These shoes were new and not worn till I got home. They may have been made in 43 as shown underside. We enjoyed a treat at a sidewalk cafe, first I'd ever seen. This could have been in Orleans where we were welcomed after some suspicious glances. Not much wonder as we were dressed in a great variety of clothing. This would be when we were preparing for our journey westward. We sat at lavish tables and had strong coffee liberally diluted with Calvados. Fourteen of us were assigned to one vehicle, a Dodge tandem truck with benches. This is the one that overturned later on. Hope to locate another piece of German equipment to show you.
Talk later thanks EA Campbell
