome military tribunal for the massacres of 350 civilians in Tuscany in 1944.
Eleven former Nazis were tried for the massacres, but one of them, Max Roithmeier, a former sergeant in the SS, died during the trial and a second, Walter Waage, was acquitted by the court.
The nine other defendants were given life sentences for their part in the "violence and murders" which resulted in the deaths of around 350 Italian civilians and for "acting with cruelty and premeditation," said the court's verdict.
Germany was also condemned as a civil party to the crimes and ordered to pay $2.18 million to the families of the victims.
"The sentence finally does justice to those who suffered directly the atrocities of Nazism," Claudio Martini, regional president of Tuscany, said.
"Even if 65 years have passed, we should not forget what happened."
Around 350 people living in the villages or hamlets of Bardine di San Terezo, Tendola and Valla, in the Fivizzano district, were massacred between August 19 and 27 in 1944.
The inquiry into the massacres was re-opened after the military records of 695 Nazis liable to be prosecuted for war crimes committed during the Nazi retreat from Tuscany.
AdelaideNow... Nine ex-Nazis given life sentences

Iron Trefoil III. Class (Croatia)
Hi !
A couple of days ago I posted this Croatian medal here in the WRF:
http://warrelics.eu/forum/axis-milit...l-silver-8342/
Today I want to show you an other award, the same soldier was decorated with.
With the "Iron Trefoil 3rd class" also came the beautyful document, (size: 37x29 cm), together with the envelope. the document was sent in. Also an accompanying letter !
The LT. was awarded "For bravery and successful fighting against bandits, especially in the Tuzla-region, where they´ve had significant losses"
I think, this is a rare award but it´s really more scarce, that it came together with the document, the envelope and the accompanying letter and together with the other croatian medal, (including the document and also an accompanying letter).
Also I´ve got the documents of the Iron Cross 2nd class, the Wound badge in black, the Sturmabzeichen, ("Allgemeines" Sturmabzeichen), and some other stuff of the same soldier.
Rgds.,
R.

Question M-40 Luftwaffe Quest Restore?
Hey guys, just wanted some opinions about this M-40 Luft I just purchased. Any ideas about the rusted side? Is it worth trying to remove the rust? In some areas its pretty bad and I worry with time those areas will only continue to get worse. I'm new to the whole process of rust removal so if attempted this would be my first try. :confused:
Any opinions are welcome!

Eks and other things
I have a few Eks. Most are Imperial 1813, 1870s and 1914s
with just a few TR mixed in for balance.
My main interest is 1st. class screwbacks but I love the
variety of all Eks.

Found in a Flea Market
Hello all, found this is a flea market just outside my county. This is an interesting piece of Canadian WWII regalia, I believe to be authentic. A scarlet red Royal Canadian Mounted Police tunic with ribbon bar. All brass buttons intact, but collar dogs missing. I also believe that the Sam Browne was added later to fill out the deal, as it is named to a troop in the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, but both pieces are interesting.
Thanks all for having a look, feel free to judge it's authenticity. I'm not out a great deal of cash-ola for it if it's not favourable.
Another quick question...is there a section for Canadian/British regalia and I missed it?
