Good weather on Sunday for the commemoration of th Good weather on Sunday for the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Zottegem. Many jeeps and other vehicles joined the tour of the town and surrounding villages. #1944 #1945 #ww2history #paratrooper #militariacollector #bevrijdingsdag #liberationday #willysjeep #willysmb #g503 #zottegem #freedomisnotfree
New scabbard with original period Screaming Eagle New scabbard with original period Screaming Eagle art for my Cattaraugus 225Q Commando knife. Scabbards are hard to find on the loose, let alone one decorated like this. This particular make of scabbard can be recognized by the tip pointing down to the left, instead of the right, as with most period scabbards, and the spacing of the rivets. #1944 #1945 #ww2history #militariacollector #ww2collections #ww2collector #ww2militaria #usww2 #militariacollector #bandofbrothers #ww2collection #airborne #paratrooper

It’s the September 1945 issue of the Intelligence Bulletin, focusing on lessons learned from engagements with Japanese forces. #1945 #ww2history #militariacollector #ww2collections #ww2collector #ww2militaria #usww2 #militariacollector #ww2collection

Post-war and wartime 508th PIR pocket patches. The Post-war and wartime 508th PIR pocket patches. The first one with the skinnier red devil with claws is from the 50’s. The second ‘fat devil’ version is from ww2. I have had the first one for years, but only recently found a wartime version. #82ndairbornedivision #1943 #1944 #1945 #ww2history #militariacollector #ww2collections #ww2collector #ww2militaria #usww2 #militariacollector #dday80
Do you know more about the origin of these WW2 Ace Do you know more about the origin of these WW2 Aces cigarettes? Please let me know. The pack is still closed, has no tax label and no cellophane wrap. I have had this for years, but I don’t know anything about it. Was there a link with the USAAF or the Airborne perhaps? #1944 #1945 #ww2history #militariacollector #ww2collections #ww2collector #ww2militaria #usww2 #militariacollector #bandofbrothers #ww2collection #airborne #paratrooper
I recently bought this Soldier’ Medal. This meda I recently bought this Soldier’ Medal. This medal is quite rare compared to all other combat decorations, because it was awarded for heroism not involving combat. For example, in the 508th PIR, only 7 were awarded the Soldier’s Medal. I am now looking for the stories about these acts of heroism by paratroopers. These stories are difficult to locate. Please share any stories you have! #1944 #1945 #ww2history #militariacollector #ww2collections #ww2collector #ww2militaria #usww2 #militariacollector #bandofbrothers #ww2collection #airborne #paratrooper
