IIRC, Eric (Cirlaw) and others here have an interest in WW-II uniform jackets and artwork... Ran across this article recently, and though I'd share it...

Another article on this site has an interesting discussion on collecting German Third Reich memorabilia. It discusses the sensitivities of displaying swastika marked items from collections...

I bought this for ten buck at a gun show! I generally have nothing to do with the Nazis except for my 1937 Kriegoff!

The OSS produced a version of that Hitler stamp, which showed his jaw and eye socket area as a skeleton. I guess it was meant as a psych-op to upset superstitious Hitler supporters.

These are very rare today.
