Last weekend I visited a friend, who had given me the bullet pierced British para helmet and Dennison smock I posted some time ago. In conversation he asked if I was still interested in German militaria, as he had some items which might interest me. He had a small collection, part of the originally much larger collection, of insignia collected after D-Day by an intelligence officer. He had already given me some panzer and SS items and wanted me to have the rest. So here it is. If anyone spots anything particularly interesting, please feel free to comment.

Some more, a little mixed. -
And the last. Does anyone know what the black patch with the oakleaves is?
And, what a waste of what would have been a beautyful cap!!Comment

You have a very nice collection of insignia. I really like the LW stuff.Comment

I have had a pm about the LW board with a P, all of the items came to me as they are. As far as I, or the friend who gave me them, know, this is how they came into the Intel Officer's possesion in 44/45.Comment
