Unfortunately, he is 'documented' as doing this in the '60's...Datig has photos of a Totenkopf Luger taken prior to 1955...

Most of the pics in Pete Ebbinks post are so cartoonish as to be ridiculous...But Datig's TK pic looks...Ominous...

Portent of things to come??? Or a reminder of the unpleasantness that was??? Only the dead know...
