I have another minty EK2 I pulled out. No makers mark possibly W&L or S&L ? It still retains the long ribbon.

Hi,
there’s a famous website that sell many holocaust items. Among other things there are these armbands, as you see they all have SS stamps, but for the material and aging leave me many doubs… frankly what you think?

I have just purchased from Germany a box of aircraft relics which were collected from a crash site. It is supposed to be remains of a Lancaster bomber of No. 101 Sqn RAF, which crashed on the Nuremberg raid on 31 March 1944. I done a bit of research and I believe it to be the Lancaster SR-R "DV276” flown by Pilot Officer John Batten-Smith D.F.C. He was shot down by Oberleutnant Helmuth Schulte of II./NJG 5 near the autobahn at Röthenbach, which is 16 kilometres East North East of Nürnberg. The person who excavated the crash site did so at the location of AK Kreuz Nürnberg Ost, which is about where Batten-Smith crashed. It is No 101 Squadrons 100th anniversary this year I would like to present their association with some genuine relics from one of their squadrons Lancasters. If the members of this forum could help me with the identification of the aircraft parts, it would be a great help, and perhaps in a small way Honor the memory of those who flew with No. 101 Squadron.

I think I should warn you I believe there are some late Spitfire parts in the collection; I found a Hispano shell casing, and there are parts for both a Lancaster and a Halifax from 1943. It might be difficult to find the genuine 101 Squadron parts.
