Hello guys,

I picked up a large grouping of items from the South Pacifc earlier n the year. In the grouping there are several propaganda leaflets that were dropped from bombs and/or planes. Here are a few. They have translations with them also.

Sorry for the duplicates and their arrangement, I am having trouble loading the correctly.

Hello gents,

Some days ago i’ve got these drawing plates from what left of a book titled Wij Strijden Met De Teekenstift. The book originally the second edition and it was made in late 1941 or early 1942. It’s contain 2 bundle of caricatures made by "Kick" Hofer, cartoonist who worked for the dutch east indies newspaper Bataviaasch Nieuwsblad. Total of 50 drawing was published in that newspaper in the period of year 1940 - 1941.

Bombing over London

Operation Barbarossa

Haile Selassie return to Addis Ababa

Mocking Arthur Seyss-Inquart

When Rudolf Hess landed in Scotland

Tobruk in Operation Compass

Philippe Petain and Pierre Laval

NSB Max Blokzijl

Welcome Year 1941

My favorite one, hitler and mussolini riding the dutch east indies becaa / becak (tricycle taxi)

As you can see, the state is not really perfect anymore since i think it’s hidden during japanese occupation and forgotten afterward. Interestingly, there’s writing on the inner cover which indicate the book was stored in the library in 1942. But still, all of these Hofer’s masterpiece is really unique to watch and read.

I’m looking for some thoughts on this WW2 Fallchirmjager Helmet. I am thinking of placing a bid for this helmet and would like to know if this helmet appears to be an original… I realize that the photos are too few and are poor quality as to determining the helmets authenticity. The helmet appears to be in near relic condition and extensive pitting and painted over rust parts. It is advertised as possibly an ET71 and the line is said to be a 12 vent. If anything, it would only be a display piece…if the price is right. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It seems as though buckles are like buses, you wait an age and then 2 come along. I was struggling to find a steel Heer buckle in good condition with a maker mark and date. Was pleased to pick up a Heer ESL 43 that ‘ticked the boxes’ last weekend, then had another look on the web and found this one, and ordered it straight away. Hope you don’t mind me calling it mint!

Regards, Paul

Hello folks. Curious about a camo cover I have for over 10 yrs. and noticed similar ones for sale at ridiculous prices. It appears to be a WW2 version with no button holes, no EGA and no manufacturing print on any flaps. No pac man images and 3 slits on the fabric for the chinstrap which I read was common by troops to do. Here are some photos and thanks for any help you may provide.
