Post Your Favorite Item of 2011

[InfanterieSammler]

I would love to see what "goodies" you guys picked up this year.

It was hard for me to choose one item, but mine has to be this Wehrpaß from a Grenadier KIA (24 June 1944) while serving with Panzer-Lehr in Normandy. He was wounded on 20 June at Hottot-les-Bagues, approx. 10 miles west of Caen, only a few miles from Wittman's famous Villers Bocage engagement.

Enjoy!

To me it was not so hard to choose one since there is most unusual photo album that I have ever had and here it is.

This is a presentation album to a camp commandant from German POWs titled 'The album of staying prisoners of war German nationality in the Soviet Union. POW camp 238/1 by Ministry of Internal Affairs'. There are just few scans from this album.
