Title: World War II Collectables
Post by: Nighthawk on December 07, 2013, 03:40:20 AM
Picked this item up today at a stamp show. It is a leaflet that was dropped by Allied aircraft in France to encourage German soldiers to surrender. It guaranteed that if a German was to surrender he was to be properly treated, fed, and was to be given medical attention if needed.  :)

Interesting piece of history.
I wonder how many Germans took up the offer.

Fantastic.......I collect Nazi Germany coins.  One of each from 9 mints each year.  Also have a few banknotes as well.

Looks like I need to expand my collection now.

Also have a Nazi War Bond plus a few other documents

Barry do you have any Nazi postal covers? You can usually find some inexpensive ones at stamp shows. If you don't have any I can always get some for you to add to your collection.  :)
