I recently purchased this Red Cross medical bag and honestly have so many questions about it. I was told that it was German, but that’s about all I have to go on. I’m highly skeptical of it being an original WW2 DRK (German Red Cross) bag, but I honestly know nothing about these red cross bags and only bought it because it was a good price cool militaria It appears to be in good condition, but it certainly has an old smell to it, probably from the ageing leather. The leather appears to be old and the metal is also rusting, so at least it probably wasn’t made yesterday There are no markings in the bag, so I’m basically stumped on what era this item is from, and if it even is truly a German piece. Any information is much appreciated! cool militaria

So this showed up in the mail today. I was searching for vintage motorcycle helmets and this one was listed there. I emailed him to say it was a tankers helmet and said it was listed for less than it was really worth. He said thanks and told me to offer what he had it listed for and he would still sell it to me even if under valued so of course it has a new home now. My big problem is going to find a scrum for it, I haven’t even been able to find one listed anywhere. Thanks for looking.

I saw this strange and intriguing cufftitle ‘2′ - numbered. It is a metal ‘2′ attached on the ct.
I was wondering if it was very very early allgemeine SS?
I guess not that common I guess. Thanks.

This is a Propaganda Poster for an anti-semitic exhibit in Paris 1943 or 1944 (I’m not sure right now as i) which i wanted to share.
I wasn’t sure if this belongs to "Propaganda of the Third Reich" but considering that Vichy’s Propaganda personnel worked together with the one of the 3. Reich i will try here.
If this is the wrong section, please feel free to move.

I will also post others i have inherited as these are important eventhough dark relics from that time that should be shared.
Also excuse the watermarks, but having seen how often such posters are reproduced and sold as originals on Ebay for insane amounts of money, i want to prevent that

Hi there!

Found in the woods in Austria while metal detecting.
WW2 ammo? I’m not sure…looked through a lot of headstamp lists but couldn’t find out what it is.

Bullet measures 8,5mm in diameter; shell is 56mm long.

Thanks!
