Allied POW Encampment documents WWII
Hi, I just recently found this website and thought I'd share some info I have regarding an Allied Prisoner of War Encampment located behind Utah Beach in France during WWII. (CCPWE #19) My Great Uncle was an American Captain stationed there. When he passed away my Father inherited a book that was evidentily commissioned by the US Army to detail the building and growth of the encampment from the days after D-Day till after the war. We believe much of the artwork, maps and graphs were completed by the German PW's. Very interesting stuff!!!
If anyone has any information regarding this encampment, or any others I'd love to take a look at it as I'm always trying to get more information. Especially CCPWE #23 in Bolbec as I believe my Great Uncle was also stationed there for a while.

Machete of the Wehrmacht-Luftwaffe
Hi, mates !
Month´s ago I catched a, (seldom-seen !), machete of the Wehrmacht-Luftwaffe at a flea-market.
Such machetes were originally manufactured for use in various south-american countrie´s.
As WWII began, this contract´s became obsolete.
Later in war the Luftwaffe bought on-hand inventories of this machete, purchased on the civilian-market, to issue long-range bomber-crews and long-range reconnaissance aircraft-crew´s for theirs on-board rescue-equipment.
There´re two pattern machetes.
“Erstes Modell”, (without sawback), and “Zweites Modell”, (with sawback).
You can find this machetes with crossguard and pommel-plate made of brass, or, made of iron.
The Wehrmacht-Luftwaffe never ordered this pattern-machetes officialy under observance of any construction-guideline´s, (”RLM-Lastenheft” and, thus, no acceptance by the “Bauaufsicht Luftwaffe”), and this is the reason-why, there weren´t Luftwaffe acceptance-stamps marked on any parts of this pattern machete.
It might be possible, that in WWII lots of this WL-machetes put together with parts, taken of available stocks.
Also WWII-made scabbards were manufactured of stiched-together blue card-board, (carton) !
The original metal-scabbard of my machete is unfortunately missing but I´m very glad, that I was so lucky to get one of this rare machetes !
Dimensions:
overall lenght: apx. 40,5 cm
blade-lenght: apx. 28,5 cm
