A description of the helmets history. To many museums make no efforts to recod the stories of individual pieces. Very irresponsible in my opinion, as the stories are the most interesting part.Comment

An other uniform identified to the particular soldier. Guth something... he is very famous for 101 fans.Comment
-
The things that I found most fascinating: smoe battlefield found, or battle damaged german equipments from the area. Some truely amazing pieces!Comment
-
This paratrooper jumpsuit was taken from a body by Guth, the US vet. The German was supposedly killed with a baionet, and there is indeed a coresponding hole in the suit! How incredible is that!Comment

More german battle damaged equipments.Comment

A very cool relic helmet found in the 70's. Since US parachutes are made with nilon, they do not decompose when buried, hence the exelent condition of the piece of parachute converted to a camo cover by a german soldier.
Thats all for now, I will post more picture latter on.Comment

Very nice
Keep posting as soon as you can.
I find very interesting the modified 98k bayonet reminding me the WW1 us trench knifes.
Thanks for posting

These photos were taken at the Juno beach memorial center, where the Canadians landed. The items pictured here were found buried 5 meters deep with the remains of an airplane and its pilot in recent years. You can see he parachute, some parts of escape kit, etc.Comment

The explanations at the Juno beach memorial were very disapointing... Unsualy there were none. For example this is all they had to say about the spitfire shown in the following pics:Comment

As I understand the spitfire was kept in a barn or something after its crash, explaining its exelent condition.Comment

This is the Canadian cemetery at Beny sur Mer. The commonwelth graves are much more heart wrenching then the others, because most graves have an inscription on it chosen by the familly, that often mentions wifes, parents and children. Most of the pictures as of now will be showing only different types of graves.Comment
