Enough of your warmongering!

1946 portrait of the Swedish fleet. Technically post-war but oh well, it's a nice picture.

My father (who was 17th Airborne in WWII) brought home several souvenirs from his time in WWII in 1944-45.

This includes a Czech pistol and a pair of Field Glasses he took off a German officer. I "inherited" these glasses when he passed in 1999.

They are definitely German. I can see the German writing on them

E Leitz Wetzlar 6 x 38

This is a picture of an identical pair I found online.

yes I'm an American and a veteran of the US army but THIS isn't right....one more instance of Italy screwed by the west...Vittoria Mutilata, indeed!

This plus Operation Gladio really put Italy back.

I thought this might come in handy for some on this forum?

Just some odd/interesting things I came across

World War II veteran from Belarus Konstantin Pronin, 86, sits on a bench as he waits for his comrades at Gorky park during Victory Day in Moscow, Russia. Thank you for your service Mr. Pronin! I think he is still ready to fight!

Now I want reindeer games!
