[QUOTE="oasisnow7, post: 174831, member: 6754"]Would love to get one! But really don't need to much around here Heidelberg,Germany About 8 months ago A friend of mine who works on a old Germany base showed me where german crews were digging a long trench and all this metal crap came out . That metal crap was loads of german helmets,pieces of gas masks,old bottles...etc What had happened was the allies captured this base in 1945 without a fight and bascially what they could confiscate was thrown in this giant pit along with garbage and lots and i mean lots of empty wine bottles then they threw gas on it and lit . Alot of the stuff that was found was in bad shape but al least 7 or 8 of the helmets were in good shape And most of the china was in great shape (with swastiza marked bavaria 1942) So all in all I have 1 helmet,many pices of china Couple of military badges bayonet(not much left of it) But the china makes up for it full pieces not touched since it was buried in 45 As for the german crew they don't care for it since they try to bury the past also for the fact that having anything with nazi symbol is illegal here. If anybody has similar stories I would love to hear them.[/QUOTE]
