>>60412299
This looks cool keep it for yourself..
>>60412324
Yeah but it has a swastika on it
People might get the wrong idea
>>60412531
Sell it, don't listen to germanboos
>>60412299
Pretty obvious an iron cross.
Amerikans loved taking them homeas souvenirs, worth about 65-80Euros depending on where it was made
>>60412585
Thanks family
>>60412299
Why the fuck would you sell something that priceless
>>60412531
Who the fuck cares dude it still looks fucking cool..
>>60412299
Thats a fucking iron cross, big german military award, kinda like a metal of honor
>>60412299
>Grandfather fought FOR Germans in WW2
>I want to sell this medal
Not even a naziboo but why would you do this?
>>60413233
>Who the fuck cares
most people
>>60413234
there were about 3 million of those. not exactly a big medal. that was the ritterkreuz.
>>60412299
make michael harriston feel proud of you
>>60413308
No, most people don't give a fuck, it's just an old medal that belonged to a family member. Only a retard would equate it with your being a nazi.
>>60412299
It's an iron cross, that one looks like a replica of a medal Hitler mass produced for his soldiers. It actually comes from the cross Teutonic knights used, most knights had some sort of a cross symbol, the one that widens at the ends was Teutonic version.
Long story short, it's supposed to represent bravery, strength, and excellence in combat.
>>60413233
I am ashamed of my great grandfather tbqh
>>60412531
Who cares about other people's opinions on your heritage.
>>60413626
Well, should he be proud of his grandson who is afraid of a medal ? Stop being a pussy
>>60412299 (you)
>>60413709
His grandson didn't murder countless people in a war he couldn't win, then escaped to America when things got heated. I think his grandson is fine compared to him
>>60412531
>the wrong idea
>>60412299
Looks like your grandfather was a NINJA! Keep that shit in hand, in case of dindus.
>>60413626
Well, yeah, killing and looting the guys fighting for good in the world is kinda horrible.
>>60412531
>the wrong idea
>>60412531
>the wrong idea
>>60413787
his grandfather only did what he was told to do and he likely didnt know the outcome although it probably looked good early on,
>>60412531
what the fuck is this
>>60413626
dont be, he fought in the greatest war in history. Its not hes fault where he was born

>>60413881
Why would you sell it?
>>60412299
are you in highschool? attach it to your uniform and do a hitler salute for a minute during homeroom. Adress your superiors in high german.
>>60413881
Well, actually our firefighters still use these helmets... just put on another paint, put on a visor and a neck protection and good for fighting fire instead of commies.
>>60414149
I wouldn't, it would be cool af if had something like that, but my euro anestors were spanish/italians cowards fleeing war......
>>60414245
funfact: my dad has a German helmet that he reformed to use with his motocycle
pic related: argentine army in the 30-40s
>>60412299
My grandfather also gave me this, should I sell it?
>>60413626
I'll buy it
I found this in my great grandfather's basement.
It had a note atached to it saying that anyone who picks up the relic is automatically indebted to a certain bank account.
>>60414354
cuck :^)
>>60413971
>moot will never execute you
>>60414149
>tfw after grandfather that never talked about war died we found a close combat medal
>tfw nobody has an idea where he got this from and everyone thought he was just a mechanic for the Luftwaffe
>>60414354
I would suck dicks 24 hs at day for a month to get a nazi uniform (plus if it's an SS one) 2bh
>>60414112
Oh yes everyone wanted a European war and to exterminate Jews in 1940. War is one thing, genocide and ethnic cleansing is another
>>60412299
How much for it?
>>60412531
Yeah those stupid bigots might think he was a nazi whokilled6millionjews
>>60414354
I think your grandfather was a cuck
>>60414354
Look at those lightenings, he probably was some kind of electrician
>>60414554
nono, it's the uniform of le resistance
>>60414394
That's mine and you owe me 6,000,000 pesos for it. Pay up or I'll send refugees.
>>60412299
fuck off cuck, you should be proud of your heritage
Does anyone else here have WW2 guns?
>>60414683
Ahah, jokes on you! We don't use that currency.
Actually, our currency covers that debt with excess so now you are the one who owes me money. I hope you like 11% interest ratio eheheh
ahhh the gunfag had to appear...
>>60414780
The Springfield is possibly to most ugly bolt action rifle in existence
>>60412299
if you sold it, that would be the equivalent of someone selling their grandfathers medal of honor. besides why would you sell such a priceless heirloom.
>>60414442
Mine starting with mine?
>>60414691
My dads side was german and my mom's side was AFRICAN-American
>>60414849
Agreed
Wow, one of my great grandfather who is Japanese (I'm 1/4 Jap) was part of the imperial guard, my mother said he got it after he helped put down a rebellion against the emperor has a collection. Should I sell it? I'll try to find them
>>60414854
That iron cross coukd have been awarded to a civilian. There are multiple ranks of iron crosses and that one in the OP is one of the low ranking ones.
Is this acceptable in your country?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rtFX3JBYsIg
>>60414860
do you have a nazi uniform? if so, yes
>>60414916
Also, I have some cool imperial navy stuff from my ancestors. Too bad their at my parents house in California
>>60415002
They're* also, how much would they be worth, I don't care about my family's honor
>>60413990
>He only did what he was told too
Fuck, I hope he suffered a painful death
>>60414790
Ok Portugal you asked for it, refugees welcome
>>60415133
Seeing Germany now is painful enough
>>60414957
No but my great grandfather had many medals from his service in the Pacific and Burma he was awarded a Gallantry Cross as well as others. He also took a Japanese soldiers hat as a souvenir in a POW camp.
>>60414957
I have ww2 Japanese naval officer and an imperial guard uniform I'd trade in exchange for some steam games. And some other stuff. Btw, im not sure about the imperial guard one, don't know if it's army it imperia guard
>>60414780
I would like to move somewhere else just so I could own a thompson
>>60414354
I thought they were all killed in Berlin?
>>60415392
>>60415509
no sorry, I only like nazi or polish stuff
>>60415806
Lol, aren't the poles the ones who rode horses against tanks
>>60415392
How much for the Gallantry Cross?
>>60415886
that's nazi propaganda
>>60415936
I was joking around with that Argie but it'd never be for sale. I respect my great grandfathers commitment to his duty and country, it would be an insult to sell them. hope OP doesn't do the same.
>>60416050
Probably not.
Even we had cavalry devisions during WW2. If a tank showed up I am pretty sure they did everything they could to stop/destroy it.
Looks like he was a ventilator vendor, junk it
>>60416442
Ah, alright. Good choice. I think selling the medals your ancestors earned with sweat and blood is disgraceful. Sadly, mine didn't have any or they're just lost, who knows.
I'm just really interested in medals and thinking of starting a collection.
>>60416488
even if they used their cavalry I don't think it was against tanks (which could have been useless anyway)
>>60414442
You know I actually own a Stalhelm and Iron cross...
>>60416592
>even if they used their cavalry
They damn sure did.
>I don't think it was against tanks (which could have been useless anyway)
Well, as I said: just imagine a battle and there is a tank showing up. What are you going to do? Just run away like an Italian?
Even if a chance of destroying it was pretty low without the right weaponry, keep in mind they did not fight against Tiger tanks or what ever, but really early, shitty ones. A well placed grenade on the tracks/air intake what ever could have been enough to at least stop the tank.
>>60416632
that won't happen anyway.
>>60416742
>What are you going to do? Just run away like an Italian?
no, poles had too much honor for that, unlike italians.
But every Pole with who I have spoken told me they didn't fight the tanks with horses...
>>60412299
That's the voodoo charm he used to store his soul before the frogs got him.
>>60413486
They should, OP is a Nazi.
>>60416893
I'm kidding, silly! I also own a license plate from a German armored vehicle that some Lithuanian guy found rotting away in the forest there, I found a picture of the actual vehicle during the war with the crew it's pretty interesting to see them all standing around it smiling. I also have an officer cap from a german in ww2, name inside says Schroeder I think but I'm not home so I cant check
>>60412299
that's a free gaimu
>>60416893
>But every Pole with who I have spoken told me they didn't fight the tanks with horses...
Well, they were retards then.
They did use cavalry just like us.
The chance they met a tank are very, very high.
And as you said they probably tried to do something against the tank.
>>60417091
>they were retards then
[Citation needed]
>They did use cavalry just like us
sure, it doesn't means they used it against the tanks
>And as you said they probably tried to do something against the tank.
again, it doesn't means they used horses
>>60417179
We went there with like 3.600 tanks that pretty much pushed through their lines. I am pretty damn sure they seen one. And even Poles can probably figure out that attacking a tank on a horse (way faster and higher position) is smarter than attaking it on foot.
>>60417944
>we went there
you weren't even a project then
>I am pretty damn sure they seen one
speculation 1
>And even Poles can probably figure out that attacking a tank on a horse (way faster and higher position) is smarter than attaking it on foot.
speculation 2
give a real source other than your opinion and we can talk, until then, it's your word against theirs, and I'm not even sure you're a German in first place.
>>60412299
>burger
>nazi great grandfather
Cell that piece of crap for millions dawg.
>>60418139
Well, pic related. Polish Ulan with an anti tank rifle. What do you think he did with it? Hunted rabbits for dinner?
>>60418322
now you got some source, it would be nice if you ask this in V4 or /polska/ to see what they say
>>60414149
mi libro...
>>60418322
They dismounted for combat. They fought as basically dragoons, using the horses for mobility but acting as infantry in battle. On the other hand they could also charge enemy infantry and did so successfully on numerous occasions.
>>60420177
it makes sense
>>60417944
What actually happened in the supposed tank-charging incident was a squadron of uhlans attacking and mostly routing some German infantry and a truck column, but retreated when tanks/armored cars showed up a little later. Then afterwards an Italian journalist arrived and took some pics of dead cavalry and wrote about a heroic Polish charge v. tanks. I don't remember whether he came up with the story himself or if he got it from the Germans. It suited the German narrative so they propagandized it and later the Soviets and the post-war Polish communist government used it as an example of how supposedly retarded the pre-war burgeoise 2nd Polish Republic really was.

Melt it down and make a MLP statue out of it
