Greetings,
I feel certain in saying that most Luger collectors have at one time or another wondered what it would be like to go back in time to be in a battle area during World War II. I, for one, have often wondered just how readily available Lugers were back then? At the same time, how easy was it to capture other souvenirs? And just what was day to day life like? Please allow me to strongly suggest reading "THE FOOT SOLDIER" by Roscoe C. Blunt Jr. The book is HIS accounting of his day-by-day life in Europe as a private in the U.S. Army, fighting, souvenir hunting, traveling and anything else you can imagine - a wonderful read. Please enjoy.

Mike
