My understanding is the American soldiers would take this stuff off dead nazis. I’ve got some old Nazi stuff from my grandfather that he brought back from the war.

I’ve got a pair of nazi pilots wings from my grandfather. He was a paratrooper that dropped on d-day. As a kid when he gave them to me I innocently asked how he got them from him. His response was “let’s just say he didn’t need them anymore.” Growing up I was one of the only ones he really talked about the war with, and even then very seldomly. Thanks OP for reminding me of him today.

My dog came once with a grenade in his mouth.. he dug up a crate with ammunitions from WWII from our back yard. My house was a German office during the occupation.. needless to say we were running away from him and he was running behind us.. fun times
