Guy's just picked up this grouping locally from a relative of PFC Fritz Bock who was a MP stationed Tokyo after the war and was a guard at the prison camp where many generals, admirals and diplomats where in prison.
grouping includes a large silk flag with many names and titles in English as well as their name in Japanese underneath. Names are in light blue ink and hard to read, but many Generals etc. I shot pics of a few of them.
Also included is 2 pieces of paper money also with many names and signatures including Tojo's.
An article from a U.S. Newspaper telling Fritz Bock's story on guarding these prisoners and lastly a Customs declaration allowing him to bring back Captured Enemy material.
I collect mainly Imperial German helmets, but could not pass up this grouping.
Would love to hear any feedback thoughts?
thanks
James
