Dachau camp survivor's album found

[NickG]

An article on AOL about an inmate's album...
See picture which shows again solid proof of Dachau insignia souvenirs origin! For those who still don't believe in this source!
Look closely what he did with the cuff title!! (in 3 pieces? and remnants displayed upside down???)

If it's linked to the same story (there weren't any pictures of the actual album) there was a *big* write-up about this album on the comcast.net startup page yesterday. A fascinating find to say the very least.

Very nice to see that insignia in there as well! Although, I honestly can't understand how anyone could ever doubt the Dachau insignia finds...

Can anyone post a link to the article? The Wiking title looks to be an officer version am I correct? Im hoping its a piece from the warehouse & NOT taken off the body of one of the soldiers who were executed after theyd surrendered. Ive gotten ALOT of dachau insignia from thunderbird vets yet Ive never recieved or heard of officer insignia in any of the Dachau grabs.

I think the Wiking cuff is the so called BeVo like 1 pattern for em/Nco.
I have seen some finds including flat wire cuffs like Deutschland but I cant verify if they were direct vet finds from Dachau or not.
