WOW there is a lot to read on this site. I thought I'd post a picture of a few metals that I have received. These were handed down to me from my Uncle. He was in the German military during WWII.

Well now, that there badge with provenence will start a wee bit of a chat. Please press on and tell us more. Would love to hear about him, see photos too. My Opa was in the Luftwaffe as well. Was this your uncle's badge, or did he just have some pieces?

Welcome!

Thanks for the comments so far.
My mother's side of the family lived in Germany through WWII. My Uncle and his twin brother were in the German army, both were sent to the Russain front to fight. One brother never returned home. The metals with the ribbons belonged to my Uncles.
The Pilots badge, my Uncle aquired some how towards or shortly after the wars end.
