jcsanche Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 HiI just wanted to share with gentlemen a story. I try to collect named tunics with the hope that I will find the owner?s identity. I bought a nice pioneer piped tunic 2 years ago. It was named to Haupmann Fiedler. I was able to find the owner?s identity. It was sad to find that he was killed less than 2 months before the end of the war. You can see more photos of the tunic in this link. The tunic is # 7http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5526 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
