Sadly my grandfahter is died a few years ago. So I had to ask my father.
Short-time before he died we found a carton whit many items.
There was a Eisernes Kreuz erster Klasse whith the matching distinction, a rusty barrel from a MG42, a steel helmet whit an black/white/red emblem on it, an rushian bayonet, a wallet whith Reichsmark in it, an poster which everybody had to hang out in his house, and an book which everybody becomes in the third Reich when he gets married.
But he wasn't willingly in the war, so he dosn't like to speak abouth it and hide this items.
Only twice times he tell me somethin, onece time when I saw his frozen black toes, and a secound time when he saw me playing a game whit aeroplanes, then he tell me, when he escape of the imprisonment from the rushians, he operate a FlAK on a ship by Norway. And there was so much bombers in the air, that it was dark on a sunny day, nobody have the heart to fire on the bombers. So they fly along to them operation and do nothing.
And once time he swarming, becose he was in Germany in furlough and there was the first escalator in the world.
Unfortunately my two uncles assert them claims to the thinks also, so this items are far-flung in the hole family.
