I found this site while trying to identify a pair of boots I picked up at a garage sale couple decades ago. I joined hoping to get your help with identification.
The gent I bought them from said he brought them back from Germany after the second World War as a souvenir of his 1st kill. I have found others jack boots that look similar to these, but nothing exactly the same.
Looking around the site, it looks like I could spend a lot of my limited free time here. I love to learn.
I love war stories, movies, books and first hand accounts. Currently I am reading several books about Marines in WW 2, after learning an old boss had passed away.
Sergeant Major Jesse Louis Pacheco. He served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He retired from the Core in 1979. The summer of 1990, 1st Gulf war, we where working in Baltimore. When he heard there might be another war, he said to me, he was hoping to be reactivated. He thought he could be of use.
I come across military items occasionally. I know a little some something, but far from a know it all.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Peace
