I'm not sure this is the right place for this but nothing really fits rail road eagles.
I've been communicating with Bill Shea on rail road eagles and he passed on this photograph of his. This is the eagle that was removed from Hitler's train. Bill obtained it from Ike's pilot, Kurt Heilbronn (who is in the framed photograph next to the eagle). As you can see from the photograph there is a hole in the right wing. This was put there by the veteran so that he could display it.
Anyway, I though it was interresting so I obtained Bill's permission to post it on the forum.
