Unknown piece of iron

This piece of iron came from a english wwII trench. It is very heavy like it is all iron.

Long 15 cm
diameter small 35 mm
diameter max 50 mm
diameter medium 45 mm

Some idea about it? It is part of a hand vehicle for ammunition\rations?

German POW art

Picked this up at an estate sale a few months ago. The son said his Dad was a guard at a POW camp during the war. Wonder if any of you guys might be able to identify the boat by the 2 crests on top. Thanks.

Suspected Armband Fakes

I was offered these recently from a very eager seller in Germany. I suspect they are all fake. Most appear printed to me. Why have the stamp on the cloth? Was this common, or just an attempt to add some credibility to a fake? Sorry, but this is the only photo I have.
