My Treasures-The Beginning

[UDO]

I just thought I would share some items my Dad brought home from the war. He was in the 30th Infantry Division and served in WWII from the Bulge till the end of the war.

Thank you for the compliments! Of course I left out the most important item..........his life.
Actually Udo was my birth name, I was born in Wurzburg Germany. I was adopted by him and have lived in the U.S. all my life. So these items were given to me and were the beginning of my collecting. I have since added some Buckles, Skulls, Eagles and Equipment. You people on the Forum have been a great help and given me a very warm welcome. So I thought I would share my Vet brought back treasures with you.
Thank you, Udo (Kurt Fleischmann)

Yes, there was a P38 in it as well.
Belgium is a beautiful country, my Dad took me there when I was 13. We visited all the places he was at during the war. Belgium, Germany and England.
