Hello everyone:
Recently a buddy of mine bought a large lot of German paper at an auction. Most was not military related but he dug out all there was and gave me a call.
When I got home with it all, I started to realize there were two distinct groups - both to Pioneer Soldiers and both apparently killed in action.
The first group has a blue book that looks like a diploma maybe? Plus multiple copies of his death card.
The second group has more to it... The Vet's mother and father's stuff too - even 1950s bank books of some sort. And again, duplicate death cards.
I had no idea those books would have made it back to the family, but I guess they did.
This is not my area of interest and I was wondering what type of interest there would be in this type of thing. I took a lot of pictures of all the entries and I don't know what is worthy to post. Are there particular page numbers I should post?
Thanks for any input!
