Hey Ron - Ekta a ongla alkva off a ortsha ierpa. When you follow these instructions, we'll know your language mastery is complete. And to the idiot who stuck up for this loser by whining that the thread is too contentious, and should be closed - This is the SS big boys club, not the Brownies.

I suppose you mean me, the starter of the thread. I got the opinions I requested and I suggested closing the thread since it was obviously going no where. But that's okay, let the beating continue.

OK- I guess I was a little harsh on you. I'm sorry. It's just that every time a thread gets somewhat contentious, someone wants to close it. No such apology to the troublemaker though.

Someone better tell my Uncle John that his souvenir hunting at the Dachau Depo was just a con game by the SS to cloud the post war collecting market. My Uncle was never a collector, and his bringbacks sat in a box in the closet for years. We'd take them out and thumb them over when I visited. Unfortunately, my cousin got the "bogus" patches he brought home.

I haven't posted here for quite a while, but I still see we have the Molotov cocktail throwers who will put out grand controversal statements, yet not back them with facts.

I remember the great Dachau patch thread of a few years ago when this same "controversy" was hashed out to the point of migraine headache.

Without rehashing it, IMO, the collectors I respect with vast experience and years in the collecting field have weighed in then, and now. The story is true, the patches are real. There have been high quality post-war repros dating from the 1960s, but they can be spotted with hands-on experience.

I still can't figure out if the bomb thrower believes they were war date manufacture, but never issued to field units, or whether they never existed war date at all. Or perhaps he just enjoys shaking the wasp nest and watching the angry reaction. My youngest boy likes to troll for attention that way sometimes, too.
