Very Nice

Thought it would be nice to share some pictures of my todays visit to the german graveyard in Holland, located in Ijsselsteyn.
I managed to find the grave of Paul Schulz.
Thought it would be nice to reunite his qualification badge with his grave.

It is good to remember these badges we collect have history and relate to real people. Thanks for sharing NS and I am very glad you made the effort to go there. I visited a war cemetery recently with my wife. I have to confess we both were crying - so many young men and so many graves marked 'unknown'. What got me were flowers on one grave of a man who was killed in 1944, aged 21 - the card read 'I will never forget you'...over 70 years later. Military badges are great but war remains madness.

True story Tim.
Visiting such an impressive graveyard is shocking.
Seeing the amount of soldiers died in combat, most of them at a very young age.
Many guys barely 20 when they died.
No matter what rang or age, they all ended up in the same field next to each other.
For you luftwaffe heads, these two guys are buried next to eachother in Ijsselsteyn.
