Took some pictures of my favorite uniform. I didn’t post in the 39 uniform section as there is a discussion going on that I didn’t want to disrupt.

This one I keep at the office as this is where I spend most of my time and it generates much discussion as people pass through - I get to teach a little Polish history.

This one came from a friend in the U.S. He called one Friday night describing a uniform for sale from a dealer from Krakow. He gave the entire description of the mountain division type, the eagle feather etc, and as the price was decent I had him buy it for me and send it up.

It wasn’t until I received it did I put every thing together and discovered that the tunic belonged to the 11th division–one to which my grandfather belonged to in 1939. My grandfather was in the infantry, not artillery, but still the same division and the closest I will probably ever get to owning the type of uniform he would have had.
