Skipper post away friend, I have an interest as well as my father was given his fathers collection, though my grandfather was up in years he was in the upper eschelon ~ somewhat secret I must say so will not give his unit, he was actually serving on the Ost front for US forces............crazy huh ? back to topic he wa able to gather a very large collection of WW 2 and pre-war third reich stamps now in my Fathers possession and this is what really got him interested as one of his side line hobbies, I do know he has sold several huge albums for some big bucks so will have to bug him to send them up this way for copy purposes, I have seen the collection quite impresssive
