Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Well, here's some photos of the updated display. I have since added a Luftwaffe Tropenhelm, a billed tropical cap and a pair of tropical low boots. I have also added a few more photos. And a very nice DAK officers wehrpass and silver wound badge certificate, 10 year Heer trooper, served throughout the N African campaign, was wounded 4 times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
