There's a great picture of a "Brit" NCO wearing "dozens" of high awards, (Knight's Crosses, SS Long Serv., Germ. Crosses, etc.) but I don't have it handy.....it say's he's a POW Camp Guard.....but what he's wearing didn't come from POWs.....someone will have it...I'm sure.
There are others, too.......there's great Pathe' film footage of Brit. soldiers trading "fags" (cigarettes) for German medals in Postwar Germany (Berlin?) too....nothing rare but great vinatge stuff!

I'd search harder but at's early Sunday morning and I'm off to do my flea market....
